IBM 22P6501 PRO/1000T 1 GbE PCI Network Adapter

The IBM 22P6501 PRO/1000T is a reliable Gigabit Ethernet desktop adapter that brings high-speed network capability to standard PCI-equipped desktop systems. Designed by Intel and branded under IBM/Lenovo, this adapter delivers 10/100/1000 Mbps connectivity through a single RJ‑45 copper port using a 32-bit PCI interface, offering seamless backward compatibility with legacy Ethernet infrastructure. It supports a range of network and management protocols—including TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, NetBEUI/NetBIOS, SNMP, and DMI 2.0—and adheres to IEEE standards such as 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3z, 802.3ab, 802.1Q, and 802.1p. Ideal for bandwidth-intensive tasks like streaming multimedia, engineering design, or simulation workloads, it also features Wake-on-LAN for remote power management. Compact and lightweight (about 121 × 21 × 121 mm, ~100 g), it presents a cost-effective upgrade for older systems needing gigabit performance.
