Security Offloads and Fiber-Optic
Throughput
Designed for Windows, Linux, and NetWare environments, the 3Com 100
Secure Fiber-FX NIC hardens at-risk systems without impacting
performance. It combines an embedded security processor with the
outstanding signal quality of fiber-optic cabling. This innovative
100BASE-FX connection offloads encryption, authentication, and other
cycle-intensive tasks from the host CPU—resulting in optimal system and
application response. The lack of electrical resistance makes fiber-cabled
infrastructures particularly useful for reducing line interference or "noise",
extending connection distances over 100 meters, or delivering the
highest-quality voice and video transmissions. Intelligent management
and server features help improve network performance, reduce
administration time, and lower support costs. |

Features |
- Works with fiber-optic cabling to
extend operating distances, lower electrical interference, and
resist packet sniffing
- Secures sensitive data at wire
speeds—with DES/3DES encryption, MD5 and SHA-1 hashing, RFC 2402
authentication, and up to 75 Security Associations
- Hardware-enforced security
features meet FIPS 140-2 criteria; NIST approval pending
- Supports larger packets—segments
TCP frames for the Ethernet MAC and adds TCP sequence numbers to
each packet
- Uses flow control to reduce lost
packets and retransmissions for more efficient data transfer between
the NIC and switch
- Responds to router-based
management requests from sleep mode to help resolve IP address-aging
issues
- Includes 3Com Managed PC Boot
Agent for pre-OS management, including installation, recovery, and
network boot
