Fiber PCI Card Trendnet TE100-PCIFC 100Base Multi-Mode SC

The TRENDnet TE100-PCIFC Fiber PCI Card is a 100Base Multi-Mode SC adapter that provides a fiber connection from a PC or server to an SC-type multi-mode fiber network for distances up to 2 kilometres (1.2 miles). The card supports full-duplex operation and a maximum data throughput of 200 Mbps, and fits into a standard PCI slot for easy installation.

Advantages

The adapter offers reliable long-distance multi-mode fiber connectivity with support for IEEE 802.3x flow control and 802.1Q VLAN tagging. It delivers full-duplex performance up to 200 Mbps while using ACPI 1.0 power management to optimise power consumption. The compact card is lightweight and designed for straightforward installation in desktop PCs and servers with a PCI slot.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or server to a multi-mode fiber network over short to medium distances (up to 2 km)
• Environments requiring VLAN support and flow control for traffic management
• Upgrading wired network interfaces in offices, server rooms, or industrial PCs with PCI slots

How to use

Power off the computer and insert the TE100-PCIFC card into an available standard PCI slot on the motherboard. Secure the card with the case screw, then connect a compatible multi-mode SC fiber cable to the SC connector on the card. Power on the system and install any required drivers provided by the operating system or TRENDnet. Configure network settings, enable VLAN or flow control features if needed, and verify link and data transfer functionality.

Recommendations

Use certified multi-mode SC fiber and compatible transceivers to ensure proper connection and performance. Keep fiber connectors clean and avoid bending the fiber cable beyond its minimum bend radius. For reliable operation, confirm that the host system’s PCI slot and drivers are compatible with the TE100-PCIFC and follow vendor instructions for driver installation and firmware updates.
