The Intel Ethernet Network Adapter I226-T4 is ideally suited for personal computers and workstations used in enterprise, gaming and home networks. Based on the Intel Ethernet Controller I226, this versatile networking solution supports 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps network speeds without the need to overhaul existing cabling infrastructure. These systems require more bandwidth than ever before. The I226-T4 is also designed with a ventilated bracket to enhance efficiency and reduce power consumption. Packed with performance optimisation capabilities, the I226-T4 includes advanced interrupt-handling features to reduce CPU overhead. Combining interrupt-handling features with intelligent filtering, ordering and directing packets to specific queues and cores enables load balancing of network traffic flows to improve throughput on multi-core platforms. Simplifying technology transitions through autonegotiation between port speeds provides maximum flexibility.
