Part No. G2A5E-1X-E

Double+ Network Performance

250% the Speed of Gigabit Ethernet

Solo2.5G PCIe Card

2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Card for Windows and Linux

Faster Transfers Across Existing Cabling

Have you recently installed a new Ethernet switch capable of supporting 2.5Gb Ethernet (NBASE-T)? Interested in more than doubling network performance at every desk — economically — using the existing Cat 5e cabling already in your office walls? Sonnet has what you need — Solo2.5G™ PCIe Card, an inexpensive 2.5Gb Ethernet adapter card that adds an RJ45 port with superfast 2.5 Gigabit network connectivity to Windows^® and Linux^® computers with a PCIe slot.

Same Connector and Cabling – Faster Speeds with 2.5 GbE Switch

Featuring NBASE-T technology (also known as multi-Gigabit Ethernet), Solo2.5G PCIe card supports 2.5 Gb/s link speeds (2.5GBASE-T) over common Cat 5e or better cabling when used with a compatible 2.5Gb Ethernet switch or 10Gb Ethernet switch with NBASE-T support. Very affordable 2.5 GbE models from Asustor^®, Cisco^®, D-Link™, Netgear™, QNAP™, TP-Link, TRENDnet™, and others are available now.

Connected to the right switch, you can get great performance gains — 250 percent the speed of Gigabit Ethernet — without rewiring! In case you’re connecting to a switch without NBASE-T support, Solo2.5G PCIe Card also supports 1 Gb/s and 100 Mb/s link speeds.

Upgrade to 2.5G Ethernet with Existing Cat 5e Cable

No need to rewire your building; existing wiring already supports up to 2.5 Gb/s.

Zero Driver Installation, Simple Configuration

There’s no software for you to install — just install Solo2.5G PCIe Card in your computer and to the network switch (or directly to 2.5GbE-enabled storage), and then configure the adapter’s settings through Windows Device Manager, or the Linux command line (or graphical utility). How’s that for simple?

Faster Connection to Your NAS

Solo2.5G PCIe Card enables you to achieve faster file transfers to and from your Network Attached Storage (NAS) with 2.5 GbE support.
