Gigabit Ethernet is the perfect solution for one of the major issues of Local Area Networks: communication speed. Ten times as fast as existing 100Base-TX solutions, using the PLANET ENW-9604 to connect your servers and workstations guarantees extremely high throughput and excellent signal quality.

The ENW-9604 is a 10/100/1000Mbps based 32/64-bit Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Local Bus Ethernet adapter designed to address high-performance system application requirements. The bus-master architecture provides very high data throughput no matter runs in 32-bit PCI bus or 64-bit PCI bus of the server's main board.

Using PCI 2.2 compliant PCI specification and 32/64-bit interface, the ENW-9604 supports both current 32-bit mother boards and systems and also the interface and operating systems of the next generation, future-proofing your investment. Lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) yet with high performance, the ENW-9604 is now the choice of your network data server or just right for your powerful desktop PCs.

Server NICs
With ten times the performance, the ENW-9604 can easily act as a server NICs of your networks by wiring to the backbone switches like WGSW-404
or GSW-1200S. The 64-bit interface of ENW-9604 is designed right for the main board with PCI 2.2 and 64-bit now and future.

Powerful Desktop PCs
Lower in cost, the PCs that runs CAD/CAM or multimedia can install the ENW-9604 in the cost of Fast Ethernet NIC where speed up the performance between PCs or servers. .
