D-Link DGE-560T – PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with PCIe x1, 2Gbps Full-Duplex, Jumbo Frame, VLAN, Wake-on-LAN & Energy Efficient Ethernet
Overview:
• The D-Link DGE-560T is a PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Adapter designed to add high-performance wired Gigabit network connectivity to desktop PCs, workstations, and compatible servers.
• It uses PCI Express bus architecture to provide increased bandwidth, reliability, and functionality compared to standard PCI network cards.
• The adapter supports Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with full-duplex operation up to 2000Mbps, helping eliminate bottlenecks found in older 32-bit and 64-bit PCI architectures.
• PCI Express x1 installation makes it suitable for modern motherboards with available PCIe slots.
• Advanced enterprise features include 802.1Q VLAN Tagging, 802.1p Priority Encoding, 802.3x Flow Control, Jumbo Frame support up to 9KB, and SNMP statistics for network management.
• The DGE-560T supports TCP, UDP, and IP checksum offload, plus segmentation and task-offload features to improve system performance by reducing CPU load.
• Wake-on-LAN and remote boot support using PXE/RPL allow administrators to power up or boot PCs remotely across the network.
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet helps reduce power consumption when network traffic is low.
• The card includes Link/Activity and 1000M diagnostic LEDs for quick network status monitoring.
