Upgrade your workstation or server with a future‑ready, cost‑effective network adapter that leverages your existing Cat5e cabling. The StarTech NBASE‑T PCIe Network Adapter Card delivers high‑speed multi‑gigabit Ethernet (up to 5Gbps) across your network, enabling faster file transfers, smoother virtualization, and improved streaming without the expense and hassle of rewiring. This PCIe NIC is designed to drop right into a compatible PCIe slot, offering a powerful upgrade path for small businesses, IT pros, and power users who demand dependable performance and easy deployment.

  • 4‑speed NBASE‑T performance on one card: Experience faster network throughput with support for 1GBASE‑T, 2.5GBASE‑T, and 5GBASE‑T speeds, all delivered over standard Cat5e copper cabling. The adapter negotiates the best available speed with your switch or router, giving you scalable bandwidth as your network grows.
  • Flexible PCIe interface for wide compatibility: This NIC uses a PCIe x1 interface and is designed for easy installation in desktops, workstations, and compatible servers. Its low‑profile design fits a wide range of chassis sizes, and it remains backward compatible with many PCIe motherboards, ensuring seamless integration without motherboard upgrades.
  • Cost‑efficient upgrade with existing cabling: Tap into multi‑gigabit Ethernet without pulling new cables. By upgrading to 2.5G/5GBASE‑T over your existing Cat5e infrastructure, you unlock significantly faster internal transfers, backups, and networked applications while preserving your current cabling investment.
  • Designed for modern networks and interoperability: Fully compliant with 2.5GBASE‑T, 5GBASE‑T, and NBASE‑T (Draft IEEE 802.3bz), ensuring compatibility with contemporary switches, routers, and access points. This makes it a practical fit for home offices, small businesses, and multi‑device work areas that demand reliable multi‑gigabit connectivity.

How to install StarTech.com 5G PCIe Network Adapter Card

  • Power down your computer and unplug all connected cables to prevent static discharge and ensure safety during installation.
  • Open the computer case and locate an available PCIe x1 expansion slot. If you’re unsure, consult your motherboard manual for the exact slot location and any necessary precautions.
  • Insert the StarTech NBASE‑T PCIe network card firmly into the PCIe x1 slot until it seats completely. Secure the card with a mounting screw if your chassis requires it.
  • Connect an RJ‑45 network cable to the adapter’s port. If you’re upgrading a workstation to multi‑gigabit performance, connect to a switch or router that supports 2.5G/5GBASE‑T to realize higher speeds.
  • Boot the system and install the latest drivers from StarTech’s official website or through your operating system’s update utilities. After installation, reboot if prompted by the driver installer.
  • Open your operating system’s network settings and select the new interface. Confirm link speed negotiation, test connectivity, and verify that you are achieving the expected multi‑gigabit performance on transfers and network tasks.

The best cup presses I’ve ever purchased!!
Color: White
I am a seasoned cup maker and this is the best cup Press I’ve ever purchased. I cannot wait to buy more from HTVront. It is an automatic press, which means you press the button and it goes. On its automatic timer, it releases the cup and you don’t have to worry about over. You can still burn a cup if you don’t take it out in time so keep that in mind, but it is. I love the white appearance, and the performance is unmatched. What I really love about this press is that it is not loud with some of the other cup presses I’ve used when the timer goes off. It is a very annoying beep. This one beeps one time and automatically releases your cup. Sure, of course there is a smell with any sublimation that just happens, but it isn’t really that noticeable. I got a coupon, but I’m not affiliated or get paid for. So if you need a new cut, I suggest waiting till there’s a coupon for this. Just save a little bit of extra money, but you will not regret this purchase I promise.

Perfect for your Sublimation Needs
Color: BCMY
If you're into sublimation printing—whether as a hobby or a small business—the Hiipoo Sublimation Ink Refill Bottles are a must-have. This ink performs exceptionally well with a variety of Epson inkjet printers (like the WF-7710, ET-2760, ET-2720, ET-15000, C88, C88+, etc.) and delivers consistently vibrant, professional-looking results across different substrates. The color vibrancy is outstanding. Blacks are deep and rich, and the cyan, magenta, and yellow are true-to-shade. The ink produces clean, detailed images on all kinds of sublimation blanks—from mugs and T-shirts to mousepads and phone cases. Whether you’re pressing on polyester fabrics or coated surfaces, the prints come out sharp and vivid. The bottles are designed for easy refilling, especially with EcoTank models—they fit well and fill smoothly with little to no mess. For other compatible Epson models like the WF series, the process takes a bit more care, but it’s still user-friendly. This ink has worked flawlessly with heat press transfers on a variety of materials. Once heat-pressed, the colors stay strong—no bleeding, fading, or smudging.The sublimation transfers hold up very well over time. After several washes (for shirts and fabric items), the prints remain intact and bright. It’s also a plus that the ink doesn’t clog the print heads if used regularly and maintained properly. Hiipoo Sublimation Ink is a top-tier choice for both beginners and experienced crafters. It’s affordable, reliable, and produces beautiful results across a wide range of sublimation projects. Whether you’re customizing T-shirts, mugs, or phone cases, this ink brings your designs to life. Rating: 5/5 – Excellent performance, vibrant colors, and professional results. Highly recommended.

Good ink
Color: BCMY
I like this ink, it has never failed me. You do have to be careful when using it or it will make a mess. It is hard to remember which needle was used for the color, the second time they are used. Washing them out still leave a small amount of color but not so much that it will change the color.
