3Com 0231A47Q 48 x Ports 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Interface Module

Product Description

The 3Com 0231A47Q is a high-density Fast Ethernet interface module designed to equip compatible 3Com switches with a substantial number of 10/100Base-TX ports. With a total of 48 ports, this module is engineered to serve environments requiring extensive connectivity for end-user devices such as workstations, IP phones, printers, and other network-enabled peripherals operating at Fast Ethernet speeds. Each of the 48 ports utilizes the standard RJ-45 connector, ensuring broad compatibility with common Ethernet cabling (Cat5e or better). The module supports both half-duplex and full-duplex modes, allowing for efficient data transfer and optimal network performance. Auto-negotiation capabilities ensure that connected devices automatically establish the highest possible speed and duplex settings, simplifying network configuration. This interface module is a cost-effective solution for expanding the capacity of existing 3Com network infrastructure, particularly in scenarios where Gigabit speeds are not required for all end devices. It is well-suited for workgroup segmentation, access layer connectivity in enterprise networks, or any situation demanding a large number of reliable Fast Ethernet connections. The 0231A47Q provides a straightforward way to increase port count and support a growing number of connected devices.
