Your copper Gigabit run is choking, or you've got a server in the next room and the cabling's a mess of patch leads and splitters. The Alloy AN1000ELC plugs into a PCI-E x1 slot (low-profile PCB, so it fits compact cases) and gives you 1000Base-SX over multimode fibre with an LC connector – up to 550 metres, full duplex throughput, no degradation. VLAN filtering is built in, so your traffic stays separated without an extra managed switch. Jumbo frame support means large file transfers don't stall. IP header and TCP/UDP checksum offload takes the load off your CPU. PXE, RPL, and BOOTP remote boot are all there, so a reimage doesn't need a truck roll. RoHS compliant. If you need a clean gigabit fibre link on a desktop or server and want it done this week, not next month, this is the card. Add to cart
