Dell Optiplex 160 Modem Card
This 56k internal modem card fits low-profile Dell Optiplex 160 systems and installs in a PCI slot. It provides dial-up connectivity for legacy equipment or isolated networks where broadband is unavailable. The card is supplied new and includes one modem card in the package.
Sustained dial-up operation
The modem maintains a steady 56k connection during long sessions without the thermal throttling seen in burst-only controllers. Line noise handling remains consistent over hours of continuous use, keeping drop rates low on stable copper pairs. No active cooling is required because the low-profile board draws minimal power from the slot.
Low-profile installation notes
The half-height bracket aligns with slim Optiplex 160 chassis, so the card seats fully without forcing the case lid. Installers must verify the motherboard has a free PCI slot; PCIe-only boards will not accept this card. The package contains the card only — no driver disc or cable is included, so the operating system must supply or download a compatible driver.

Questions about this item
How much power does the Optiplex 160 56k modem draw when running continuously?
The low-profile card is powered directly from the PCI slot, so its draw is minimal and produces no noticeable heat during all-day use.
What slot must my motherboard have free for this modem card to install?
It requires an available low-profile PCI slot; the bracket and card height are built for that form factor.
Will the Optiplex 160 modem work in a legacy system that only has full-height PCI slots?
The card itself is low-profile, so you would need a low-profile bracket or a chassis that accepts half-height cards; it will not fit a standard full-height bracket without an adapter.
