• USB 3.0 Interface: Provides higher bandwidth and improved data exchange protocols, fully backward-compatible with USB 2.0 and 1.1.
• Enhanced Thermal Dissipation: Aluminum shell ensures better heat management compared to plastic casings.
• Versatile Design: Supports compatibility with various SFP Gigabit modules, allowing users to adapt to different networking environments.
• High-Speed Transmission: Achieves a maximum transmission rate of 1000 Mbps, meeting high data transfer demands.

Controller Features

Based on the Realtek RTL8153-CG Ethernet Controller, the NIC-3210PF-LX integrates:

• IEEE 802.3u Media Access Controller (MAC).
• USB 3.0 bus controller.
• Advanced DSP technology for robust data transmission over CAT 5 UTP or CAT 3 UTP cables (10 Mbps only).
• Functions like Crossover Detection and Auto-Correction, polarity correction, adaptive equalization, echo cancellation, and error correction ensure reliable performance.

Advanced Power Management

• ACPI Support: For efficient power management in modern operating systems with OSPM (Operating System-directed Power Management).
• Wake-On-LAN (WoL) and "RealWoW" (Wake-On-WAN) technologies.
• Protocol Offload: Offloads ARP (IPv4) and NS (IPv6) protocols in low-power states to reduce unnecessary wake-ups and power consumption.
• Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE): Supports IEEE 802.3az-2010 for low-power idle mode during low link utilization.

Network Performance Enhancements

• Checksum Offload: Fully compliant with Microsoft NDIS5 and NDIS6 (IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP) for reduced CPU utilization.
• Jumbo Frame Support: Up to 9 KB for improved network throughput.
• VLAN and Priority Encoding: Supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and IEEE 802.1P Layer 2 priority encoding.
• Full Duplex Flow Control: Compliant with IEEE 802.3x standards.

Supported Operating Systems

• Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit).
• Linux: Broad support for major distributions.
