Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter - Network adapter - PCI Express x1 low profile - 1GbE - 1000Base-T

For PCs with PCI Express (PCIe) slots, the Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter offers technology for maximizing system performance and increasing end-user productivity. Specifically, the Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter uses auto- negotiation to ensure the adapter runs at the highest available network speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps), and maintains full bandwidth capacity with the dedicated bandwidth of a PCIe input/output (I/O) bus to provide connectivity you can count on. Based on the low-power Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller, this desktop adapter offers optimal performance in a low-cost, low-power, compact profile. Teaming support and an array of other advanced features enable customers to use this adapter as an entry-level server adapter as well.

• Delivers increased performance while significantly reducing CPU usage
• Reduces deployment and training costs and enables easy, quick migration to Gigabit Ethernet
• Automatically compatible with Ethernet, fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Enables widespread deployment
• Allows low-power consumption, remote wake, and remote booting
• Reduces support costs with remote management based on industry-wide standards
• Provides point-and-click power over individual adapters, advanced adapter features, connection teaming, and virtual local area network (VLAN) configuration
• Dynamically tests and reports network problems (error rate, cable length) and automatically compensates for cable issues
• Efficient packet prioritization
• Minimizes the overhead of interrupts
• Allows load balancing of interrupt handling between different cores/CPUs
