Design
Chipset:Set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance.
Intel® 82599
Internal:The product is built in.
General
Type:Characteristics of the device.
Network Cards
Network
Ethernet LAN data rates:The different speed levels of the Ethernet LAN connection.
10,100,1000 Mbit/s
Ethernet LAN:An Ethernet LAN (Local Area Network) interface is present, for a wired conection via a cable.
Networking standards:The way in which the network is working, e.g. IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g.
IEEE 802.3
Maximum data transfer rate:
1000 Mbit/s

Ports & interfaces
PCI Card form factor:Design of the PCI Card.
Half-height (low-profile)
Fiber optic connector:This terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so light can pass. Better connectors lose very little light due to reflection or misalignment of the fibers. In all there have been about 100 types of optic fiber connectors produced.
SFP
Fiber ports quantity:The number of sockets (ports) for fibers (cables).
1
Interface:Interface ports to connect pieces of equipment. USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the most popular wired interface to connect peripherals. USB 2.0 supports speeds up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 1: 12 Mbit/s). The interface FireWire is also known as the IEEE 1394 standard. Enhanced IDE (EIDE)is sometimes referred to as Fast ATA, Fast IDE or ATA-2.
Fiber
Host interface:Interface that enables a host controller to communicate with a driver.
PCI Express
Connectivity technology:
Wired
