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.

Love the benefits of tallow! It’s all I use!
Scent: Lavender
I am a loyal Lotus customer having their face tallow cream on authorship. It’s all I use on my skin & for my teenage daughter. Surprised when I saw they had their bars on Amazon so I placed an order. They are wonderful tallow bars just like I’d expect from Lotus! Smooth, creamy & lather so beautifully! My skin felt so clean & moisturized after my bath. No nasty chemicals, all natural skincare! Definitely buy these bars! I don’t have any skin conditions or concerns I just would rather use natural high quality ingredients, but I can see if you have sensitive skin or any skin issues this would help! Thank you for making high quality skincare!

Worth the price!!
Scent: Unscented
I honestly love this soap. I have it in a pure cotton pouch and that helps with the lather. Yes, the bars are small, but these three have lasted me almost 5 months. For the ingredients in it, and how it makes your skin feel, it is worth the price. I’m running low so will be replenishing soon. Far better than your basic bar soap from the store!

Good Product
Scent: Unscented
Honestly one of the better bar soaps I’ve tried in a while. It’s priced a little higher than what you’d grab off a drugstore shelf, but you can tell pretty quickly that you’re getting something different it lasts longer, feels more substantial, and actually does something for your skin rather than just cleaning it. The lather is rich without feeling heavy, and after a few days of use you notice your skin staying softer without needing to reach for lotion right after. If you’re on the fence about upgrading your soap, this one’s worth trying.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’ve never loved a bar of soap so much.
Scent: Unscented
For starters, I suffer with severe sensitive skin, Eczema (which also has a huge gut health component) - however I’ve been struggling pretty bad the last few months. In my search to find more natural and nontoxic options, I stumbled upon castile soap - I’ve been using it to wash my dishes, clothes, skin. Finding out that the alkalinity of the soap can destroy sensitive skin barriers (even with diluting). I think it is been the leading cause of my skin dryness. (Despite lathering up with things like organic Shea butter and castor oil). I was getting very frustrated and very stressed and I found this family owned company. I’ve always wanted to try more tallow products, and know how amazing honey and castor oil is for health and rejuvenation (inside and out). I figured what the heck this is a pretty decent price. When I say I do not want to stop using the bar so I mean it like it is now becoming a struggle for me to get out of the shower because I want to keep blathering up because it feels so good. As a bartender and someone who hates having dirty hands - I really hate washing my hands, despite how much I feel obligated to do it. I’m contemplating bringing a bar of soap With me wherever I go so that I have good soap to use 😆. I’m about to buy some from my mom and try other products. I will update if my skin issues have subsided (in a month or so I reckon). I am getting an Eczema patch on my stomach/torso area, my inner thigh to my knee, and back of legs as well. As well as for the last month despite how much dry skin I take off my face, And how much castor oil I rub in - even with a moist appearing face - the flaky skin pokes through. I immediately felt soft skin upon using this product on my face. Normally, I would test out a small area, but with only a few ingredients I was like screw it. I ran out of soap and it’s either that or using watered down castile. Please give this a try. I cannot attest for the scented versions. Also, I saw someone say that it burned their eyes? Castile burns my eyes - this, does not. (And I probably scrub my eyes harder than I should post makeup remover - which is a balm - and just on the eyes).
