32-bit/66MHz PCI network interface card that contain two independent Gigabit ports on one PCI adapter.

Fiber Gigabit Ethernet 1000Baes-SX: Independently fiber gigabit ethernet channels support Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-SX

Small Form Factor (SFF) LC Connectors

Common Key Features:

Host Interface standard support: PCI v2.2 32/64 bit, 33/66MHz, PCI-X v1.0 32/64-bit, 66/100/133MHz

High performance, reliability, and low power use in Intel 82546 dual integrated MAC + PHY / SERDES chip controller

Ultra deep, 64 KB packet buffer per channel lowers CPU utilization, avoids PCI-X congestion

Hardware acceleration that can offload tasks from the host processor. The controllers can offload TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP segmentation
