Intel I350T4V2BLK 4x Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s Network Interface Card

Network performance can bottleneck your servers, causing delays and lost productivity. The Intel I350T4V2BLK 4x Gigabit Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s Network Interface Card is a low-profile PCI-Express card that adds four reliable 1 Gbps Ethernet ports, perfect for consolidating traffic in data-centres or high-density virtual environments. It delivers fast, stable connections while keeping power use low, helping you maintain smooth operations without extra hardware hassle.

Usages of a 1000 Mbit/s Network Adapter

Ideal for servers that host multiple virtual machines, storage arrays, or high-traffic web services, this card lets you split bandwidth across four RJ-45 ports, ensuring each workload gets the speed it needs throughout the day.

Benefits of Intel Network Adapter

• Low latency: iWARP RDMA reduces response times for critical applications.
• Power efficiency: Intel Ethernet Power Management cuts idle power consumption.
• Virtualisation ready: SR-IOV and VMDq offload work from the CPU, boosting VM performance.
• Fair bandwidth: Flexible Port Partitioning guarantees each virtual function a balanced share.
• Easy integration: PCI-Express 2.1 x4 slot fits standard low-profile servers.

Intel Network Adapter Overview

Choosing this Intel network adapter means you get enterprise-grade features without the complexity of multiple cards. The four 1000Base-T ports share a single PCIe lane, freeing up slots for other expansions while delivering full gigabit speeds on each connection. Its built-in power-saving technology reduces electricity costs, and the advanced virtualization support ensures smooth operation in crowded virtual environments.

Key Features of a 1000 Mbit/s Network Adapter
