Introduction

The EtherPower™ II 10/100 network card is based on advanced
silicon to maximize throughput and increase the efficiency of your
network. It features dual-speeds and bus-master design, and
supports Auto-Negotiation and all common networking
environments.

Models

The EtherPower II 10/100 network card comes in four models:
SMC9432TX—which has an RJ-45 connector.
K
SMC9432BTX—which has RJ-45 and BNC connectors.
K
SMC9432TX/MP—which has an RJ-45 connector and a Wake-on
K
LAN Cable.
SMC9432FTX—which has RJ-45 and SC fiber connectors as well
K
as a Wake-on LAN Cable.
The RJ-45 connector supports Auto-Negotiation, so the port can
configure itself automatically to run at the highest possible
performance level—10 or 100 Mbps and half or full duplex—
providing the link partner also supports Auto-Negotiation.
The BNC connector enables the SMC9432BTX model to transmit at
10 Mbps over thin coax cable.
The SC fiber connector enables the SMC9432FTX model to
support 100 Mbps transmissions at full and half duplex over 62.5/
125 µm multimode fiber cable. A fiber cable link operating in full-
duplex mode can extend to remote sites up to 2 km away.
