DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A

DS215SLCCG2AZZ01A is a LAN Communication Card manufactured and designed by General Electric as part of the Mark V Series used in GE Speedtronic Gas Turbine Control Systems. A LAN communication card, also known as a network interface card (NIC) or network adapter, is a hardware device that enables a computer to connect to a local area network (LAN). It allows a computer to send and receive data over a network by providing the necessary physical and data link layer functionality. A LAN communication card is typically installed inside a computer's expansion slot, such as a PCI or PCIe slot, or it can be integrated into the motherboard of the computer. The card provides an Ethernet port or other network connector that allows the computer to connect to a LAN using Ethernet or other compatible network protocols.

FEATURES:

LAN communication cards, or network interface cards (NICs), come with various features and capabilities that enhance network connectivity and performance. Here are some common features you may find in LAN communication cards:

LAN communication cards support different Ethernet speeds, such as 10/100/1000 Mbps (Fast Ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet), or even higher speeds like 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) for high-performance networks. They are compatible with different Ethernet standards, ensuring seamless connectivity with other network devices.

LAN communication cards typically feature one or more Ethernet ports or connectors. The most common connector type is the RJ-45 connector, which is used for wired Ethernet connections. Some NICs may also have additional connectors for fiber optic cables, allowing for long-distance connections or higher data rates.

LAN communication cards can be available in different interface types, such as PCI, PCIe, or USB. The interface type determines how the card connects to the computer's motherboard or external port. PCI and PCIe are commonly used for internal NICs, while USB NICs provide external connectivity options.

Virtual LAN (VLAN) support enables NICs to work with virtual networks within a physical network infrastructure. VLANs help segment the network into logical groups, improving network security, traffic management, and performance. NICs with VLAN support can tag and prioritize network traffic based on VLAN membership.
