3Com 3C16875 7700 1 x Port 10GBase-X Ethernet Expansion Switch Module

Product Description

The 3Com 3C16875 is a specialized expansion module designed to equip the 3Com 7700 series modular switches with a high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet interface. This module provides a single 10GBase-X port, which is crucial for establishing high-bandwidth connections within a network infrastructure. It is typically used for uplinks to aggregation or core switches, connections to high-performance servers, or for linking to other network devices that require 10 Gbps throughput. The module supports the 10GBase-X standard, which implies compatibility with various fiber optic transceivers that fit into the XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form Factor Pluggable) form factor. This allows network administrators to choose the appropriate fiber type (e.g., multimode or single-mode) and reach (e.g., SR, LR) based on their specific deployment needs. The hot-swappable design ensures that the module can be installed or removed without interrupting the operation of the switch, facilitating upgrades and maintenance. By adding the 3C16875 module to a 3Com 7700 switch, organizations can significantly enhance their network's performance and capacity. It is an essential component for building robust and scalable networks that can handle increasing traffic demands, such as those found in enterprise data centers, large campus networks, or service provider environments. The module's single high-speed port provides a focused solution for critical high-bandwidth connectivity requirements.
