10 Gigabit Ethernet Controllers

Gigabit Ethernet Controllers

Fast Ethernet Controllers

Intel offers a complete line of industry-leading single and multi-port Gigabit and Fast Ethernet controllers with integrated MAC and PHY, providing high performance, low power consumption, and a smaller footprint. Offering 1Gbps or 100Mbps network connections, PCI Express* (PCIe), PCI, PCI-X, SPI4-2 or LCI bus interfaces, 16, 32 or 64 bit architecture, Intel produces Ethernet controllers that enable faster, smaller, simpler designs.
