Maximize Performance the Smart and Secure Way
Fiber-optic cabling is idea for networks in areas with significant electrical interference or where security is a high priority. This fiber NIC extends that advantage with increased network performance and manageability using patented 3Com® Parallel Tasking® II performance, Flow Control, and Managed PC capabilities.
Fiber cabling resists signal degradation, interference, and snooping
Standards compliant, including PC99, WfM, ACPI, and DMI
Parallel Tasking II performance accelerates PCI-bus throughput
Flow Control reduces re-transmissions in switched networks
KeepAlive packets diminish IP address-aging problems
Heartbeat Alert monitors for physical removal or power failure
Other pre-OS and boot features are available; see Options
