Celerity FC-41EL Adapter

The Celerity FC-41EL is a single-channel host adapter. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up to 800 MB/sec., the FC-41EL supports the most demanding application requirements.

The FC-41EL takes advantage of the latest in host interconnect technology, PCI Express, a serial, high- speed connection that supports aggregate throughout up to 2 GB/sec.full-duplex. The FC-41EL is software compatible with existing PCI and PCI-X products using the same device drivers as other Celerity FC family products, simplifying user installation and support. It is backward compatible with existing 2-Gb and 1-Gb FC infrastructures, protecting existing technology investments.
