PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Intellinet 522533 Gigabit PCI Express Network Card
The Intellinet 522533 adds a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection to a compatible computer through a PCI Express expansion slot. Its RJ45 port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps connections, making it suitable for adding network connectivity or replacing an unavailable onboard Ethernet interface.
Designed for copper Ethernet networks, this adapter supports auto-negotiation, full-duplex operation, and automatic crossover detection and correction. An included low-profile bracket provides an installation option for compatible compact computer cases.
Key Features
- One RJ45 port supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet.
- PCI Express x1 interface; supports installation in compatible x1, x4, x8, and x16 slots.
- Wake-on-LAN support.
- Jumbo frame support up to 9 kB.
- IEEE 802.3x full-duplex flow control.
- IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization.
- Included 8 cm low-profile bracket.
Gigabit Ethernet Performance
At a 1000 Mbps full-duplex link, the adapter can transmit and receive at up to 1 Gbps simultaneously. The advertised 2 Gbps figure combines both directions; it does not represent a 2 Gbps download speed or support for 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet.
Installation and Driver Support
Install the card in an available compatible PCI Express slot with sufficient chassis clearance. The manufacturer currently lists Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11, and Linux. Driver selection must match the installed hardware revision and operating system.
Ideal Applications
- Adding wired Ethernet to a compatible desktop PC.
- Replacing an unavailable onboard network interface.
- Connecting office workstations to a Gigabit LAN.
- Installing a wired network adapter in a compatible low-profile computer.
Compatible Products
Host computers require an available compatible PCI Express slot, suitable chassis clearance, and an operating system with a driver for the card’s hardware revision. The manufacturer lists compatibility with PCIe x1, x4, x8, and x16 slots.
For network connectivity, use a standards-compliant copper Ethernet connection and suitable cabling. Gigabit operation requires the connected network port and cable installation to support 1000BASE-T.
- Intellinet 530378 5-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch: Supports a standard 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet connection to the 522533.
- TP-Link TL-SG105 5-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch: Supports a standard 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet connection to the 522533.
Important: These are Ethernet link compatibility recommendations, not guarantees of compatibility with a particular computer. Conventional PCI, Mini PCIe, and M.2 slots are different interfaces. Wake-on-LAN depends on motherboard, firmware, driver, and power-management support. Jumbo frames require consistent configuration across the relevant network path.
