HP A3495-60101 1-Port 100Mb/s RJ45 Fast Ethernet Network Card

Product Description

The HP A3495-60101 is a Fast Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) that provides a single 100Mb/s port with an RJ45 connector. This card is engineered to deliver reliable and efficient network connectivity for compatible HP workstations and servers. Its design focuses on straightforward integration and stable performance, making it suitable for standard office networking environments where high-speed Gigabit Ethernet is not a requirement. The card adheres to the Fast Ethernet standard, offering data transfer rates of up to 100 Mbps, which is sufficient for many common network tasks such as file sharing, printing, and basic internet access. The inclusion of an RJ45 connector ensures compatibility with widely available Ethernet cabling (Cat5 or higher). Installation is typically straightforward, often involving a simple plug-and-play process within the host system's PCI slot. This network card is a component designed to enhance or provide network capabilities to systems that may lack integrated networking or require an additional network interface. Its primary function is to bridge the gap between a computer's internal bus and the external network infrastructure, facilitating communication with other devices on the local area network (LAN) and the wider internet. The A3495-60101 represents a cost-effective solution for network connectivity needs within its specified performance parameters.
