Product Description
The 3Com 3C996-SX is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet network adapter designed to deliver 1 Gb/s network speeds over standard copper cabling. Featuring a single RJ-45 port, this card supports the 1000Base-T standard, making it compatible with existing Ethernet infrastructure while providing a significant upgrade in bandwidth. The integration of a PCI-X interface ensures that the card can communicate efficiently with the host system's bus, which is crucial for server applications that demand high throughput and low latency. This network card is particularly well-suited for server environments where network performance is critical. Whether used in file servers, application servers, or web servers, the 1 Gb/s speed significantly enhances data transfer rates, reduces network congestion, and improves overall application responsiveness. The PCI-X interface, being an evolution of PCI, offers higher bandwidth capabilities, making it an ideal choice for demanding server workloads that can saturate older PCI bus speeds. The 3C996-SX represents a reliable and robust solution for network upgrades. Its 1000Base-T compatibility ensures ease of deployment with existing Cat5e or Cat6 cabling, while its performance characteristics make it a valuable asset for businesses seeking to optimize their network infrastructure for speed and efficiency.
