D-Link PCI 1000MBPS FIBER SX ADAPTER
Item#: DGE-550SX
 |
|
MODEL- DGE-550SX VENDOR- D-LINK
FEATURES- High-Bandwidth Fiber Gigabit Network Adapter
32-Bit PCI 1000 Mbps SC Gigabit LAN Adapter.
The DGE-550SX Fiber Gigabit adapter is a high-bandwidth network
adapter, providing up to 2000Mbps full-duplex bandwidth capacity to
support high-end servers. This adapter delivers added performance
to the network while working with the existing LAN infrastructure.
In addition, with advanced functions like VLAN filtering and
hardware-based Chip-Level IP (CLIP) packet processing, the adapter
provides added performance, flexible configuration and secure
networking to users in a standards-based environment.
Delivering network speed up to 2000Mbps (full-duplex), the adapter
brings ample bandwidth to servers. On-board verification of IP
headers and TCP/UDP checksums for received data through built-in
Chip-Level Internet Protocol (CLIP) offloads the server's overheads,
making more of the server processing power available for the
applications. This adapter uses the patented Jato Technology
Propulsion algorithms to achieve dramatic increases in system
throughput.
This adapter operates in 32-bit 33Mhz/64-bit 66MHz PCI slots. It
auto-configures according to the different data path widths, while
maintaining compatibility with various server configurations.
The adapter provides on-board screening of VLAN tagged Ethernet
frames compliant with IEEE 802.3. This allows the server to operate
in a flexible and secure network configuration in a standards-based
environment.
D-Link provides complete 1000Mbps solutions for servers. Servers with
DGE-550SX Gigabit Ethernet adapter installed inside can connect to a
fiber backbone through a D-Link Gigabit switch inter-connecting
different departments, or directly to a department through a D-Link
10/100Mbps switch with Gigabit support. An integral part of end-to-
end solution, this adapter combines the benefits of high-end Gigabit
performance.
