PDF Brochure RouterBOARD 44 RouterBOARD 44G
This is the perfect four port card for a router or a server. The easy to use MDI/X feature (accepts both cross-over and straight cables) can now be used on your router or server. This device integrates four 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports into one card that is an ideal solution for connecting many networks to one router or for extending your network. The four-in-one function of the card allows you to increase router efficiency by saving PCI slots, so that you can add other useful devices by freeing three PCI slots of your router. The card can be used to set up variable communication structures, e.g., use it for enhanced routing between VLANs or for creating high-speed intranet connections. The Four Port Ethernet card ensures stable performance during peak traffic periods by providing a highspeed link from a switch, hub, or server into a backbone network.
