HP 816551-001 4-Port 1Gb/s RJ45 PCIE 2.1 x4 GE 1000Base-T Network Card

Product Description

The HP 816551-001 is a high-density, quad-port Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) designed to provide robust and high-speed network connectivity for servers. Featuring four RJ45 ports, each capable of 1Gb/s speeds, this card supports the 1000Base-T standard, ensuring compatibility with standard Ethernet infrastructure. The card utilizes a PCIe 2.1 x4 interface, offering sufficient bandwidth to support the aggregate throughput of all four Gigabit Ethernet ports without becoming a bottleneck. This NIC is an ideal solution for servers that require multiple network connections, such as those used in virtualization environments, network attached storage (NAS) devices, or as network infrastructure components like firewalls and routers. The quad-port configuration allows for increased network throughput, load balancing across multiple links, or connection to different network segments, enhancing both performance and flexibility. With its focus on reliability and performance, the HP 816551-001 is a valuable addition to any server environment demanding enhanced networking capabilities. It simplifies network configuration by consolidating multiple Gigabit Ethernet ports onto a single PCIe card, saving valuable expansion slots. This card ensures efficient data transfer and robust network connectivity for critical server operations.
