Edimax EN-9260TX-E V2 Gigabit LAN PCIe Card

Upgrade your PC with the Edimax EN-9260TX-E V2 Gigabit LAN PCIe Card and add 1 RJ45 network connection. This PCIe network card allows you to connect your PC to your network with ease. Installing the card into an available PCIe slot is a breeze.

Key Features

• 1x RJ45 (female) port
• Compatible with PCIe slots (not compatible with standard PCI or MiniPCIe slots)
• CAT6 specification for Gigabit speeds (10/100/1000 Mbps)
• Maximum bandwidth of 250 MHz
• Includes Low Profile bracket for easy installation

Low-Profile Bracket

With the included Low-Profile bracket, you can easily mount a standard PCI card that is Low-Profile ready in a Low-Profile case. Simply remove the standard PCI bracket and replace it with the Low-Profile bracket. This is especially useful in small system cases with limited slots.

CAT6 Compatibility

This PCIe card follows the CAT6 specification, allowing it to be used in networks up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit networks). It is also compatible with CAT5 networks (up to 100 Mbps). As many internet providers in the Netherlands offer higher internet speeds, it is recommended to use a CAT6 PCIe card.

PCI and PCIe

PCI, or Peripheral Component Interconnect, is a standard for expansion slots found on computer motherboards. These slots allow for the addition of functionalities, such as a sound card or network card. PCIe, or Peripheral Component Interconnect Express, is the successor to PCI and allows for higher speeds. PCIe comes in different sizes, ranging from 1x to 16x. A smaller card can be used in a larger slot, but not vice versa. MiniPCIe is a smaller variant used in mini PCs and laptops.

Choosing the Right PCI Card

The type of PCI card you need depends on your motherboard and the available slots. To determine this, it is best to open your PC and examine the motherboard. Usually, the left-side cover of the system case needs to be removed. The motherboard is the largest circuit board in the computer and is typically mounted against the back panel. The PCI(e) slots can be found on the bottom left of the motherboard. The image accompanying this article can be used to quickly identify if it is a PCI or PCIe slot.

EN-9260TX-E Network Adapter

The EN-9260TX-E network adapter is specifically designed for PCs with a PCI Express slot, offering the latest technology in power management and Gigabit Ethernet network connections. Its full bandwidth capability provides a robust 1000 Mbps speed through the PCI Express bus architecture.
