PCI Gigabit Server Adapter

The Intel PWLA8490MF is a PCI network interface card built on the Intel 82545 Gigabit Controller. It delivers 10/100/1000Mbps connectivity over a single LC fibre connector and includes 64 KB of on-board memory for packet buffering.

Suits legacy server maintenance.

This adapter fits administrators maintaining older rack or tower servers that only provide a conventional PCI expansion slot and require a fibre uplink. It is not suitable for systems that exclusively offer PCI Express slots, nor for deployments needing multiple network ports or Wake On LAN capability.

Single LC fibre port at 1000Mbps

The decisive specification is the single LC connector operating at up to 1000Mbps. If your infrastructure demands a fibre link on a standard PCI bus, this card matches that requirement; if you need copper RJ45, additional ports or a PCI Express interface, a different adapter is required.

Highlights

  • Gigabit connectivity for fast network throughput
  • Single LC fibre port for direct optical links
  • PCI interface fits legacy server expansion slots
  • 64 KB on-board memory buffers traffic efficiently
  • Full-height and low-profile brackets included for flexible mounting

Questions about this item

Will the PWLA8490MF fit in a system that still uses the PCI interface?

Yes, the card uses a standard PCI interface and ships with full-height and low-profile screw-on brackets for different chassis.

How can I confirm the Intel 82545 Gigabit Controller is operating at 1000Mbps after installation?

Check the link speed in your OS network settings or the switch port status; it should show 1000Mbps full-duplex when connected to a gigabit link.

Does the box include the fibre patch cable for the LC connector?

The package contains the PWLA8490MF adapter, a Quick Install Guide and an L-P bracket; an LC fibre patch cable must be purchased separately.
