LAN104
Single and Dual 10/100 MBit Ethernet PC/104-Plus Modules

The LAN104-Family consists of highly integrated and robust PC/104-Plus compliant Ethernet modules for industrial use. With a single PC/104-Plus module, your system can be expanded with up to two 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet controller! The controllers are AMD PCnetTM compatible, allowing the use of PCnet Family driver and diagnostic software. Furthermore, the LAN104-Product Family offers a wide range of interface options to match your system requirements: a simple header, onboard RJ45, or MII connector. Over the MII, a fibre optic 100BaseFX can be used. These and other unique features, make the LAN104- Product Family the ideal solution for industrial network applications.

LAN104 Specialities
