Gigabit On Copper Technology

This Hawking GA132T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter provides
you with a significant increase in networking speed
without the need of using expensive fiber optic cables. .
It provides speeds of 1000 Mbps over Category 5 copper
cabling up to 328 ft (100m) in distance. The GA132T
supports full duplex to increase performance of your
network up to 2Gbps This is the ideal upgrade for
everyone that demands faster connection without having
to replace existing wiring. The GA132T 1000-BaseT
standard-based technology delivers the throughput your
users demand using the Ethernet technology. The
Hawking’s GA132T Gigabit Adapter is very easy to use
and it works with 32-bit PCI bus. It supports most
popular Network Operation Systems such as Windows
98/2000/ME/NT, Netware 4.x, 5.x, Linux, SCO Unix and
Solaris. The Hawking’s GA132T is the best choice for
your Server NIC solution at a reasonable price.

Migrating Ethernet/Fast Ethernet
Networks Toward High-Speed
Networking

The first upgrade phase is implemented in three areas:

• Upgrading the backbone with a 100/1000 Mbps
Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet switch

• Upgrading the workgroup switches that support
power users or large workgroups with Gigabit
Ethernet uplink

• Implementing 10/100/1000Mbps Fast
Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet NICs in key servers

As a result, the speed of the backbone increases tenfold
to accommodate the overall increase in network
bandwidth demand while the investment in existing
workgroup switches, end-station NICs, and existing
cabling is preserved.
