The 3Com Gigabit NIC provides 10/100/1000 Mbps autonegotiation and centralized management over Category 5 or 5e UTP cabling-simplifying your migration to Gigabit Ethernet. Their advanced processing features help lower CPU loads, improve system performance, and reduce application lag. Intelligent traffic control features accelerate network responsiveness and help ensure that time-sensitive transmissions get priority over noncritical traffic.
Extensive driver support helps ensure trouble-free installation in a broad range of systems. 3Com Connection Assistant simplifies installation and configuration for end users and technical staff. Timesaving pre-OS, after-hours, and remote capabilities-including 3Com Managed PC Boot Agent -- reduce the need for site visits and minimize work disruptions. These NICs are fully standards-compliant, delivering world-renowned 3Com reliability backed by a globally supported Limited Lifetime warranty. Their broad compatibility with hardware and software -- today and in the future -- helps preserve your Gigabit Ethernet investment.
