Intel C36650-003 2-Port 1Gb/s RJ-45 PCI-X GE 1000Base-T Network Card

Product Description

The Intel C36650-003 is a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet network adapter designed for servers and workstations that require high-speed, reliable wired network connectivity. This card features two 1 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) RJ-45 ports, allowing for simultaneous connections to two separate networks or providing redundancy and increased throughput. It supports the 1000Base-T standard, ensuring compatibility with standard Ethernet cabling (Category 5e or higher) and network infrastructure. This adapter utilizes the PCI-X (Peripheral Component Interconnect Extended) interface. PCI-X is an enhanced version of the PCI bus, offering significantly higher bandwidth than standard PCI, which is crucial for supporting the demands of dual Gigabit Ethernet ports without creating bottlenecks. This makes the C36650-003 particularly well-suited for server environments where network traffic can be substantial. Built with an Intel chipset, this network card is known for its reliability, performance, and broad compatibility with various server operating systems. The dual-port configuration provides flexibility for network segmentation, link aggregation (teaming), or simply doubling the available network connections from a single expansion slot. It is an effective solution for upgrading existing server infrastructure or equipping new systems with robust Gigabit Ethernet capabilities.
