With a PCIe interface, you can do more or less anything you want. Cervoz uses M.2 as a means of connecting a network card via a 2.5 GbE adapter in M.2 2230 format.
Cervoz offers a 2.5 GbE network card in M.2 2230 format!
Now that fiber is becoming more and more present in our homes, there’s a good chance that more and more network cards will be saturated, especially 1 GbE models for example. In order to improve the situation, the brand offers a 2.5 GbE mini Ethernet chip that can be installed in an unused M.2 slot on your motherboard. The advantage of this solution is that it takes up no space and does not obstruct a PCIe slot.
Once plugged in, all you have to do is plug in a small extension giving access to the RJ-45 connector, and you’re ready to go.
Alternatively, this module is available in M.2 2230 key A E, a connector generally used for mounting WiFi modules. Here, the MEC-LAN-2631i benefits from an Intel i226-IT network chip. Finally, we’d like to mention the wide temperature range supported, from -40°C to 85°C. Anyway, if you live in Yakutsk, this is not the solution you’ll choose for winter.
