C41300 - Intel 82546EB/82546GB PRO/1000MF SX Fiber Dual Port PCI-x Server Adapter

Description

The Intel C41300, also known as the PRO/1000MF SX Fiber Dual Port adapter, is a high-performance network interface card designed for server environments requiring reliable fiber optic connectivity. Equipped with Intel's robust 82546EB/82546GB controllers, this adapter provides two Gigabit Ethernet ports that utilize Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, specifically supporting SX (Short Wavelength) fiber optics. This configuration is ideal for short-to-medium range fiber connections within data centers or campus networks. The adapter connects to the server via a standard PCI bus interface, ensuring broad compatibility with older and some newer server systems. The dual-port design offers flexibility for network redundancy, link aggregation, or connecting to separate network segments. The use of fiber optics provides immunity to electromagnetic interference and allows for longer transmission distances compared to copper cabling, making it a preferred choice for critical network infrastructure. This Intel network adapter is well-suited for demanding applications such as server-to-server communication, network backbone connections, and environments where high availability and data integrity are paramount. Its proven Intel controllers are known for their stability, performance, and efficient handling of network traffic, making the C41300 a dependable solution for upgrading or building out network capabilities.
