Sun Quad FastEthernet network interface cards provide scalable bandwidth up to 400 Mbps (full duplex). And by combining the Quad FastEthernet adapter with Sun Trunking software (link) you increase network bandwidth up to 800 Mbps on a single logical port. Combining the performance of 100-BaseT with the density of four high-performance 10/100 auto-negotiating ports, it's the only networking option that delivers scalable bandwidth and multi-homing solutions in a single-wide SBus or PCI network interface card. Using Quad FastEthernet with a trunking-capable switch and trunking software delivers fat-pipe performance that is transparent to the application layer. Plus, by distributing the traffic across multiple Fast Ethernet links, you have the trunking configuration options your network needs for the dedicated bandwidth required by high-performance servers and desktops in switched environments. Ideal for data and video, Sun Quad FastEthernet adapters provide the server and network with the unprecedented performance of up to 400-Mbps throughput in full duplex and load balancing across discreet links. Since 100-BaseT Fast Ethernet is backward-compatible with existing 10-BaseT network protocols, it preserves your existing core wiring infrastructure, enabling a cost-effective, seamless migration to higher network throughput.
