[ MODEL-SPECIFIC NETWORK HARDWARE RECORD ]
QNAP QXG-5G1T-111C 5GbE Network Expansion Card
Single-port 5GBASE-T PCIe adapter using a Marvell AQtion controller. Specifications are tied to this named product; confirm the physical label, revision and source documentation.
IDENTIFICATION: Verify exact PID/model, revision, label and host support. The catalog separates nominal PHY/link specifications from measured throughput; no benchmark is asserted unless explicitly recorded.
Model-specific specifications and compatibility
| Subcategory | Ethernet adapters |
|---|---|
| Exact product/model | QNAP QXG-5G1T-111C 5GbE Network Expansion Card |
| Bus, ports and physical interface | PCI Express Gen 3.0 x1; one 8P8C/RJ-45 port; low-profile bracket installed and full-height plus QNAP NAS brackets included. |
| PHY, radio or optical interface | Marvell AQtion AQC111C; NBASE-T 5GBASE-T, 2.5GBASE-T, 1000BASE-T and 100BASE-TX auto-negotiation. |
| Nominal rate (not measured) | One port: 100 Mb/s, 1, 2.5 or 5 Gb/s nominal negotiated link rates. QNAP specifies Cat 5e or better for 5GbE; no one-flow payload rate is inferred. |
| Measured throughput | No specimen benchmark is claimed. Record cable category/length, peer, negotiated rate, OS, driver, MTU, test tool and duration for measured results. |
| Driver, OS and firmware | QNAP documents Windows and Linux with the appropriate driver plus QTS/QuTS hero compatibility for listed NAS models. On Linux, driver availability depends on kernel/distribution; confirm VID:PID and QNAP driver package before deployment. |
| Platform/media compatibility | Requires PCIe slot with x1 lane, a supported OS/NAS and 5G-capable link partner; link falls back to a shared lower rate. Low-profile card shape and brackets do not guarantee a NAS chassis whitelist. |
| Variant warning | Exact model QXG-5G1T-111C uses AQC111C; do not assume another QXG 5G card has the same controller, bracket or OS support. Confirm hardware label, PCB, controller and included bracket set. |

Archival, ESD and preservation notes
Log card serial/MAC, controller marking, bracket and driver build. Disconnect power and handle by edges; protect PCIe fingers and RJ-45 contacts from contamination and store in antistatic shielding.
Retain source provenance and the revision/date of each supporting document. Store public records without credentials, personal information or other secrets.
