HP A3495-60201 1-Port 100Mb/s RJ45 Fast Ethernet Network Card

Product Description

The HP A3495-60201 is a network interface card (NIC) that offers single-port 100Mb/s Fast Ethernet connectivity. It utilizes the standard RJ45 connector for network cable attachment and interfaces with the host computer through a PCI slot. This makes it compatible with older desktop computers and servers that were manufactured during the era when PCI was the prevalent expansion bus technology, typically from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s. This network card is designed for basic network connectivity needs. It supports speeds of 10Mbps and 100Mbps, adhering to the 100Base-TX standard. It is an ideal solution for systems that require network access for tasks such as internet browsing, file sharing on a local network, or connecting to management interfaces where high bandwidth is not necessary. The card provides a reliable way to add or replace network functionality on systems lacking integrated Ethernet ports or when an additional port is required. As a legacy component, the A3495-60201 is best suited for older hardware or specific applications where 100Mbps is sufficient. Its simple plug-and-play functionality (once drivers are installed) and widespread compatibility with older operating systems make it a practical choice for maintaining the network capabilities of legacy systems. It represents a straightforward and cost-effective method for ensuring basic network communication.
