The D-Link DGE-528T is a high-performance 10/100/1000Mbps copper Gigabit PCI card for 
desktop PC. Installable in a PC equipped with PCI expansion slots, this card turns a desktop 
computer into a high-bandwidth Gigabit workstation or a server running at 2000Mbps full-
duplex speed. 

Capable of running at full-duplex Gigabit speed, this card gives your PC 2000Mbps data 
transmission on your existing Cat. 5 twisted-pair network cable. As an inexpensive 
alternative solution to fiber-optic, the card allows you to instantly upgrade to Gigabit without 
requiring you to install new, expensive fiber cables. The card supports 10/100/1000Mbps 
network speed auto-sensing and full/half duplex auto-negotiation. 

The card provides on-board screening of VLANs Tagged Ethernet frames, allowing your PC to 
be configured with a VLAN-supported switch. Your PC can be part of a VLAN network, where 
domains are segmented up to enhance performance and security. 

Wake-On-LAN (WOL) is an Advanced Configuration Power Interface (ACPI) function allowing 
a powered OFF computer to be powered ON from a remote station. This function allows the 
administrator to send wake-up signals to a computer. The WOL function provides a great 
utility for power management of the PC and allows users to initiate action at irregular times 
and from distant locations. 

The card's embedded flow control and independent FIFO provide a means to protect against 
possible data loss during transmission on the network. When connected to a Gigabit switch 
supporting flow control, the card receives signals from the switch regarding buffer overrun
