Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Gigabit ExpressCard
Adapter, the simple, reliable way to get your notebook
connected to a gigabit network. The Adapter fits in either
an ExpressCard/34 or ExpressCard/54 slot, and the RJ-45
network connector is integrated into the card, so there’s
no dongle to lose or break. The pop-up connector folds
flat when not in use for easier storage.
The card automatically negotiates for the network’s best
speed: 10, 100, or 1000 megabits per second. The card
supports 802.1p traffic prioritization, and has automatic
MDI/MDI-X crossover detection at all speeds, so you don’t
have to worry about the cable type. The easy-to-read LEDs
let you know the link status, your link speed, and network
activity. Ultra-low power consumption minimizes drain on
your notebook’s battery life.
