The Intelligent Way to Connect
The Intel® PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter—
the industry’s second-generation 10 Gigabit
Ethernet adapter—enables more productive
networks with the fastest Ethernet connectivity
available. The Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server
Adapter delivers industry-leading performance
to bandwidth-intensive applications using a
highly integrated PCI-X Intel® 82597EX 133 MHz/
64-bit 10GbE controller. High-speed server
connectivity—once reserved for costly pro-
prietary technologies such as high-performance
computing clusters and grid-based computing—
can now be achieved with the industry-standard
Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter.
the Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter,
enterprises can cost-effectively expand
campus-wide connectivity and take control
of their corporate networks with privately
owned fiber that eliminates costly leased lines.
And the Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter
makes it possible for global companies to
decrease critical data center back-up time
to provide maximum network availability.
The Intel PRO/10GbE LR Server Adapter
helps improve network productivity, extend
reach, and eliminate costly proprietary
networking technologies, while enabling
deployment of standards-compliant
Ethernet connectivity based on IEEE
802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard.
The IEEE 802.3ae* 10 Gigabit Ethernet
standard extends single-mode fiber distances
to 10 km at 10 Gbps line speeds. Using
