100Mbps Performance for Ethernet LANs
SMC's EtherPower 10/100 adapter is a 100BASE-TX and
10BASE-T compliant device for PCI-bus computers that provides both
100 Mbps and 10 Mbps operation. With this dual-speed, bus-master
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
EtherPower 10/100 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
EtherPower 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 not much more than
the cost of our standard Ethernet adapter, the
EtherPower 10/100 gives you ten times the
performance
