How many Ethernet connections can this adapter provide per card?

This adapter is specified as a dual port 10/100-TX UTP network adapter and is listed in the dual-port 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 category. That means each card provides two separate Ethernet ports, allowing two individual network connections from a single PCI adapter installed in a system.

Which physical interface and cabling does the 242560-001 use?

The adapter is described as a 10/100-TX UTP network adapter and falls under the dual-port 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 category. This indicates it is designed for unshielded twisted pair cabling and uses RJ-45 connectors consistent with standard copper-based Ethernet networks and structured cabling systems.

What bus interface does the HPE Netelligent 242560-001 require?

The product is categorized as a PCI Ethernet adapter, indicating that it installs into a PCI expansion slot in a compatible server or workstation. Procurement and engineering teams should verify that target systems provide available PCI slots to accommodate this adapter during deployment planning.

How can I accurately identify this specific Netelligent adapter for ordering?

This network adapter is identified by the SKU 242560-001 and the model name Netelligent Dual Port 10/100-TX UTP Network Adapter. Using the full designation, including the SKU, helps distinguish it from other HPE adapters with different port counts, speeds, or interface types in procurement and asset records.
