Celerity FC-41ES Adapter

The Celerity FC-41ES is a single-channel host adapter providing support for the most demanding application requirements. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/sec. per channel, the FC-41ES is a cost effective connectivity solution for environments requiring maximum throughput.

The FC-41ES also takes advantage of the latest in host interconnect technology: PCI Express, a serial, high-speed connection that supports aggregate throughput up to 1 GB/sec. (x4 PCIe). The FC-41ES is software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products using the same device drivers as other Celerity FC products, simplifying user installation and support. It is backward compatible with existing 2-Gb and 1-Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure, protecting existing technology investments.
