3Com 100 Secure Fiber-FX NIC - network adapter

• Manufacturer: 3Com Direct
• Part number: 3CR990B-FX-97
• Description: Designed for Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments, the 3Com 100 Secure Fiber-FX NIC hardens at-risk systems without impacting performance. It combines an embedded security processor with the outstanding signal quality of fiber-optic cabling. This innovative 100BASE-FX connection offloads encryption, authentication, and other cycle-intensive tasks from the host CPU - resulting in optimal system and application response. The lack of electrical resistance makes fiber-cabled infrastructures particularly useful for reducing line interference or "noise", extending connection distances over 100 meters, or delivering the highest-quality voice and video transmissions. Intelligent management and server features help improve network performance, reduce administration time, and lower support costs.
