TP-Link 2.5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter Internal Wired PCI Express Ethernet 250 TX201

All in Seconds with Blazing Fast 2.5G Speeds

Incredible 2.5G Networking

2.5 Gigabit Ethernet reaches blazing-fast data rates up to 2.5 billion bits per second-2.5 faster than standard Gigabit Ethernet. For bandwidth-intensive tasks, whether local data transfer or Internet access, the TX201 is up to the task.

Household Storage, Share in Seconds

For local connections, a 2.5G PCIe adapter helps build a lightning fast transport channel between a central storage device and other working machines in your local network. Local data transmissions will be a breeze for you as you handle bandwidth-intensive tasks easily at your home or office.

2.5G Extremely Fast Internet Response

With 2.5 Gbps internet access, your gaming will be fully optimized with a large boost in speed, latency, and responsiveness. Large-sized game downloads, seamless live streaming, and massive data backups via the cloud are as easy as choosing your character.

Versatile, Multi-Speed Compatibility

2.5G Base-T is backwards compatible with multiple data rates, including 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps Base-T connectivity. The 2.5G Ethernet port automatically negotiates between higher and lower speed connections, allowing you to upgrade to 2.5G networking smoothly.

QoS Support

Quality of Service technology ensures enough bandwidth and avoids network congestion. Whether streaming or real-time gaming, enjoy a smooth web experience.

Wake On LAN

Remotely power on/off your computer with WOL, good for centralized management.

Low-Profile Bracket
