Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 100BASE-FX PCI-Express Fiber Adapter fully complies with all IEEE 802.3u and 100BASE-FX standards. It provides up to
200-Mbps full-duplex bandwidth capacity to support high-end systems. In addition, advanced functions like VLAN filtering packet
processing enable the adapter to provide added performance, flexible configuration, and secure networking for users in a
standards-based environment.
Two LED indicators (LINK/ACT and FDX) on the bracket give you board link, activities, and full-duplex status. This NIC supports
Preboot Execution Environment (PXE).
The PCI-Express (PCIe) design gives you the maximum possible bandwidth and bus efficiency and uses low power. It’s ideal for
those who are using 100-Mbps fiber cards who want to upgrade their systems to PCI-Express. It enables you to continue using
your existing 100-Mbps fiber network without adding new equipment.
Models are available with SC (LH1390C-SC-R2) or ST (LH1390C-ST-R2) connectors.
