Intel A80897-007 1-Port 100Mb/s RJ45 PCIE Fast Ethernet Network Card

Product Description

The Intel A80897-007 is a Fast Ethernet network interface card (NIC) designed to provide reliable wired network connectivity at speeds up to 100 Megabits per second (Mb/s). This adapter features a single RJ45 port, making it compatible with standard Ethernet cables. It connects to the computer's motherboard via a PCI Express (PCIe) interface, which offers a significant improvement in bandwidth and performance over older PCI bus technologies, ensuring efficient data transfer between the network and the system. This network card is suitable for a wide range of applications, including desktop computers, workstations, and entry-level servers that require a dedicated network connection. The inclusion of both standard and low-profile brackets (often referred to as half-height) enhances its versatility, allowing it to be installed in various chassis types, from full-height towers to compact small form-factor PCs. The use of an Intel chipset signifies a commitment to quality, performance, and broad compatibility with operating systems and network environments. As a Fast Ethernet adapter, the A80897-007 is an economical and effective solution for tasks that do not require the higher speeds of Gigabit Ethernet, such as basic internet browsing, email, and standard office productivity applications. It provides a stable and dependable network connection, ensuring consistent access to local area networks (LANs) and the internet. Its straightforward functionality and reliable performance make it a solid choice for upgrading or replacing existing network adapters.
