3Com 3C168915TAA-US 48 x Ports SFP (mini-GBIC) Switch Module

Product Description

The 3Com 3C168915TAA-US is a high-capacity switch module engineered to deliver extensive Gigabit Ethernet connectivity through 48 SFP (mini-GBIC) ports. This module is designed for integration into 3Com's modular switch platforms, providing a dense aggregation point for network traffic. Each of the 48 ports can accommodate an SFP transceiver, allowing for flexible deployment of fiber optic or copper connections, although it is primarily geared towards fiber for its typical use cases in enterprise environments. This module is ideal for scenarios requiring a large number of high-speed links, such as in the core or distribution layers of a network, or for connecting numerous servers in a data center. The use of SFP (mini-GBIC) transceivers means that network administrators can choose the appropriate type of transceiver based on distance requirements (e.g., short-range multimode fiber, long-range single-mode fiber) and media type. This flexibility is crucial for adapting to diverse network topologies and future growth. The 3C168915TAA-US contributes significantly to building scalable and high-performance networks. Its modular design ensures that it can be easily installed, replaced, or upgraded within a compatible chassis, supporting the high availability requirements of modern enterprise IT infrastructure. With 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this module offers substantial bandwidth and connectivity for demanding network environments.
