Product Description
The 3Com 3C16842 is a Gigabit Ethernet expansion module specifically designed for the 3Com 4005 modular switch chassis. This module provides two ports that comply with the 1000Base-SX standard, which is used for Gigabit Ethernet transmission over multi-mode fiber optic cables. The 1000Base-SX standard typically operates at a wavelength of 850nm and supports distances up to 550 meters, making it suitable for intra-building or campus network connections. Each of the two ports on this module accepts an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver. This allows for flexibility in choosing the appropriate SFP module based on the specific fiber type and distance requirements. The module is ideal for creating high-speed uplinks from the 4005 switch to a core network or for providing direct Gigabit Ethernet connectivity to servers or other high-bandwidth devices. By incorporating the 3C16842 module, network administrators can enhance the performance and capacity of their 3Com 4005 switching infrastructure. It enables the transition to faster network speeds, supporting the growing demands of modern applications and data traffic within enterprise environments.
