C23335 - HP NC6170 2-Port 1000Base-T Multifunction Ethernet Adapter

Description

The HP C23335, identified by its NC6170 model number, is a robust server adapter designed for environments that require high-speed and reliable network connectivity. It features a PCI-X interface, which was a prevalent standard for high-bandwidth expansion slots in servers of its era, offering superior performance over older PCI buses. This adapter is equipped with two ports that support both Fiber Channel and 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet standards, providing versatility for different networking needs. The dual-port design allows for redundancy or increased throughput, crucial for mission-critical server applications. The 1000Base-SX specification indicates Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber optic cables, enabling data transmission over significant distances with high speed and immunity to electromagnetic interference. The Fiber Channel capability positions this adapter for use in Storage Area Networks (SANs), where high-speed, low-latency access to storage devices is paramount. This adapter is an ideal choice for servers that need to connect to high-performance storage arrays or participate in complex network infrastructures. Its combination of Fiber Channel and Gigabit Ethernet support on a PCI-X bus makes it a versatile solution for upgrading or maintaining servers in environments that still rely on this robust interface technology, ensuring efficient data access and network communication.
