Albuquerque, NM — (PR excerpt) — SBS Technologies today introduced eight Gigabit Ethernet PCI Mezzanine Cards (PMCs) built with single-chip architecture. Designed to provide full functionality while reducing the number of chips and components required, the new PMCs offer a significantly improved price/performance ratio over multi-chip Gigabit Ethernet PMCs.

All eight Gigabit Ethernet cards are single-wide 32/64-bit 33/66 MHz PCI, 66/133 MHz PCI-X PMCs with front panel I/O access, auto-negotiating protocol selection and support for Jumbo frames. Transmit and receive FIFOs, 64KB total per port, allow back-to-back transmissions with minimal interface latency. All components and traces avoid the board area that would be used for a stiffener bar, making the PMCs compatible with ruggedized and conduction cooled CPUs.

Linux drivers are available.
