Lenovo IBM L CRD GE (FRU42T5114) Tarjeta de red PCIe Gigabit Ethernet de doble puerto

Many business desktops and workstations ship with a single Gigabit Ethernet port, which limits network redundancy, link aggregation, or separating traffic for virtual machines. The Lenovo IBM L CRD GE (FRU42T5114) adds two independent Gigabit Ethernet ports over a PCI Express x4 slot, using the proven Intel 82571EB controller. It fits full-height expansion slots in ThinkCentre, ThinkStation, and other PCIe-compatible systems, and supports low-profile brackets when needed.

Who is it for

IT administrators and power users who need to add reliable dual-port Gigabit connectivity to a server, workstation, or desktop. It is suitable for virtualized environments, network segmentation, or simply adding a spare port for failover.
