TP-LINK - TX201 - 2.5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter

TX201 — TP-Link 2.5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter

The TP-Link TX201 is a 2.5 gigabit PCIe network adapter for desktop PCs and servers. It fits a PCI Express 2.1 x1 slot and adds one RJ45 port at up to 2.5Gbps.

What the TX201 is for

It is for a desktop PC, NAS host or server that needs a 2.5Gbps wired connection, either because it has no Ethernet port, the onboard port has failed, or you want a faster or second port.

To run at 2.5Gbps, connect it to a 2.5G port on one of our network switches. See all our Wi-Fi and network adapters.
