High-Speed Gigabit PCI Adapter

In client server type environments, connection between the servers and the clients generally use media transmission either wired or wireless. Wireless connection is preferred for clients connect to the wireless network environments due to its portability reason. However, many types of applications demand reliable high-speed connection between the workstations and the servers such as video applications, large data transfer mining graphical applications, Computer aided design (CAD) and so on. Wired connection is preferred than wireless in regards to reliable connection and high-speed. Wireless connection is prone to interference which disrupts the link connections. Typically gigabit PCI adapter is used for client workstations to the network server connections.

For home network that uses wireless gigabit router can also upgrade their desktop PC with gigabit PCI adapter for faster speed. In business networks that use any types of network security appliances with gigabit ports, or VPN firewall with gigabit ports, can also upgrade their desktops with Gigabit PCI adapter for higher-speed connection to the gigabit wired infrastructure.

NETGEAR GA311 Gigabit Ethernet PCI AdapterBesides gigabit PCI adapter, for easier installation without opening the computer case – USB network adapters are generally used. However, USB 2.0 type adapters have speed limitation up to 480 Mbps. But the next generations of USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed) can reach the speeds of up to 4.8 Gigabit. Brand new LAN switches are now designed with Gigabit technology, and mostly servers are equipped with Gigabit NIC. Therefore, upgrading to gigabit PCI adapters for Workstations and other desktops are more beneficial.

The following are some of popular gigabit PCI adapters you can consider for upgrading your desktop / workstations to support your Gigabit LAN infrastructure.

NETGEAR GA311 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Adapter

You can upgrade your workstations with the GA311 Netgear Gigabit PCI adapter for high-speed performance that meets your high-intensive bandwidth applications such as CAD, video, and other database applications quickly.

Features:

  • 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-sensing accelerates performance and eliminates the need for manual switching
  • Compatible with all major operating systems
  • Easy setup with Smart Wizard® Installation CD

D-Link DGE-530T 10/100/1000 Gigabit Desktop Adapter

D-Link DGE-530T 10/100/1000 Gigabit Desktop AdapterDGE-530T is a high-performance gigabit PCI adapter for wired network connectivity to your workstations or desktops. The adapter supports advanced features such as Wake-On-LAN and 802.3x (for smooth data transmitting and receiving). With wake-on-lan feature, you can wake the PC remotely from your computer with ACPI support.

  • 802.1p Quality of Service (QoS) feature for jitter-free VoIP and lag-free gaming
  • Supports auto- negotiation to automatically adjust to the highest supported transfer rate up to 2Gbps in full-duplex mode
  • Easy installation and setup with quick installation guide

TRENDnet TEG PCITXRL – Gigabit Network adapter – PCI

PCITXRL is designed to fit a low profile PCI slot of your desktop computers to provide a high bandwidth connection. It also supports the VLAN tagging technology to efficiently utilize network bandwidth for maximum data throughput.
TRENDnet TEG PCITXRL – Gigabit Network adapter – PCI

  • Designed for low profile PCI slot computers
  • 1 x 10/100/1000Mbps Auto Negotiation and Auto-MDIX Port
  • Built-in FIFO (8K/64K) buffers reduce overhead memory transfers
  • Up to 2Gbps data transfer rate in full-duplex mode
  • Supports Wake-on-LAN for Remote Wake Up Supports Windows 7 (64/32bit)/Vista (64/32bit)/XP, and Linux operating systems

One thing that you need to consider in deploying the Gigabit wired LAN infrastructure is that you need to use the Cat5e (Category 5 Extended) type UTP LAN cable. Do not install the cable with sharp bending up to 90 degrees and do not place the cable in parallel with power cable to reduce electromagnetic induction effect.
