The TP-Link TX301 adds wired network speeds up to 5 Gbps to a compatible desktop PC – up to 5× the link rate of standard Gigabit Ethernet. Its PCIe 3.1 x1 interface supports faster file transfers, smoother high-bandwidth streaming, responsive online gaming, and quicker access to NAS devices and home servers. Auto-negotiation supports 5G, 2.5G, 1G, 100M, and 10M connections, making it easy to work with both newer and legacy network equipment. QoS and AIFlow traffic prioritization help keep important applications running smoothly, while Wake-on-LAN supports convenient remote wake and management. Standard and low-profile brackets provide flexible installation across a wider range of desktop PC cases. Product Dimensions: 4.8 × 3.1 × 0.8 in (120.8 × 78.5 × 21.5 mm). What's in the Box: 5 Gigabit PCIe Network Adapter (TX301), standard and low-profile brackets, Quick Installation Guide, and 1.5 m Cat6A Ethernet cable. Legal Disclaimers ◇5 Gbps is a theoretical physical-link rate based on IEEE 802.3. Actual wired throughput varies with network conditions, Ethernet cable category, connected equipment, and computer performance. “Up to 5× faster” compares 5 Gbps with 1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet. *OS compatibility may change after system updates. Install the latest compatible adapter driver and verify current operating-system support at the download center on the TP-Link site.
