Description
Add 802.11ax Wi-Fi connectivity to a computer or server through a PCI Express slot - with tri-band 6/5/2.4GHz frequencies
This Wi-Fi 6E Network Card enhances desktop capabilities, enabling high-speed low-latency wireless communication with reduced interference and less congestion in the 6GHz band, with speeds of up to 2400Mbps.
Tri-Band Wireless
The PCIe 3.0 Wi-Fi card is backwards compatible with 802.11b/a/g/n/ac standards on both the 5GHz (2400Mbps) and 2.4GHz (574Mbps) bands. It includes a low-profile bracket for small form-factor systems. The Wireless Network Adapter is supported on both Windows* and Linux operating systems.
Magnetized Antenna Base
The antenna base is magnetized and equipped with a 3.6ft attached cable, allowing for flexible antenna placement, optimizing signal reception and minimizing interference. In addition, the base of the antenna is covered in rubber to enhance grip when placed on level non-metallic surfaces.
Bluetooth Connectivity
This card features Bluetooth 5.3, enabling fast data transfers at 2Mbps, and offering an extended range, improved connection stability, and lower power consumption. To enable Bluetooth functionality, connect the 4-Pin IDC to 9-Pin USB Header (Bluetooth Cable - Included) to an available 9-Pin USB Header, located on the motherboard of the Host Computer.
Secure and Reliable
WPA3 offers secure encryption for Wi-Fi password safety. OFDMA and MU-MIMO features improve network performance, reducing latency and enhancing data transfer efficiency. The all-metal aluminum heatsink dissipates excessive heat to maintain optimal performance.
*Windows 10 does not support the 6Ghz band
