QNAP Offers Single-port 2.5 GbE PCIe Card for NAS and PC
QNAP today launched the QXG-2G1T-I225 PCIe network card. Providing single-port 2.5GBASE-T connectivity that supports 2.5G, 1G, 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps network speeds, the QXG-2G1T-I225 is a PCIe 2.0 x1 card that can be installed in a QNAP NAS or a Windows /Linux PC.
Existing CAT 5e cables can be used with the QXG-2G1T-I225 to provide an immediate upgrade to 2.5 GbE networking. The QXG-2G1T-I225 also supports Windows Server 2019 and provides efficient server management with support for Intel Teaming (Link aggregation), PXE, Intel AMT, Wake on LAN, and VLAN.
"The QXG-2G1T-I225 represents QNAP's commitment to providing affordable 2.5 GbE solutions. By using existing CAT 5e cables, users can immediately benefit from 2.5 GbE by pairing their QXG-2G1T-I225 with a 2.5 GbE switch and NAS." said Stanley Huang, Product Manager of QNAP, adding "2.5 GbE provides immediate benefits to both home and business users across a wide range of applications - including gaming, multimedia, virtualization, backup, and general everyday usage. QNAP's 2.5 GbE solutions represent the easiest and most wallet-friendly way to adopt high-speed networking."
QNAP is committed to providing users with the ability to upgrade their networks to meet modern high-speed demands. In the near future, QNAP will launch additional 2.5 GbE network cards including the dual-port QXG-2G2T-I225 (PCIe Gen 2.0 x2) card and the quad-port QXG-2G4T-I225 (PCIe Gen 2.0 x4) card.

I mean it's just 2.5 times faster than standard 1G LAN, which basically in any modern device. Why would someone find 1G not enough and look into 2.5G?
Wouldn't 10G be a better solution?
I see this more useful as a server card. Take into consideration a typical office 10G network: typically, there's only 1 or 2 ports on a switch with 10G support. The rest are 1G. This is because the bandwidth of that one host port can be easily split among all of the other ports without any of them losing bandwidth when talking to the server.
So, think of 2.5G being the same, except maybe for an 8-port switch or smaller.
Also, 2.5G is pretty much the fastest you can get using relatively crappy/cheap wiring. So, you could go faster, but that's probably going to cost you.

they could've reduced the range of 10gbe links for cheaper hardware for home use instead of making these annoying stopgap substandards, I can't think of any use for a 100m run in my house, the longest run of anything I have is a 7m HDMI cable going to a proyector and a 10m run across rooms and out to the roof for a camera, 20m at 10gbe would be plenty, heck we already had hdmi 18gbps doing 15m for years now

They are late.
And expensive.
These TP-Link cards cost under $20, and work just fine !
( I have a couple of them already)
