HP 161106-001 2-Port 100Mb/s RJ45 Fast Ethernet Network Card

Product Description

The HP 161106-001 is a dual-port Fast Ethernet network interface card (NIC) designed to offer standard 100 Mbps network connectivity. Equipped with two RJ-45 ports, this card allows a single server or workstation to connect to two separate networks or to provide redundant network connections. It utilizes the PCI bus interface, making it compatible with a wide range of older computer systems that feature PCI expansion slots. Each port on this card operates at 100 Mbps, providing adequate bandwidth for general networking tasks such as file sharing, internet access, and communication within a local area network. While it does not support Gigabit speeds, it is a reliable solution for systems that require basic, high-speed Ethernet connectivity or for environments where Gigabit networking is not yet implemented or necessary. As an HP product, the 161106-001 is built to HP's standards for reliability and performance in business environments. Its dual-port configuration makes it particularly useful for specific server roles, such as network segmentation, load balancing, or providing dedicated network interfaces for different services, all within the constraints of older PCI-based hardware.
