D-Link DGE-560T Gigabit Desktop PCI Express Adapter

The D-Link DGE-560T Gigabit Desktop PCI Express Adapter is a high-performance networking solution designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern desktops and servers. Engineered for the PCI Express (PCIe) bus architecture, this adapter provides superior throughput, reduced latency, and greater reliability compared to legacy PCI network cards. With data transfer speeds of up to 2 Gbps (full-duplex) and support for advanced networking features, the DGE-560T is ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as multimedia streaming, large file transfers, and networked storage access.

Product Features

High-Speed PCI Express Interface

Utilizes the PCI Express x1 interface, offering enhanced performance over standard PCI cards by providing a dedicated point-to-point lane with increased bandwidth and reduced latency.

10/100/1000 Mbps Auto-Negotiation

Automatically detects and adjusts to the network speed of connected devices, supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) for seamless integration into high-speed networks.

VLAN and Priority Tagging

Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging for logical segmentation of networks and 802.1p priority tagging to enable traffic prioritization for better Quality of Service (QoS).

Advanced Task Offloading

Reduces CPU load by offloading tasks such as TCP, UDP, and IP checksum calculation and TCP segmentation, ensuring optimal system performance during heavy network usage.

Jumbo Frame Support

Handles jumbo frames up to 9,000 bytes, enhancing throughput and reducing CPU overhead in environments where large data packets are common.

Energy Efficient Ethernet

Compliant with IEEE 802.3az, the adapter lowers power consumption during periods of low data activity, contributing to overall system energy savings.

Remote Boot & Management

Supports Wake-on-LAN (WoL), PXE, and RPL for remote booting and management, making it ideal for enterprise and server environments.

Plug-and-Play Installation

Designed for ease of installation, with full plug-and-play support and auto-configuration, minimizing setup time.
