Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter EXPI9301CTBLK
Legacy PCIe single-port Gigabit Ethernet retail adapter. Confirm exact product label and revision before applying specifications.
IDENTIFICATION: Confirm manufacturer PID, hardware revision, device ID or module suffix. Nominal standards/link rates are not measurements of payload performance.
Exact specifications and compatibility
| Dedicated subcategory | Ethernet adapters |
|---|---|
| Exact product/model | Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter EXPI9301CTBLK |
| Bus, ports and physical interface | PCI Express x1; one RJ-45 10/100/1000BASE-T port. |
| PHY, radio or protocol | Intel 82574L controller; IEEE 802.3 Ethernet and auto-negotiation. |
| Nominal rate (not measured) | Up to 1Gb/s nominal full-duplex link; benchmark results are not supplied. |
| Measured throughput | No measured benchmark is claimed for a physical specimen. A valid result must record host/peer, link partner, media/cable, driver/firmware, traffic pattern, test tool and duration. |
| Drivers, OS and firmware | Legacy Intel Windows packages and in-kernel Linux e1000 driver support depend on OS/kernel release; check current support and signed driver availability. |
| Compatibility | Requires PCIe x1 and an RJ-45 peer; Gigabit requires four-pair Cat 5e-or-better cabling and compatible switch negotiation. |
| Variant warning | EXPI9301CTBLK is not the PCI-X server EXPI9400PT or the later CT desktop adapter; OEM and retail board revisions may differ. Verify label and device ID. |
