Copper Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) Adapters :

Independently copper Gigabit Ethernet channels support Single Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T), Fast Ethernet (100Base-Tx) and Ethernet (10Base-T)
Triple speed 1000Mbps (1000Base-T), 100 Mbps (100Base-Tx) and 10 Mbps (100Base-T) operation
Nway auto negotiation automatic sensing and switching between 1Gbps full duplex and 100 / 10 Mbps operations Simplex or Full Duplex
RJ-45 female connectors

Common Key Features:
Host Interface standard support:

PCI-Express Base Specification Revision 2.0 ( 5Gbps) to the upstream on board switch
High performance, reliability, and low power use in advanced Intel integrated MAC + PHY / SERDES chip Controllers
Ultra deep, packet buffer per channel lowers CPU utilization, avoids PCI-Express congestion
Hardware acceleration that can offload tasks from the host processor. The Controllers can offload TCP/UDP/IP checksum calculations and TCP segmentation
Server class reliability, availability and performance features:
Link Aggregation and Load Balancing:
- Switch dependent: 802.3ad (LACP), Generic Trunking ( GEC / FEC)
- Switch and NIC Independent
- Failover
Priority queuing – 802.1p layer 2 priority encoding
Virtual LANs –802.1q VLAN tagging
Jumbo Frame (9.5KB)
802.x flow control
Statistics for SNMP MIB II, Ethernet like MIB, and Ethernet MIB (802.3z, Clause 30)
LEDs indicators for link/Activity/Speed status
