StarTech PR15GR-NETWORK-CARD 5Gbps PCIe Network Adapter Card
Overview
The StarTech PR15GR-NETWORK-CARD provides a direct upgrade path for systems needing faster network throughput than standard Gigabit Ethernet. This 1-port 5GBASE-T PCI Express network adapter card leverages the Realtek RTL8126 chipset to deliver up to 5 Gbps over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling, addressing bottlenecks in data-intensive applications like high-resolution surveillance streaming, large file transfers, and network-attached storage access. It's designed for workstations, servers, and industrial PCs where reliable, high-speed network connectivity is critical. The PR15GR-NETWORK-CARD model number ensures you are specifying the correct component for this upgrade.
Compatibility
This adapter card is compatible with systems running Windows 10, 11, Windows Server 2019, 2022, and Ubuntu Linux 20.04 or later. It utilizes a PCI Express x1 interface, making it suitable for a wide range of motherboards. The included standard profile bracket allows installation in most desktop PCs, while an additional low-profile bracket is provided for smaller form-factor chassis.
Installation Notes
The card is powered directly from the PCI Express bus, eliminating the need for an external power supply. It supports Jumbo Frames up to 9K, which can improve throughput for large data transfers by reducing the number of packets processed. The operating temperature range is 5°C to 65°C (41°F to 149°F), suitable for most indoor environments. Storage temperature ranges from -30°C to 90°C (-22°F to 194°F).
