Product Description
The 3Com 3C16862 is a high-density expansion module designed specifically for the 3Com 7700 Series of modular switches. This module equips the switch chassis with 20 Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) ports, also commonly known as mini-GBIC (Gigabit Interface Converter) ports. These ports provide immense flexibility, allowing network administrators to install a wide variety of SFP transceivers to support different types of network media, including various fiber optic cables (multi-mode and single-mode) and copper Ethernet connections. This expansion module is crucial for building scalable and adaptable network infrastructures. By providing 20 SFP ports, it significantly increases the connectivity options available on a single switch chassis, enabling efficient network aggregation, high-speed uplinks to core networks, or direct connections to end devices requiring specific media types. The ability to mix and match different SFP transceivers allows for tailored network designs to meet diverse connectivity needs. The 3C16862 is designed to be hot-swappable, meaning it can be installed or removed from the 7700 Series switch without requiring the system to be powered down. This feature is essential for maintaining network uptime and simplifying maintenance procedures in enterprise environments. It represents a key component for enhancing the versatility and capacity of 3Com's 7700 Series switching platforms.
