Allied AT-2711FX Fast Ethernet Fiber NIC

The Allied AT-2711FX is a Fast Ethernet fiber network interface card built for systems that need a 100Base-FX link over ST connectors. It fits a PCI Express x1 slot and provides a single fiber port for connecting to compatible switches or media converters. This card suits administrators upgrading legacy Allied Telesis 100 Mbps fiber installations to a modern PCIe bus. It does not serve networks that require Gigabit or 10 Gigabit throughput.

Low power consumption PCIe x1 card

The manufacturer highlights low power consumption as a benefit of the AT-2711FX design, meaning the card draws minimal energy from the PCI Express slot during normal operation. With only one ST port and no active cooling components listed, the plug-in card runs silently in typical desktop or server chassis. The approximate weight is 1.92 oz, reflecting a lightweight board that adds negligible thermal load to the system.

Direct upgrade path from AT-2701FX

For customers currently using the Allied Telesis AT-2701FX 100 Mbps fiber card, the AT-2711FX provides a direct upgrade path to PCI Express without changing cabling or connector type. The single ST port maintains compatibility with existing 100Base-FX fiber runs, while the PCIe x1 host interface ensures the card fits current motherboard slots. No bundled software or accessories are mentioned beyond the card itself.
