Allied Telesis AT-2712LX20/SC-901 PCI Express Secure Fast Ethernet Fibre 100Mbps Adapter Card

Product Description

The Allied Telesis AT-2712LX20/SC-901 is a specialized network adapter designed for high-speed, secure data transmission over fiber optic infrastructure. Utilizing the PCI Express (PCIe) interface, this card offers enhanced bandwidth and lower latency compared to older bus architectures, ensuring efficient communication within a computer system. It operates at 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet) speeds, providing robust performance for network-intensive applications, particularly in environments where fiber optic connectivity is preferred or required. The card features fiber optic connectivity with an SC connector, which is a common and reliable type of connector for fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cabling offers several advantages over traditional copper Ethernet, including immunity to electromagnetic interference, longer transmission distances, and enhanced security due to the difficulty of tapping into fiber signals without detection. The 'Secure' designation in its title suggests potential hardware-level security features or optimizations for secure network environments. This adapter is well-suited for enterprise networks, data centers, or any environment that demands reliable, high-speed network connections over fiber. Its PCIe interface ensures compatibility with modern server and workstation hardware, while the 100 Mbps fiber optic connection provides a stable and secure link for critical data. The Allied Telesis AT-2712LX20/SC-901 represents a component for building or upgrading network infrastructure where the benefits of fiber optics are paramount.
