  Move your heaviest server and workstation traffic at Gigabit speed, eliminating bottlenecks and delivering 10/100 throughput reliably to desktop PCs and other network devices. The Intel® PRO/1000 F Server Adapter is ideal for fiber optic cabling runs of up to 275 meters between server and switch, as well as in "noisy" environments such as magnetic fields that could degrade performance. Based on existing Ethernet technology, this adapter features Intel's industry-leading Gigabit controller and optimized server bus architecture for greater performance and reliability. Industry-leading performance The Intel PRO/1000 F Server Adapter offers 64-bit/66MHz server bus speeds to optimize the performance of your server's PCI slot. This adapter features the next-generation Intel® 82543GC Gigabit Controller which eliminates bottlenecks with industry-leading Gigabit performance. Fiber connections for greater distances and noise reduction The 1000BASE-SX connector allows for fiber runs of up to 275 meters, providing greater flexibility in the placement of network servers and switches. Fiber optic connections also provide noise reduction to preserve the clarity and integrity of data traffic. Maximize server uptime The Intel PRO/1000 F Server Adapter offers the redundant protection of Adapter Fault Tolerance, should one of the links to the server fail. Also offers support for PCI Hot Plug and Active PCI for easier serviceability. Standards-based engineering ensures broad compatibility, reduces network complexity Based on IEEE 802.3ab specifications, the Intel PRO/1000 F Server Adapter is fully interoperable with other standards-based LAN devices, enabling you to select and easily deploy the best-of-class products that meet your networking needs. Supports all major network operating systems — see NOS Compatability Chart for details.
