My mini motherboard has only one PCIE slot which is already occupied. I wanted to upgrade network interface on it to 2.5Gbit/s and later to 5Gbit/s ethernet.
I used M.2 A+E key format 2.5Gbit ethernet card (Realtek RTL8125B based):

Also 5Gbit variant (Realtek RTL8126A based):

This is bracket for it. (Sadly, there are no 10Gbit cards available for the M.2 A+E key. Such cards would be useful, even if they couldn't achieve the full 10Gbit speed)
Printed from PETG with organic supports.
Two variants (the cable was very short, so had to use top variant).
