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

The NIC-9030PF is a high-performance, managed PCIe x1 fiber optic network interface card (NIC) designed for 100Mbps fast Ethernet applications. Leveraging Intel's advanced Ethernet controller technology, it delivers reliable fiber-optic connectivity, making it ideal for extending networks beyond the limitations of traditional Ethernet cables. Equipped with a 1x9 optical transceiver module, users can select fiber interface parameters, such as connector types, transmission distances, and fiber modes, to meet specific needs.

This NIC is the perfect solution for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) and fiber-to-the-desktop (FTTD) applications, replacing the traditional Ethernet card and external optical transceivers, and offering seamless, long-distance connectivity.
