1000BASE-SX Ethernet interface card

The 1000BASE-SX Ethernet interface card implements short-wavelength
(850 nm) laser transmissions. This interface card is generally used to connect to
fiber Gigabit Ethernet interfaces on other devices in your network, as well as to
provide increased throughput. The 1000BASE-SX Ethernet interface card has a
single type LC fiber connector.
