ENW-9605

32-Bit PCI Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (without BootROM socket)

Gigabit Ethernet is the perfect solution for one of the major requirements of today's Local Area Networks: improving communication speed. With throughput up to ten times that of existing 100Base-TX solutions, using the PLANET ENW-9605 to connect your servers and workstations guarantees extremely high throughput and excellent signal quality.

The ENW-9605 is a 10/100/1000Mbps 32bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Local Bus Ethernet adapter designed to address high-performance system application requirements. The Bus-Master architecture provides very high data throughput as it runs in the 32-bit PCI bus of the server's mainboard rather than waiting on the CPU.

The ENW-9605 supports both current motherboards (32-bit/33MHz PCI) and also the new PCI interface (32-bit/66MHz) and operating systems of the next generation, future-proofing your investment. Lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and with increased performance, the ENW-9605 is now the choice of your network data server or just right for your powerful desktop PCs.
