Fast Ethernet Secure Copper 
and Fiber Network Interface Cards
Upgrade LAN
Security without
Impacting Network
Performance
Today’s sophisticated networks have
evolved well beyond simple file and
print sharing. Likewise, enterprise
systems are being asked to handle
more sophisticated business applica-
tions and heavier processing loads.
That’s the reasoning behind our 3Com
Fast Ethernet Secure Copper and
Fiber NICs. Faced with an Internet
filled with viruses and worms, com-
panies appreciate how LAN security
contributes to network performance
and availability. Unfortunately, many
have already learned the hard way
that an unprotected network is 
vulnerable to hostile attacks, the 
kind that can bring day-to-day 
operations to a screeching halt and
cost thousands of dollars (or more) 
in lost productivity. 
These advanced-platform NICs let IT
administrators implement end-to-end
LAN security without sacrificing 
system performance for end users.
High-performance features, such as
processing offloads* and fiber-optic
compatibility, help systems run faster.
*Windows 2003 Server, 2000, or XP operating system required for offload capabilities.
