This adapter is an excellent solution for data centers, virtualized servers, cloud computing, and other high-performance computing environments that require reliable and fast networking capabilities.
An Ethernet adapter, also known as a network interface card (NIC), is a hardware component that enables a computer system to connect to a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) using an Ethernet cable. Ethernet adapters come in different forms, including PCIe, USB, and wireless adapters.
The Lenovo I350-T4 Anyfabric 1GB 4 Port Base-T Ethernet Adapter is a PCIe-based adapter that provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast and reliable network connectivity. The adapter uses Intel’s Ethernet Controller I350, which is a high-performance networking chip that supports advanced features like virtualization, flow control, and quality of service (QoS).
Anyfabric Technology
One of the unique features of the 00FC464 Lenovo I350-T4 adapter is its support for Anyfabric technology. Anyfabric is a networking technology that enables different types of network fabrics to be interconnected, providing a seamless and flexible networking infrastructure. With Anyfabric, network administrators can create a unified fabric that supports Ethernet, InfiniBand, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technologies.
The Anyfabric technology used in the Lenovo I350-T4 adapter allows the adapter to connect to various network fabrics, making it an excellent solution for data centers and other high-performance computing environments that require flexible and scalable networking capabilities.
1GB Ethernet Speed
The 00FC464 Lenovo I350-T4 adapter provides four Gigabit Ethernet ports, which support speeds of up to 1Gbps. Gigabit Ethernet is a high-speed networking technology that provides faster data transfer rates than traditional Ethernet. With four Gigabit Ethernet ports, the Lenovo I350-T4 adapter can provide a total bandwidth of up to 4Gbps, making it an ideal solution for high-bandwidth applications like video streaming, data backup, and server virtualization.
Base-T Technology
The Lenovo I350-T4 adapter uses Base-T technology, which is a type of Ethernet technology that uses twisted pair cables for data transmission. Base-T technology is the most common type of Ethernet technology used in local area networks (LANs) today. Base-T Ethernet supports data transfer rates of up to 1Gbps over a distance of up to 100 meters.
4-Port Ethernet Adapter
The Lenovo I350-T4 adapter is a 4-port Ethernet adapter, which means it provides four Ethernet ports for network connectivity. A 4-port Ethernet adapter is an excellent solution for applications that require multiple network connections, like server virtualization, cloud computing, and data centers. With four Ethernet ports, the Lenovo I350-T4 adapter can provide more bandwidth and network redundancy, making it an ideal solution for high-performance computing environments.
PCI Express Interface
The 00FC464 Lenovo I350-T4 adapter uses a PCI Express (PCIe) interface, which is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. PCIe is the most common interface used in modern computers for connecting peripherals like graphics cards, sound cards, and networking adapters. PCIe provides faster data transfer rates than older interfaces like PCI and AGP, making it an ideal interface for high-performance networking devices like the Lenovo I350-T4 adapter.
Overall, the Lenovo I350-T4 Anyfabric 1GB 4 Port Base-T Ethernet Adapter is a high-performance networking device that provides fast and reliable Ethernet connectivity for various computing applications. With support for Anyfabric technology, 1GB Ethernet speed, Base-T technology, 4-port Ethernet connectivity, and a PCIe interface.
