Network Expansion Cards

Our network expansion cards are built to add extra Ethernet ports, faster network speeds and specialist network interfaces to industrial computing platforms. We supply PCIe and expansion I/O network cards with Gigabit, multi-Gigabit and 10Gigabit options, including copper, fibre, SFP and PoE models for industrial networking, security, automation and high-throughput data applications.

If you need help choosing the right network card for your port count, speed or interface requirements, our team can guide you to the right solution.

That depends on how many separate devices or networks the system needs to connect to, both now and in future. Our range includes single-port, 2-port, 4-port and 8-port options, so it can make sense to allow some headroom if the system may need additional network connections later.

Gigabit Ethernet is often suitable for standard industrial networking, general communications and many automation tasks. A 10Gigabit card is more appropriate where the system needs to handle heavier data traffic, higher throughput or more demanding networked workloads, such as data-intensive processing, security applications or high-bandwidth industrial systems.

That depends on the cabling method and network environment. Copper is often the practical choice for many standard Ethernet connections, while fibre and SFP-based options can be better suited to longer distances, specific network architectures or installations where fibre infrastructure is already in place. Our range includes copper, fibre and SFP models to suit different networking requirements.

Yes. A network card can be supplied on its own or integrated into a wider industrial computer build, which can make compatibility and deployment easier where the full platform needs to be prepared around the application.
