SmartSwitch Modules
The 8H02-16, 2E42-27, 2E42-27R, 2E43-27, and
2E43-27R SmartSwitch Modules are all high
performance Ethernet switching devices that
provide Fast Ethernet uplinks.
The 8H02-16 is a 16-port device having 14
standard 10Base-T front panel ports that are
supported by RJ-45 connectors and two 100Base-
TX or multi-mode fiber 100Base-FX uplinks using
Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules.
The 2E42-27 and 2E42-27R devices expand the
capabilities of the 8H02-16 by providing 27 ports
including 24 standard Ethernet ports with RJ-45
connectors, two slots for Fast Ethernet Port
Interface Modules, and one slot for a High Speed
Interface Module to provide a high-speed ATM
uplink or FDDI connectivity. The 2E42-27 has a
single power supply and the 2E42-27R has dual
redundant power supplies.
The 2E43-27 and 2E43-27R provide the same
feature set as the 2E42-27 and 2E42-27R but
come equipped with two RJ21 connectors to
support 24 ports of switched Ethernet rather than
