For PCs with PCI Express* (PCIe*) slots, the Intel® Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter offers the newest technology for maximising system performance and increasing end-user productivity. Specifically, the Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter uses auto-negotiation to ensure the adapter runs at the highest available network speed (10, 100, or 1000 Mbps), and maintains full bandwidth capacity with the dedicated bandwidth of a PCIe input/output (I/O) bus to provide connectivity you can count on.

Based on the low-power Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controller, this desktop adapter offers optimal performance in a low-cost, low-power, compact profile.

Teaming support and an array of other advanced features enable customers to use this adapter as an entry-level server adapter as well.
