PCI NIC, Single Port SFP 100Mb FX with VT6105 Controller

<p>Upgrade your network with the NICPCI-1SFP100FX, a high-performance 100Mbps managed PCI bus SFP port fibre NIC. Designed for reliability, this network interface card provides a stable fibre optic connection, perfect for overcoming the distance limitations of traditional copper cabling. It is an ideal solution for fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) and fibre-to-the-desktop (FTTD) applications, offering a direct replacement for networks using standard RJ-45 connections. The plug-and-play SFP port allows you to choose the appropriate SFP module to meet your specific distance requirements, supporting connections from 2km up to 110km.<br><br>Built on the reliable VIA VT6105M controller, this card ensures consistent performance and wide compatibility. It supports both full-duplex and half-duplex operations, reaching speeds of up to 200Mbps in full-duplex mode. Advanced features such as IEEE 802.3x Flow Control, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging, and PXE Boot Rom support make it a versatile choice for various networking environments. The card's design includes a 50Z heavy gold plate for superior heat dispersion and signal integrity, ensuring long-term stability and performance.<br><br>The NICPCI-1SFP100FX is designed for easy integration, supporting 32-bit PCI 2.2 buses and including both full-height and low-profile brackets to fit a range of computer chassis, from standard desktops to small form factor systems. It also features advanced management capabilities with DMI 2.0 and ACPI 1.0 support, along with broad OS compatibility, including various versions of Windows, Linux, and UNIX. This comprehensive feature set makes it a flexible and powerful solution for your fibre networking needs.</p><h3>FEATURES</h3><ul> <li>Based on the reliable VIA VT6105M controller</li> <li>100Mbps SFP port compatible with all 100M SFP modules</li> <li>Includes both full-height and low-profile brackets</li> <li>Supports PXE Boot Rom for network booting</li> <li>Compliant with IEEE 802.3u 100Base-FX and IEEE 802.3ah 100Base-LX10/-BX10 standards</li> <li>Full-duplex and half-duplex operation, with speeds up to 200Mbps in full-duplex</li> <li>Supports IEEE 802.3x Flow Control for enhanced operation with switches</li> <li>Supports IP Unicast, broadcast, and multicast address filtering</li> <li>IEEE 802.1p Tagging for prioritising sensitive data</li> <li>IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and GVRP VLAN registration protocol support</li> <li>TCP/IP CPU Task Offload reduces host CPU utilisation</li> <li>Advanced management with DMI 2.0 and ACPI 1.0 support</li></ul><h3>SPECIFICATIONS</h3><ul> <li><strong>Controller:</strong> VIA VT6105M</li> <li><strong>Bus Type:</strong> 32-bit PCI 2.2</li> <li><strong>Port:</strong> 1 x 100M SFP</li> <li><strong>Transmission Speed:</strong> 100Mbps (200Mbps in full-duplex)</li> <li><strong>Supported Standards:</strong> IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ah, IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.1p, IEEE 802.1Q</li> <li><strong>Power Consumption:</strong> 2W</li> <li><strong>Operating Temperature:</strong> 0°C - 50°C</li> <li><strong>Storage Temperature:</strong> 5°C - 55°C</li> <li><strong>Operating Humidity:</strong> 5% - 95% (non-condensing)</li> <li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 120mm x 53mm</li> <li><strong>LED Indicators:</strong> Link/Activity (Green), Colour Indication (Orange and Green)</li> <li><strong>OS Support:</strong> Windows XP/7/8/Vista/Server 2003/ME/95/98/NT/CE, DOS, various Linux distributions (Ubuntu, SuSE, Fedora, Red Hat), UNIX (Solaris, UnixWare), FreeBSD</li></ul><h3>WARRANTY</h3><p>1-Year Limited Warranty</p>
