|
SMC's dual-channel EtherPower™ 10/100 PCI network card combines
the functionality of two separate Fast Ethernet cards, each
capable of dual-speed operation in half- or full-duplex mode,
with superior performance and exceptional ease of installation.
The card occupies only one slot in a PCI server, yet it provides
two independent channels, each supporting its own collision
domain. This enables you to segment your network and double its
bandwidth while saving a slot in your server. And, the price is
typically lower than that of two single-channel PCI cards.
Each channel can operate independently at either 10 or 100 Mbps,
so it's easy to future-proof your network. You can connect both
channels to a 10BASE-T hub or switch today. When you need to
migrate to Fast Ethernet for additional bandwidth, switch one
channel to a 100BASE-TX device. Or use both channels at the
faster data rate to create two Fast Ethernet segments.
This 32-bit card supports the Auto-Negotiation standard, so each
channel is automatically configured to run at the highest
possible operating mode (10/100 Mbps, half/full duplex). And, it
incorporates SimulTasking™ technology, SMC's unique pipelined
data transfer technique, with bus-master design and very low CPU
utilization for enhanced performance and improved network
efficiency.
The EtherPower 10/100 card comes with a full complement of
drivers for all popular network operating systems, a lifetime
warranty and the industry's best, free Technical Support. For
little more than the price of our 10 Mbps dual-channel PCI card,
the dual-channel EtherPower 10/100 gives you ten times the
performance!
