100Base-FX Fibre ExpressCard Network Adapter, SC Connector

The EC100FX Series 100Base-FX fibre Network Adapterers are designed to plug into a notebook or desktop computer equipped with an ExpressCard slot. Model EC100FXSC provides SC type connectors.

ExpressCard is a open hardware standard developed by the Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) and issued by the ITU-T. This standard replaces earlier PC Card (also known as PCMCIA card) technology. The host device supports both PCI Express and USB 2.0 connectivity through the ExpressCard slot . Alloy EX100FX Series Network Adapters utilise the PCI Express connectivity. The major benefit of ExpressCard technology over PCMCIA CardBus is a dramatic increase in bandwidth, ExpressCard has a maximum throughput of 2.5 Gbit/s through PCI Express versus CardBus's shared 1.06 Gbit/s bandwidth. ExpressCard devices are hot-pluggable.

All models in the EC100FX SEries provide fiber optic link capability for notebook PC to connect to fibre networks at 100Mbps data rate over fibre optic multimode cable, with a maximum cable distance of up to 2Km. Diagnostic LEDs are easily visible to support maintenance tasks. A comprehensive Network Operating System (NOS) driver suite supports NetWare, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista /2003 server/2008 server. Linux and PXE remote boot is available.
