Product Description
The 3Com 02-0172-000 is a network interface card (NIC) designed to provide Fast Ethernet connectivity for desktop computers and servers. This adapter supports dual speeds, operating at both 10 Mbps (10Base-T) and 100 Mbps (100Base-TX), allowing it to connect to both older and newer Ethernet networks. The 'TX' in 100Base-TX specifies the use of Category 5 (or better) twisted-pair cabling, which is the standard for modern Ethernet networks. Featuring a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus interface, this card is designed for installation in the PCI slots found on most motherboards from the late 1990s through the 2000s. The PCI interface offers significantly higher bandwidth than older ISA buses, enabling the adapter to perform closer to its maximum rated speeds. The card includes a single RJ-45 port, the standard connector for Ethernet cables, and typically supports auto-negotiation, which allows the adapter to automatically detect the optimal speed and duplex mode (half or full) supported by the connected network device. This 3Com adapter provides a reliable and cost-effective way to add or upgrade network connectivity for workstations, file servers, or other network-attached devices. Its support for both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps ensures backward compatibility while offering the performance benefits of Fast Ethernet. Plug-and-play functionality simplifies installation, making it a straightforward component for system integrators and end-users alike.
