Product Description
Designed for Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments, this low-profile version of 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.
