HP 652497-B21 2-Port 1Gb/s RJ45 PCIE 2.0 X4 GE 1000Base-T Network Card

Product Description

The HP 652497-B21 is a high-performance network interface card (NIC) designed to provide robust and efficient network connectivity for servers and workstations. This adapter features two Gigabit Ethernet (1Gb/s) ports, each terminated with an RJ45 connector, allowing for simultaneous connections to two separate networks or for link aggregation to enhance throughput and redundancy. The 1000Base-T standard ensures compatibility with standard Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure. Connectivity is established via a PCIe 2.0 x4 interface. The PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 standard offers a significant increase in bandwidth compared to previous generations, and the x4 (four-lane) configuration provides ample data transfer capability to support the full throughput of both Gigabit Ethernet ports without becoming a bottleneck. This makes the card ideal for demanding network environments where high data transfer rates are essential, such as in data centers, enterprise networks, or high-performance computing clusters. This HP network card is engineered for reliability and performance, making it a suitable choice for mission-critical applications. Its dual-port design offers flexibility in network configuration, enabling advanced setups like network segmentation, failover, or load balancing. The 652497-B21 is a standard-sized PCIe card, designed to fit into the appropriate expansion slots of most servers and workstations.
