FastFrame NT12 Adapter
Built on industry-leading Intel® silicon for universal
usability, ATTO FastFrame NICs lead in high
performance I/O connectivity for Mac OS X
environments while offering broad support for
Windows and Linux server and workstation operating
systems. They provide reliable, inexpensive, fast
network access to block storage via iSCSI, with
lossless Ethernet (CEE) and Data Center Bridging
(DCB) for improved iSCSI quality of service. New to
the FastFrame family, ATTO FastFrame 10GBASE-T
NICs operate with existing structured shielded or
unshielded twisted pair copper cabling familiar to
network professionals. 10GbE cards, ports & cabling
are backwards compatible to Gig-E for staged
upgrades or future-proofing— and you can run
10GBASE-T NICs with Cat6a cabling that’s already in
place.
