More Bandwidth with PCI-Express Interface

The PCI-Express (PCIe) design gives you the maximum possible bandwidth and bus efficiency. Other benefits are capability and low power consumption.

High Reliability

The AT-2972T/2 Gigabit interface card comes with a comprehensive Microsoft Windows utility that performs detailed tests, diagnostics and analysis.

Advanced Manageability

The priority queuing offered by AT-2972T/2 can help you set-up your network based on your own needs.The comprehensive diagnostics and configuration software suite provides system adminstrators and engineers with a profound tool to analyze the interface card to check specific data.

Dual Port Copper Interfaces

Two copper port interfaces give you the maximum protection against failure. If one link goes down, the other keeps sending data to prevent network down time.The two ports can also be trunked to increase bandwidth in server type applications.
