  • Low power consumption reduces system load
  • Lightweight plug-in card at 1.92 oz

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.

Questions about this item

How do I install the AT-2711FX into a PCI Express x1 slot, and what step do people often miss?

Insert the card firmly into an available PCI Express x1 slot until the bracket aligns with the chassis screw hole; the step often missed is securing the bracket with a screw before connecting the ST fibre cable.

What maintenance or replacement will the AT-2711FX need over time?

The ST connector and fibre patch cord are the only parts that may need cleaning or replacement if signal loss appears; the card itself has no moving parts or fan to service.

What limit appears first when the AT-2711FX runs at full 100Base-FX load for long periods?

The 100 Mbps fibre link saturates before the PCI Express x1 bus, so sustained throughput tops out at the 100Base-FX line rate.
