3Com 0231A47N 20 x Ports 100Base-FX Fast Ethernet Switch Interface Module

Product Description

The 3Com 0231A47N is a high-density Fast Ethernet switch interface module that offers twenty ports operating over 100Base-FX fiber optic connections. This module is designed to be installed in compatible 3Com modular switch chassis, providing a robust solution for extending network connectivity over longer distances or in environments where electrical interference is a concern. The use of fiber optics ensures reliable data transmission and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Each of the twenty ports utilizes the 100Base-FX standard, delivering a data rate of 100 Mbps, suitable for Fast Ethernet requirements. The SC duplex connector is a common standard for fiber optic connections, ensuring a secure and stable link. This module is particularly valuable for connecting numerous end devices such as workstations, IP phones, or access points to the network backbone via fiber, especially in campus environments, industrial settings, or large office buildings. With its high port density, the 0231A47N allows network administrators to significantly increase the number of fiber-connected devices supported by a single switch chassis. This modular approach provides flexibility and scalability, enabling organizations to tailor their network infrastructure to specific needs. The module integrates seamlessly with the switch's management interface, allowing for configuration and monitoring of all twenty ports.
