Gigabit ExpressCard debuts

Small Tree Communications today debuted the first Gigabit Ethernet 34mm ExpressCard for the Apple's MacBook Pro. The PEG34m provides throughput and connectivity at speeds up to 100 times faster than the original Ethernet, according to the company. It has a unique foldable RJ-45 connector and is the thinnest ExpressCard on the market today. "The PEG34m provides MacBook Pro owners with a second fully functional Gigabit network for applications such as large file transfer and sharing," the company said. "Working in conjunction with the computer’s built-in Gigabit Ethernet port the PEG34m supports 802.3ad link aggregation and Jumbo frames up to 9000MTU." The Small Tree PEG34m offers high-performance Gigabit connectivity for $80 and is specifically designed to plug into a MacBook Pro (as well as other Windows desktop or laptop systems) equipped with an ExpressCard 34mm slot.
