AEI Intelligent Technologies' Low Profile PCI-X single port 1000Base-SX Gigabit Ethernet card (AEI-1000F) is designed to deliver high performance and high reliability for demanding applications. It provides a full-duplex Gigabit Ethernet connection on a Low Profile Short Card.
Our line of Fiber Optic Adapters offer a cost effective solution for high performance fiber optic networks. It is an ideal answer for high electro-magnetic environments; for time-sensitive transmissions, such as voice and video; or where cable lengths exceed 100 meters. Moreover, fiber optic networks offer resistance to tapping.
The AEI-1000F offers significant performance and power improvement over media converters. According to David Pacifico with the US Navy, "We were able to significantly improve network performance by eliminating media converters and installing AEI Ethernet Adapters."
Additionally, since the AEI-1000F is powered by the PCI-X Bus (3.3V or 5V), power consumption is dramatically reduced when compared to media converters that use double or more the power. From an integration perspective, the necessity to power-up a media converter using wall-power or hardwiring is eliminated.
Moreover, Boot Rom support makes mass integration a snap!
More and more, companies have learned the hard way the advantages of speed and security that fiber optics provide. AEI’s fiber optic network interface cards are a perfect solution for any fiber network.
The Gigabit Ethernet interface provides unparalleled server throughput that helps reduce administrative complexity by replacing multiple slower interface cards with a single Gigabit adapter.
AEI's adapters are the perfect solution for a cost effective, instant performance boost over existing Category 5 UTP copper cabling. It also offers scalability for those contemplating future upgrades to Gigabit technology.
