SMC Etherpower II 10/100 Dual-Channel

SMC Etherpower II 10/100 Dual-Channel ... operation in half- or full-duplex mode, with superior performance and exceptional ease of installation.The card occupies only one slot in a PCI server, yet it provides two independent channels, each supporting its own collision domain. This enables you to segment your network and double its bandwidth while saving a slot in your server. And, the price is typically lower than that of two single-channel PCI cards.

Each channel can operate independently at either 10 or 100 Mbps, so it's easy to future-proof your network. You can connect both channels to a 10BASE-T hub or switch today. When you need to migrate to Fast Ethernet for additional bandwidth, switch one channel to a 100BASE-TX device. Or use both channels at the faster data rate to create two Fast Ethernet segments.
This 32-bit card supports the Auto-Negotiation standard, so each channel is automatically configured to run at the highest possible operating mode (10/100 Mbps, half/full duplex). And, it incorporates SimulTasking technology, SMC's unique pipelined data transfer technique, with bus-master design and very low CPU utilization for enhanced performance and improved network efficiency. The EtherPower 10/100 card comes with a full complement of drivers for all popular network operating systems, a lifetime warranty and the industry's best, free Technical Support. For little more than the price of our 10 Mbps dual-channel PCI card, the dual-channel EtherPower 10/100 gives you ten times the performance!
