The high performance DGE-562T PCI Express 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter offers increased bandwidth and connection reliability than standard PCI network cards. This adapter supports IEEE 802.3bz 2.5GBase-T standard and provides data rates of up to 5 Gbps in full-duplex mode.

The DGE-562T supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL), an Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) function, allowing a powered off computer to be powered on from a remote station. This function allows the administrator to send wake-up signals to a computer. The DGE-562T supports the onboard screening of 802.1Q VLAN Tagged Ethernet frames, allowing to create several subnets for each server and isolate devices within each VLAN from the other part of a network for security enhancement and traffic management. The DGE-562T also supports 802.1p Priority Encoding.

The DGE-562T supports power saving mode in your network. This adapter is compliant with IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet and reduces the power consumption when network utilization is low.
