3Com 3C13888 1 x Port E3/CE3 Flexible Interface Card Module

Description

The 3Com 3C13888 is a specialized interface module, identified as a Flexible Interface Card (FIC), designed to equip compatible 3Com modular networking equipment with E3 or CE3 connectivity. These interface standards define specific data rates (34 Mbps for E3 and 45 Mbps for CE3) commonly employed in wide area network (WAN) deployments, particularly for high-capacity leased lines or trunking. This single-port card allows for the direct integration of such specialized serial connections into a larger modular switching or routing system. This module is crucial for organizations that require dedicated, high-throughput serial links for critical applications. It can be utilized for connecting to telecommunications providers, establishing high-speed links between geographically dispersed sites, or interfacing with legacy systems that rely on E3/CE3 signaling. The card's design prioritizes stability and performance, ensuring reliable data transmission over these important connections. By offering the 3C13888 as a modular component, 3Com provides network administrators with the flexibility to add E3/CE3 capabilities precisely when and where they are needed within their modular infrastructure. This approach simplifies network architecture, reduces the need for separate, standalone devices, and allows for efficient use of chassis slots. It represents a targeted solution for specific high-speed serial connectivity requirements in enterprise networks.
