Allied Telesis AT-2711FX/SC-901 – TAA PCIe 100BASE-FX Fiber NIC

Overview

The Allied Telesis AT-2711FX/SC-901 is a TAA-compliant PCIe network interface card providing 100BASE-FX Fast Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber via an SC connector. It is designed for servers and workstations that require a fiber Ethernet interface rather than copper, such as environments where EMI immunity or extended segment lengths are needed. The card ships with both a low-profile and a standard-height bracket, covering installation in both slim and full-height PCIe systems. RoHS compliance ensures the card meets environmental substance restrictions required by many enterprise and government purchasing policies.

Description

The AT-2711FX/SC-901 addresses the need for server-side fiber Fast Ethernet in environments where copper connectivity is impractical or insufficient. SC-connector multimode fiber connections are common in legacy structured cabling plants, and this NIC provides a direct interface to that infrastructure from a PCIe slot.

The PCIe interface provides adequate bandwidth for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet with minimal CPU overhead, and the card is compatible with standard operating system drivers, reducing integration complexity. The -901 suffix denotes TAA compliance, which is a procurement requirement for US federal contracts and programs subject to FAR 52.225-5 trade restrictions.

Inclusion of both bracket heights at no additional cost means the card can be installed into a wider range of server chassis — including 1U rack servers that require low-profile cards — without sourcing a separate bracket. RoHS compliance satisfies the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive and equivalent domestic procurement requirements that apply to hardware in government, education, and enterprise purchasing programs.
