Your workstation can handle the workload. Your network card can't. The TX401 plugs into a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot and delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet — ten times your current 1G ceiling. It auto-negotiates down to 1G or 100M if the other end is slower, so you're never locked out of an existing network. The included 1.5 m Cat6A cable is rated for 10 Gbps; a regular Cat5e cable caps at 1 Gbps, so don't skip it. Full-height and low-profile brackets both in the box. Windows and Linux supported
