Intel 657452-001 Network Card PCI Ethernet Interface Adapter

Intel 657452-001 Network Card PCI Ethernet Interface Adapter

This Intel PCI network card is a legacy Ethernet interface adapter designed for desktop and tower computers of the 1990s and early 2000s era. The 657452-001 is a standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet NIC that connects via the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) expansion slot, the dominant internal interface standard for that generation of systems. Network cards of this type were essential components in any computer requiring wired network connectivity, and many remain functional in legacy system maintenance, retro computing, and repair scenarios.
