A network switch card, enables efficient data management within a Local Area Network (LAN). This card integrates switch functionalities, directing data to specific devices, thereby enhancing the speed and efficiency of network traffic. It is used to connect computers, servers, and other devices through Ethernet protocols, providing high-speed connections like Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet. Network switch cards are crucial for optimizing local networks, reducing congestion, and improving data throughput.
