Broadcom BCM94212 56k V.92 1 x Port RJ-45 Internal PCI Modem Card

Product Description

The Broadcom BCM94212 is an internal PCI modem card that provides 56K V.92 data and fax capabilities. This card is designed for installation within desktop computers, utilizing the PCI bus for connectivity. It supports the V.92 standard, which offers improvements over V.90, including faster upload speeds and features like modem-on-hold and quick connect. The modem is equipped with a single RJ-45 port, which is unusual for a traditional modem and might indicate a specific application or interface requirement, though it likely connects to a standard phone line via an adapter or internal wiring. This modem card supports V.44 data compression, which enhances throughput efficiency, and includes error correction mechanisms to ensure reliable data transmission over analog telephone lines. The combination of V.92 and V.44 protocols allows for optimized performance in terms of both speed and connection stability for dial-up internet access and faxing. As an internal PCI card, the BCM94212 is intended for users who want a permanently installed modem solution within their desktop system. It offers a compact and integrated way to add communication capabilities, suitable for environments where broadband internet is not available or for specific legacy applications. The Broadcom chipset is known for its performance and reliability in networking hardware.
