3Com 3C16889 48 x Ports 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet Switch Module

Product Description

The 3Com 3C16889 module is a powerful addition to 3Com's line of modular networking solutions, offering an impressive 48 ports of Fast Ethernet connectivity. This module is specifically designed to be integrated into 3Com's chassis-based switching platforms, allowing network administrators to easily scale their network infrastructure by adding significant port density. Each of the 48 ports supports auto-negotiation, enabling devices to automatically establish the optimal speed (10 or 100 Mbps) and duplex mode (half or full) for efficient communication. This module is ideal for environments requiring a large number of connections for end-user devices, such as enterprise workgroups, call centers, or high-density office deployments. It provides the necessary bandwidth for typical desktop applications, including internet access, file sharing, and internal communication. The 3C16889 ensures that each connected device receives dedicated bandwidth, contributing to overall network performance and responsiveness. By leveraging the modular design, organizations can customize their switching infrastructure to meet specific needs without replacing entire fixed-configuration switches. The 3C16889 represents a cost-effective way to expand network reach and accommodate growing numbers of connected devices, reinforcing 3Com's commitment to flexible and scalable networking solutions.
