Feature Benefit
Powerful, Advanced Switching
Gigabit wirespeed performance, Connect to servers and desktops running at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. Migrate to servers and desktops running
48 Gbps switching capacity Gigabit speeds without additional network investment.
IEEE 802.1p prioritization CoS support Allows networks to run real-time multimedia applications more effectively by reserving bandwidth for
with two priority queues per port time-sensitive video, audio, and voice traffic.
Cost-effective Gigabit connections 16-port or 24-port density provide expansion for growing small businesses at a very affordable price per port.
Simple Installation and Use
Auto MDI/MDIX Simplifies installation by eliminating common cabling errors, automatically detecting the type of Ethernet cable
used (straight-through or crossover).
Pre-configured setup Switches work "right out of the box" with no configuration or management software needed.
Consistent form factor, clean design Standard 1RU box size optimizes rack space.
Easy-to-read front panel LEDs Front panel LED interface gives at-a-glance status and network information to simplify diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Reliable
Sturdy, dependable design 3Com delivers premium-quality, reliable networking products that stay up and running year after year.
Complete support package Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty, including fan and power supply, provides peace of mind. 90-day free
telephone support and unlimited web support is there when you need it.
