3COM 3C996-SX Gigabit Fiber-SX Server PCI Network Interface Card

Overview

3Com’s 3C996-SX  New Gigabit Ethernet NIC dramatically clears server and backbone congestion with 1000 Mbps performance, providing plenty of bandwidth for high-capacity applications and time-sensitive traffic. They also guard against interference, packet snooping, and signal degradation, which is ideal for long cabling distances, high-security LANs, and noisy environments.
