LevelOne Gigabit Fiber PCIe Network Card, PCIe 4X, 2 x SFP

The LevelOne GNC-0122 Gigabit network card is a PCIe 4X fiber network adapter with two SFP ports designed for internal installation in servers and workstations. It provides wired gigabit connectivity over fiber, is built with an aluminium housing for durability, and supports common Ethernet standards to ensure compatibility with existing network infrastructures.

Advantages

The GNC-0122 supports Wake-on-LAN for remote startup and shutdown, iSCSI remote boot for network-based system initialization, and load balancing across multiple CPUs to optimise throughput. The card is compatible with x4, x8, and x16 PCI Express slots and works with most Network Operating Systems. Intel® PROSet Utility integration allows management via Windows Device Manager.

Suitable for

• Servers requiring fiber gigabit uplinks
• Workstations needing reliable wired connectivity
• Environments using iSCSI remote boot
• Setups that benefit from Wake-on-LAN management
