Celerity FC-42EN Adapter
The Celerity FC-42EN is a dual-channel host adapter,
providing port density for Enterprise server and
workstation applications. With 4-Gb FC speeds of up
to 800 MB/sec.full-duplex per channel, the FC-42EN
supports the most demanding application
requirements.
The FC-42EN takes advantage of the latest in host
interconnect technology, PCI Express, a serial, high-
speed connection that supports aggregate throughout
up to 2 GB/sec. The FC-42EN is software compatible
with existing PCI and PCI-X products using the same
device drivers as other Celerity FC family products,
simplifying user installation and support. It is
backward compatible with existing 2-Gb and 1-Gb FC
infrastructures, protecting existing technology
investments.
