## Summary description

The StarTech.com PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Multimode SC Fiber Network Card Adapter (PEX1000MMSC2) offers wired connectivity with a maximum data transfer rate of 2000 Mbit/s. It supports PCI Express interface and is designed for internal use, making it ideal for enhancing network performance in various applications.

## Long description

The StarTech.com PEX1000MMSC2 PCIe Gigabit Fiber Network Card adds a multimode SC fiber port to a desktop or rackmount computer via an available PCI Express slot. It provides direct fiber connectivity for Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber, supporting links up to 550 meters with 50/125 µm duplex SC cable and up to 220 meters with 62.5/125 µm multimode cabling. The card includes both a standard profile bracket and a low-profile/half-height bracket for compatibility with full-size and small form-factor systems, and is intended for internal installation in desktop or server systems.
Advantages
This PCI Express fiber network adapter delivers full Gigabit bandwidth while eliminating susceptibility to electromagnetic interference common with copper RJ45 networks. The multimode SC interface supports extended-distance connections within fiber infrastructures and offers compatibility with common multimode fiber types. Its dual-profile bracket design simplifies installation in standard and low-profile computer cases and rackmount servers.
Suitable for
Connecting desktop PCs or rackmount servers to multimode SC fiber networks
Environments requiring immunity to electromagnetic interference
Integrating computers into existing multimode fiber infrastructure (50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm)
Small form-factor systems and 1U rackmount servers requiring low-profile expansion cards

How to use
Power down and unplug the computer, open the case, and install the PEX1000MMSC2 into an available PCI Express slot. Secure the chosen bracket (standard or low-profile) to the card, close the case, and reconnect power. After booting the system, install any required drivers or allow the operating system to recognize the adapter automatically. Connect multimode duplex SC fiber between the card and the network source using appropriate 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm fiber cable depending on the required link distance.
Usage recommendations
Use 50/125 µm multimode duplex SC fiber cabling to achieve maximum link distance (up to 550 m). For installations in electrically noisy environments or where galvanic isolation is required, prefer fiber connections over copper. Ensure proper handling and termination of fiber connectors to maintain signal quality.
