100Mbps Performanc for Ethernet LANs
SMC's Ether 10/100 adapter is a 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T
compliant device for EISA-bus computers that provides both 100
Mbps and 10 Mbps operation. With this dual-speed adapter, you can
future-proof your network. Set it for 10 Mbps and it will operate with
all 10BASE-T devices. When you need the additional bandwidth, simply
set it to 100 Mbps. At the faster speed, the Ether 10/1 00 provides
the performance necessary for today's distributed applications -
applications requiring bandwidth in excess of 10 Mbps with bursts
approaching 100 Mbps. Ideal for both servers and high-performance
workstations, this adapter also provides improved response times for
all other network users.
In addition to an RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Mbps software-
selectable operation on unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable, the
Ether 10/100 features a DB-9 connector for 100 Mbps operation on
shielded twisted-pair (STP) cable. This unique cabling option allows
Token Ring customers to upgrade to Fast Ethernet by simply changing
adapters and hubs, while leaving their cabling plant intact.
It comes with a full complement of drivers for most popular network
operating systems, as well as SMC's EZStart" utility, which takes the
work out of driver installation. And, with a free
SNMP agent, lifetime warranty and the industry's
best, free Technical Support, you can be sure
you're getting the highest possible product
reliability and value. For the same cost as our
10 Mbps EISA adapter, the Ether 10/100 gives
you ten times the performance!
