Eaton Gigabit Network Card

The Eaton Gigabit Network Card (Network-M3) is Eaton’s latest UPS connectivity device that provides IT professionals with enhanced management and cybersecurity capabilities.

With a zero-trust architecture and compatibility with powerful automation and remote and on-site management tools, the Gigabit Network Card boosts the performance and uptime of your critical business systems. The Gigabit Network Card earned cybersecurity certifications obtained from independent authorities (UL 2900-1 and IEC 62443- 4-2), and it improves power system reliability by providing warnings of pending issues to administrators and helping to perform orderly graceful shutdown of servers and storage.

The Gigabit Network Card is compatible with multiple Eaton power management software solutions, allowing extensive automation and remote management and control that shortens response times to power issues. It gives IT managers actionable intelligence for proactively addressing power problems before they turn into downtime, and for maximizing the efficiency of their power operations.
