ENW-9803 10GBASE-T PCI Express Server Adapter
10 Gigabit Performance yet Low Cost and Low Power
Planet have upgraded and released a new version of ENW-9803 10Gbps PCI Express Server Adapter. The new Planet ENW-9803 is using Marvell 88X3310P PHY, which is a low power, high performance NBASE-T PHYs device that support IEEE 802.az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE). The new Planet ENW-9803 NIC adapter reference design supports auto-negotiation for allowing the NBASE-T solution to optimally select the best and flexible speed like 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE), 5 Gigabit Ethernet (5GbE), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet (2.5GbE), 1Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 100 Megabit Ethernet (100MbE) over Cat5e/Cat6 or better cabling. It is designed to address system application requirements by offering the best cost, 10Gbps high performance, low-power consumption and better-quality solution in the 10Gbps network market today.
Cost-effective and Ideal 10G Copper NIC Adapter
Compared with 10G adapter with CX4 and SFP+ interface, The Planet 10GBASE-T PCI-E adapter is the best choice in that the ENW-9803 10GBASE-T can reach up to 100 meters over Cat.6a or Cat.7 RJ45 cable, whereas the CX4 and SFP+ interface only can work with fixed speed rate but the ENW-9803 10G copper NIC adapter can adjust and work with the speed rate of 100M/1G/2.5G/5G. Not only that the CX4 interface only can extend up to 15 meters in distance. The cost is too high for having an extra SFP+ interface for the SFP+ transceiver. However, with the ENW-9803, customers only spend on Cat.6a or Cat.7 cable as the ENW-9803 is bundled with RJ45 connector, thus costing less than the SFP+ transceiver.
