- Is this card worth it over a single-port adapter?
- Only if you need two links. A single-port 1GbE card does the same job for one connection. The second port matters for failover, link aggregation, or splitting management and data traffic.
- Does it fit an HP Z4 G5?
- It is listed for the HP Z4 G5 and uses a PCI Express slot. Check that you have a free slot of the right size and that the workstation's power and airflow suit an add-in card.
- What speed does each port deliver?
- Each port is 1GbE, so up to 1 Gbps per port over standard RJ45 copper cabling. Two ports can run at once, but each is capped at 1 Gbps.
- Does it support link aggregation or failover?
- The hardware provides two independent ports; teaming, aggregation, and failover are configured in the operating system or driver. Support depends on your OS and driver version.
- What connections does it use?
- Standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, so ordinary Cat5e or Cat6 copper cables work. No fiber transceivers or special modules are needed.
- What is in the box?
- The adapter card itself. Cables, brackets, and drivers are not typically included; drivers come from HP support for your workstation model.
