Black Box PCIE Network Interface Adapter SX LC - Gigabit Ethernet Card with LC Connectors and VLAN Support

The Black Box PCIE Network Interface Adapter SX LC (Part Number: LH1690C-LC-R3) is a high-performance gigabit Ethernet card designed for demanding network environments. Featuring a single port PCIe interface, this adapter is compatible with a broad range of operating systems, ensuring seamless integration into existing systems. Its LC connectors enable easy attachment of multimode 850nm fiber optic cables up to 220 meters, making it ideal for densely populated server racks and industrial applications. The card’s sturdy design and compliance with industry standards such as IEEE 802.3z and 1000BASE-SX guarantee reliable operation in electronically noisy areas and secure government networks. Supporting Link Aggregation (LACP IEEE 802.3ad), failover, and static trunking, it enhances network resilience and flexibility. Additionally, the adapter supports energy-efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az), reducing power consumption during periods of low link utilization, which helps organizations meet environmental targets while maintaining high performance.

The device offers advanced features such as high-level VLAN filtering, VLAN tag support (802.1P/Q), and onboard screening of VLAN-tagged Ethernet frames, providing secure and flexible network segmentation options. It also supports IP multicast filtering to optimize bandwidth usage, especially in multicast-heavy environments. The inclusion of jumbo frame support facilitates efficient handling of packet-heavy traffic, making this adapter suitable for high-demand data centers and enterprise networks. With full-duplex flow control (IEEE 802.3x) and offload capabilities for IP headers and TCP/UDP checksums, the adapter minimizes CPU load and maximizes throughput. The RTL8168 chipset ensures reliable performance and compatibility.

This plug-in card is easy to install in a PCIe x1 slot, and its compact, lightweight design makes it suitable for various server configurations. Built with environmental sustainability in mind, it complies with WEEE directives and RoHS standards, supporting eco-friendly initiatives. The Black Box PCIE Network Interface Adapter SX LC comes with a 2-year limited warranty, providing peace of mind for critical applications. Whether used in industrial, secure government, or data center environments, this network adapter delivers robust, high-speed connectivity and advanced networking features to meet evolving network demands.
