Product Description
The 3Com 3C16826 is an expansion module that provides a single Gigabit Interface Converter (GBIC) port. GBIC is an older standard for Gigabit Ethernet transceivers, which allows for flexible connectivity options. This module is designed to be installed in compatible 3Com switches, enabling them to offer Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The GBIC port allows for the insertion of various GBIC transceivers, such as SX for short-range multimode fiber or LX for long-range single-mode fiber, providing flexibility in network design. This module is typically used to add high-speed uplink capabilities to a switch, connecting it to a network backbone or another switch at Gigabit speeds. It can also be used to connect high-bandwidth servers or storage devices. The single-port design makes it suitable for scenarios where only one Gigabit connection is needed to upgrade an existing switch's capabilities. The 3C16826 module offers a straightforward and cost-effective way to introduce Gigabit Ethernet connectivity into a network infrastructure. Its compatibility with a range of GBIC transceivers ensures that it can be adapted to different network topologies and distances, making it a versatile addition to 3Com networking equipment.
