Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet UTP Low-Profile Adapter

The Sun PCI-Express Dual Gigabit Ethernet UTP adapter is a low-profile, dual-port gigabit Ethernet copper-based PCI-Express adapter. It can be configured to operate in 10, 100, or 1000 Mbit/sec Ethernet networks. At 10 or 100 Mbit/sec, the adapter can be set to either half or full-duplex. At 1000 Mbit/sec, the adapter must operate at full-duplex.
