Product Description
The IBM 23L4173 is a legacy network interface card (NIC) that utilizes the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus for integration into compatible computer systems. This adapter provides a single RJ-45 port, enabling a connection to Ethernet networks operating at speeds of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Its design focuses on delivering stable and dependable network connectivity for workstations and servers that require a basic wired network interface. This adapter is particularly suited for older systems that may not have integrated networking capabilities or for upgrading existing network infrastructure with a cost-effective solution. The 10/100Base-TX standard ensures broad compatibility with most common network switches and routers. Installation is typically straightforward, often involving a simple plug-and-play process where the operating system automatically detects and configures the hardware, provided the appropriate drivers are available. Key features of the IBM 23L4173 include support for both half-duplex and full-duplex communication modes, which can significantly improve network throughput when connected to compatible network devices. The adapter's robust design aims to provide reliable data transmission, making it a suitable choice for general office networking tasks, file sharing, and internet access in environments where high-speed Gigabit Ethernet is not a requirement.
