PCIe Fast Ethernet 100Base-FX Fiber Network Interface Card, Intel 82574 Chipset PCIe x1 Fiber NIC, Single FE SFP Port.

The NIC-9030PF-SFP is a robust and versatile PCI Express (PCIe) fiber-optic LAN card, offering 100Mbps fast Ethernet connectivity for modern networking demands. Powered by the reliable Intel 82574 Ethernet Controller, this NIC is among the first PCIe x1 slot fiber cards of its kind, supporting seamless integration and high-speed performance. Its SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port provides flexible compatibility with various optical transceivers, allowing users to customize fiber connectors and transmission distances to suit their specific requirements.

Designed for environments where traditional Cat 5e cabling (>100m) falls short, the NIC-9030PF-SFP enables a reliable fiber-optic link for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-desktop (FTTD) solutions.
