Tarjeta de red Allied Telesis AT-2711FX/LC-001

The Allied Telesis AT-2711FX/LC-001 is an internal Fast Ethernet fiber network card that supports up to 100 Mbit/s data transfer. Designed for PCI Express host systems, this compact PCIe x1 adapter provides wired fiber connectivity for secure, low-power network links suitable for government, education and other environments with strict security and reliability requirements.

Advantages

The AT-2711FX/LC-001 offers increased bus efficiency and bandwidth through its PCI Express x1 interface while maintaining low power consumption. It includes a Windows utility for diagnostics, testing and analysis, and supports priority queuing to help manage traffic according to network needs. The card is a straightforward migration path for users of older 100 Mbit/s fiber adapters, allowing reuse of existing fiber infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Upgrading desktops or workstations to fiber-based Fast Ethernet networks
• Environments requiring secure, reliable wired connectivity (government, education, financial institutions)
• Systems with PCI Express x1 slots where low-power fiber connectivity is needed

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is limited to Fast Ethernet speeds (100 Mbit/s) and therefore is not appropriate where Gigabit or multi-gigabit throughput is required. It is intended for systems with an available PCIe x1 slot; it will not provide functionality in devices without a compatible PCI Express host interface.

Key specifications

• Maximum data transfer rate: 100 Mbit/s
• Host interface: PCI Express (PCIe) x1
• Connectivity: Fiber (LC connector)
• Networking standards: IEEE 802.1as, IEEE 802.3x, IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3ac, IEEE 802.2, IEEE 802.1Q, IEEE 802.1p
• Weight: 0.05 kg

How to use

Install the AT-2711FX/LC-001 into an available PCIe x1 slot on a powered-off desktop or workstation following standard ESD precautions. Connect the fiber cable to the LC fiber port and install the provided Windows utility or drivers if required by the operating system. Use the diagnostic and configuration software to run tests, view link status and configure priority queuing based on network needs.

What to consider before purchase

• Required network speed — this card supports up to 100 Mbit/s only
• Presence of a compatible PCI Express x1 slot in the target system
• Compatibility with existing fiber cabling and LC connectors
• Need for Windows drivers/utilities to access diagnostic and configuration features

Recommendations

For stable performance, use the AT-2711FX/LC-001 in systems with current PCIe slots and pair it with properly terminated LC fiber cabling; run the bundled diagnostics after installation to verify link integrity and configure priority queuing according to application requirements.
