Intel® Ethernet 700 Series delivers networking performance across a wide range of network port speeds through intelligent offloads, sophisticated packet processing, and quality open source drivers.

All Intel® Ethernet 700 Series Network Adapters include these feature-rich technologies:

Flexible and Scalable I/O for Virtualized Infrastructures

Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT), delivers outstanding I/O performance in virtualized server environments.

I/O bottlenecks are reduced through intelligent offloads, enabling near-native performance and VM scalability. These offloads include Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) and Flexible Port Partitioning using SR-IOV with a common Virtual Function driver for networking traffic per Virtual Machine (VM). Host-based features supported include:

VMDQ for Emulated Path: VMDQ, enables a hypervisor to represent a single network port as multiple network ports that can be assigned to the individual VMs. Traffic handling is offloaded to the network controller, delivering the benefits of port partitioning with little to no administrative overhead by the IT staff.

SR-IOV for Direct Assignment: Adapter-based isolation and switching for various virtual station instances enables optimal CPU usage in virtualized environments.

• Up to 128 virtual functions (VFs), each VF can support a unique and separate data path for I/O related functions within the PCI Express hierarchy.
• Use of SR-IOV with a networking device, for example, allows the bandwidth of a single port (function) to be partitioned into smaller slices that can be allocated to specific VMs or guests, via a standard interface.

Intel® Ethernet Adaptive Virtual Function (Intel® Ethernet AVF): Customers deploying mass-scale VMs or containers for their network infrastructure now have a common VF driver. This driver eases SR-IOV hardware upgrades or changes, preserves base-mode functionality in hardware and software, and supports an advanced set of features in the Intel® Ethernet 700 Series.

A USB-C to 2.5GBASE-T Ethernet Adapter for upgrading a computer or tablet to 2.5 Gbps speeds

USB-C Connectivity

Since smaller laptops, notebooks and tablets omit the Ethernet port, you need an external adapter to get a wired Ethernet connection. This Ethernet Adapter delivers that at faster-than-gigabit speeds to help you enhance your productivity and move at the speed of business. The adapter's USB-C reversible connector lets you connect it right the first time, so you save time and avoid frustration or damage to your USB port. It's also the perfect replacement for your device's broken internal network card.

Fast and Frugal

This 2.5G Ethernet Adapter has a fully auto-sensing Gigabit LAN port that is capable of delivering a peak performance of 5 Gbps in full-duplex mode. It delivers exceptional performance for everyone who requires an ultra-fast and solid network connection. The latest in power-saving technology ensures the adapter does not drain the battery of your computer in the process.

Portable Design

This compact adapter takes up little space, so it can be added to your work area without adding clutter. You can add it to as many computers or tablets that you need. When it's time to leave one workspace, you unplug it and add it to your bag. When you're at the next, simply connect it and you're set with a super-fast wired-Ethernet connection.

The Gigabit PCI Express Network Card is a high-performance network adapter. It supports the PCI Express bus architecture, which provides faster throughput than the current 32- and 64-bit PCI bus architectures. And there is no need to switch to fiber optic cable — the Intellinet Network Solutions Gigabit PCI Express Network Card allows you to run Gigabit speeds over your existing copper wire network cable.

The PCI Express host interface supports throughput rates of up to 2 Gbps when running in full duplex mode, ideal for resource-intensive CAD/CAM, client-server database, multimedia, pre-press, advertising graphics, server and mission-critical applications.

The Gigabit PCI Express Network Card will automatically detect the network speed that the LAN switch port is set to and run at the same speed. The card supports 10Base-T Ethernet, 100Base-TX Fast Ethernet and 1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet.

When running in full duplex mode, the Gigabit PCI Express Network Card provides the following throughput rates: 20 Mbps (10Base-T Ethernet), 200 Mbps (100Base-TX Fast Ethernet) and 2 Gbps (1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet).

The Gigabit PCI Express Network Card comes standard with crossover detection and auto correction capabilities that make installation and maintenance a snap.

The Wake-On-LAN feature allows you to power on your desktop PC from anywhere on the network.
