NIC/CNA

A network adapter is the component of a computer’s internal hardware that is used for communicating over a network with another computer. It enable a computer to connect with another computer, server or any networking device over an LAN connection. A network adapter can be used over a wired or wireless network.

Based on the low-power Gigabit Ethernet Controller,10Gtek network adapter offers optimal performance in a low-cost, low-power, compact profile. Teaming support and an array of other advanced features enable customers to utilize this adapter as an entry-level server adapter as well. 10Gtek has 1.25 Gigabit Ethernet CNA, 10 Gigabit Ethernet CNA, 25 Gigabit Ethernet CNA and 40 Gigabit Ethernet CNA.
