EM110 TX Fast Ethernet adapters, designed for PCI, EISA and ISA servers and workstations, are the fastest way to connect to 10 Mbits/sec. and 100 Mbits/sec. Fast Ethernet networks. These high speed adapters combine flexibility, and performance to provide easy migration from 10BASE-T and 10BASE-2 to 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet. The Combo Option - Universal Connectivity and Upgrade Path The EM110 TX Combo achieves universal cable connectivity by providing a BNC coax connector. You can connect to your old coax network now, and still be prepared for the eventual upgrade to Fast Ethernet. AutoSense configuration provides flexibility The AutoSense feature of EM110 TX allows the adapter to detect the maximum line speed of your network automatically. Simply connect the EM110 TX to any existing 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network device; no adapter configuration is necessary. For maximum flexibility, this AutoSense feature is compatible with all 10 and 100 Mbits/sec. devices, including those without NWAY line speed negotiation. High bandwidth networking Ten times faster than traditional 10 Mbits/sec. Ethernet adapters, EM110 TX Fast Ethernet is ideal for resource-intensive graphics, multimedia, Microsoft Windows, and mission-critical applications which need high throughput and low CPU utilization to power large amounts of data across the network. For maximum performance, EM110 TX (PCI only) includes both 10 Mbits/sec. FDE and 100 Mbits/sec. FDFE Full Duplex capability which doubles the cumulative system throughput rate. Full Duplex capability is easily enabled via software configuration.
