Síťová karta Microconnect MC-DR8169 interní Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s

The Microconnect MC-DR8169 Internal Ethernet 1000 Mbit/s is a wired network card designed to add or upgrade Gigabit LAN connectivity in desktop systems with a PCI slot. It supports up to 1000 Mbit/s data transfers over a standard Ethernet connection and is intended for stable, low-latency wired networking in environments that demand consistent throughput for gaming, streaming, and file transfer tasks.

Advantages

This network card offers a straightforward PCI installation and delivers Gigabit speeds for improved local network and internet performance compared with older Fast Ethernet adapters. Its wired connectivity reduces interference and latency compared with wireless options, providing reliable packet delivery for real-time applications. The compact, low-weight design simplifies fitting into typical desktop chassis without requiring additional cooling or power connections.

Suitable for

• Upgrading a desktop PC to Gigabit Ethernet for faster LAN file transfers
• Stable wired connections for online gaming and low-latency communication
• Streaming high-definition video from local or network sources
• Office workstations requiring reliable network access for cloud services and backups

Key specifications

• Connectivity technology: Wired Ethernet
• Host interface: PCI slot
• Maximum data transfer rate: 1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Physical weight: 0.088 kg

How to use

Power off the computer and open the case according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Locate an available PCI slot, remove the corresponding slot cover on the chassis, and insert the card firmly into the PCI connector until it is seated. Secure the card with the chassis screw, close the case, and reconnect power. After booting, install any required drivers provided by the operating system or the card vendor to ensure full Gigabit functionality and optimal performance. Connect a Category 5e or higher Ethernet cable to the card’s RJ45 port and to the network switch or router.

Recommendations

For best results, use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and ensure the connected network equipment (switch, router) supports Gigabit speeds. Keep device drivers up to date and place the PC in a location with adequate airflow; the card itself does not require additional power connectors. In mixed-network environments, verify duplex and speed settings if interoperability issues occur.
