At a glance
This Fast Ethernet adapter delivers strong performance and high availability for your mission-critical applications. Redundant NIC feature minimizes downtime due to adapter, cable, or connector failures in server connections to the Ethernet network. Paired with a redundant adapter or with the 10/100 Ethernet connection on the motherboard of a PC Server, the adapter can detect a failure to the primary link and automatically switch to the secondary link, minimizing data loss and downtime.

Designed to be flexible, the Netfinity Adapter supports:

  • 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps
  • Half-duplex mode
  • Full-duplex mode
Auto-negotiation of speed and duplex mode facilitates the use of the adapter in shared or switched environments.
