10/100Mbps PCI Card
DFE-528TX
This adapter plugs into a desktop computer's PCI
expansion bus slot to run in 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX
mode, half- or full-duplex.
10/100Mbps PCI Card for PC & Macintosh
The DFE-528TX is a high-performance auto-sensing 10/100Mbps dual-speed adapter for the PCI bus. Installable in a PC
equipped with PCI expansion slots, this card turns a desktop computer into a high-bandwidth graphic/multimedia workstation
running at full-duplex speed.
High Performance
With 32-bit Bus Master operation, the card guarantees the
highest performance for power workstations and servers.
Bus Master transfers data directly between the card and the
host, bypassing the host CPU to alleviate its workload. This
allows the host to concentrate on the application at hand.
10/100Mbps Flexible Connection
The card's single connector connects to either 10BASE-T
Ethernet or 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet. 10/100Mbps
speeds are auto-negotiated, completely without users' need
to intervene.
Key Features
Full Duplex Support
Full/half duplex operations are auto-negotiated in both
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX modes. When connected to a
switch in full duplex, the network speed can be increased to
200Mbps, making the card an ideal NIC for high-speed
workstation deployment.
