Basler 2.5GigE Interface Card, 4-CH PoE+#
Info
- On Windows, to operate this interface card, you must either install a compatible driver from the Microsoft Driver Store (recommended) or use the correct Intel driver for the Intel I226 Ethernet controller. You can download the driver from the product page of the 2.5GigE Interface Card, 4 Port PoE+, under Specifications / Software. Alternatively, you can also download the latest driver from the Intel website.
- On Linux, the interface card is usually natively supported by the Linux kernel (for example via the igc driver).
Key Features#
- GigE Vision-certified
- Power over Ethernet+ (PoE+), up to 30 W per port (90 W total for all four ports)
- PoE on/off control via hardware switch
- IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
- Autonegotiation (2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, 10 Mbps)
- Automatically detected by pylon through shared MAC address range

Environmental Requirements#
The Basler GigE Interface Cards are specified for indoor use only.
| Housing Temperature During Operation | 0–55 °C (32–131 °F) |
| Housing Temperature During Storage | -40–70 °C (-40–158 °F) |
| Humidity During Storage | Maximum 90 % relative humidity, non-condensing (specified at 35 °C) |
Allow sufficient air circulation to keep the temperature during operation within the specified range. Additional cooling devices are not normally required, but should be provided if necessary.
