SWITCH 4060 DATA SHEET
4
The 3Com Switch 4060, based on a
3Com-developed ASIC architecture,
delivers 56 Gbps multilayer switching
capacity for bandwidth-intensive core
backbones and demanding enterprise
applications. Each switch delivers
non-blocking Layer 2 and Layer 3
switching across all ports, forwarding
at speeds in excess of 40 Mpps.
Many Gigabit backbones require mul-
timode and single mode fiber for
connectivity to distributed wiring
closets or buildings, and copper
cabling for high bandwidth connec-
tions to servers and hosts in the data
center.
The 3Com Switch 4060 delivers inte-
grated media flexibility by providing
twelve 1000BASE-SX ports, six GBIC
ports (normally used for campus
backbone connectivity), and six
10/100/1000 ports that let servers
connect directly to the switch.
In addition, using link aggregation,
the Switch 4060 can be connected to
an external server farm aggregation
device like the 3Com SuperStack
®
3
Switch 4924. An optional expansion
slot accommodates a 4-port Gigabit
module for even greater flexibility.
