Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5719 Quad RJ45 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter 1000M - 4-Port Server NIC (PCIe v2.1 x4)

Built on the original BCM5719 controller, this quad-port Gigabit Ethernet adapter brings virtualization features, proven reliability, and flexible functionality to servers and workstations that require upgraded network performance. Each of the four RJ-45 ports supports 10/100/1000 operation and can link to a file server or remote workstation over CAT5/CAT6/CAT7 cable runs up to 100m.

The card is fully PCIe v2.1 capable ( 2.5GT and 5.0GT/s) using an x4 Lane and is compatible with PCIE X4, X8, X16 slots, making it an effective replacement or upgrade for existing network ports. Installation is straightforward: the adapter ships with both low-profile and full-height brackets to suit different server or desktop cases and can be added to provide additional ports or redundancy.

Supported operating systems include Windows 7/8/10/Vista, Windows Server 2008/2012/2016, Linux, FreeBSD, and VMware ESX. Drivers are provided on the included CD, or may be downloaded from the Broadcom website.
