TRENDnet TEG-25GECTX — 2.5GBASE-T PCIe Network Adapter
2.5GbE RJ45PCIe x1Both brackets includedWindows & Windows Server
The TRENDnet TEG-25GECTX is a single-port 2.5GBASE-T PCIe network adapter that upgrades a desktop PC or server to 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet over existing Cat5e or better cabling, using a PCIe x1 slot.
It auto-negotiates 2.5G, 1G, 100M and 10M, ships with both standard and low-profile brackets, and supports VLAN tagging, jumbo frames and Wake-on-LAN.
Before you order: TRENDnet lists Windows 11/10/8.1 and Windows Server 2022/2019/2016/2012 drivers. Linux and macOS are not on TRENDnet's support list.
What's in the Box
- 1x TRENDnet TEG-25GECTX 2.5GBASE-T PCIe adapter
- Standard (full-height) bracket and low-profile bracket
- CD-ROM with drivers
- No network cable included
What It Means in Practice
- Around 2.5x Gigabit speed to a 2.5GbE NAS, switch or router, without replacing Cat5e cabling.
- The low-profile bracket in the box lets it go into slim SFF desktops as well as towers.
- Only a PCIe x1 slot is needed, leaving larger slots for graphics or storage cards.
- On an ordinary Gigabit switch it runs at 1 Gb/s, so it can be fitted ahead of a switch upgrade.
What Will Not Work
- It will not run 5GbE or 10GbE — 2.5 Gb/s is the maximum.
- It will not reach 2.5 Gb/s if the switch or router port is 1GbE only.
- Linux and macOS are not in TRENDnet's supported OS list.
- It has no SFP cage for fibre.

Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
The TEG-25GECTX is a practical 2.5GbE upgrade for Windows desktops and servers: both brackets in the box, an x1 slot and no rewiring. Check the other end supports 2.5GbE, or add one of our 2.5GbE switches to get the full speed.
✓ Buy it if you run Windows or Windows Server and want 2.5GbE to a NAS or multi-gig switch.
✕ Skip it if you run Linux or macOS, or you need 10GbE.
→ Also consider the Intel I226-T1 adapter for broader OS support, or a USB 2.5GbE adapter for laptops.
