Product Description
The 3Com 3C16681 is a Fast Ethernet interface module designed to add a single 100Base-FX port to compatible 3Com network switches, particularly from the SuperStack series. This module enables the switch to connect to network segments or other devices using multi-mode fiber optic cabling, offering a more robust and longer-reach alternative to copper Ethernet for certain applications. The 100Base-FX standard operates at 100 Mbps, providing Fast Ethernet speeds. The module features an SC duplex connector, which is a common type for fiber optic connections, allowing for easy and secure attachment of fiber optic patch cords. It is designed for multi-mode fiber (MMF), which is typically used for shorter to medium distances within a building or campus environment. The typical reach for 100Base-FX over multi-mode fiber is up to 2 kilometers, making it suitable for connecting switches across different floors or buildings within close proximity. By providing a 100Base-FX port, the 3C16681 module allows network administrators to establish reliable fiber optic links for uplinks, inter-switch connections, or connections to fiber-enabled end devices. This enhances network resilience and performance, especially in environments where electromagnetic interference might affect copper cabling. It represents a cost-effective way to introduce fiber connectivity into existing 3Com network infrastructures.
