SysKonnect SK-9Exx/9Sxx Gigabit Ethernet Server Adapters
4 Hardware Features
The SysKonnect SK-9Exx/SK-9Sxx Gigabit Ethernet Adapter Family defines a series of network
interfaces that combine server and workstation computers with the high-speed Gigabit Ethernet net-
work (1000 Mbit/s) using fiber-optic and copper cables. At present there are twelve types available.
They differ in terms of technology (PCIExpress and PCI/PCI-X), number of ports, and transmission
mode. LC duplex connectors (fiber cabling) and RJ-45 connectors (copper cabling) are used to con-
nect to the network. The SysKonnect SK-9Exx/9Sxx Adapter can be connected to a switch, a buff-
ered repeater, or directly to a second station (see also figure 3 “Possible network configurations /
connection options”).
