Cervoz’s New 2.5GbE M.2 2230 Ethernet Card: A Game Changer
As the demand for high-bandwidth applications like 4K streaming and IoT continues to grow, traditional gigabit networks are struggling to keep up. Cervoz, a leader in industrial-grade storage, memory, and expansion cards, has introduced a new solution: the 2.5GbE M.2 2230 (A E Key) PCIe Ethernet card. This compact yet powerful card delivers speeds up to 2.5 times faster than standard gigabit networks, offering seamless connectivity and reduced latency.
Benefits of 2.5GbE Technology
Choosing 2.5 gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE) offers a balance of speed and cost-effectiveness. This technology provides speeds up to 2.5 times faster than traditional networks, making it ideal for tasks such as 4K streaming and large-scale data transfers. One of the significant advantages of 2.5GbE is its backward compatibility with existing infrastructure, such as Cat5e cabling. While upgrading to 10 gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) is becoming popular, it requires investment in new hardware. Therefore, 2.5GbE presents a cost-effective solution that boosts network performance using existing setups.
Compact Design and Seamless Upgrade
The new 2.5GbE M.2 2230 Ethernet card, also available in M.2 2280 (B M keys) versions, enhances connectivity in space-constrained settings like embedded systems, mini PCs, and mini servers. Its compact design fits easily into tight spaces, providing flexible and robust connectivity without sacrificing performance. Additionally, its A E key configuration utilizes slots typically reserved for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which are often unused, optimizing system capabilities seamlessly.
Enhanced Robustness and Versatility
Heat is a common challenge in space-constrained and high-performance devices. Cervoz’s 2.5GbE M.2 Ethernet expansion solutions perform reliably under harsh conditions, featuring a wide operation temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and surge protection up to 2KV to ensure network integrity. Moreover, Cervoz’s innovative MecFix mounting mechanism simplifies installation and enhances compatibility by allowing flexible connections to the daughterboard of modular expansion cards. This technology supports integration with both standard and low-profile PCI/PCIe brackets or internal PC mounting, ensuring a perfect fit for your needs.
