Description
The 3Com 3C17260 is an expansion module specifically built for the 3Com Switch 5500G-EI family of switches. This module adds eight Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-X) ports to the switch chassis, significantly increasing its capacity for high-speed network connections. The 1000Base-X interface utilizes Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, allowing for flexible deployment with various fiber optic or copper media types, depending on the specific network requirements and distances involved. This module is ideal for environments that require robust Gigabit connectivity, such as connecting high-performance servers, providing high-speed uplinks to other network segments, or supporting bandwidth-intensive applications. By offering eight dedicated Gigabit ports, the 3C17260 enhances the overall throughput and performance of the Switch 5500G-EI, making it suitable for enterprise networks, data centers, and demanding workgroup environments. The 3Com 3C17260 module allows organizations to scale their network infrastructure efficiently by adding high-density Gigabit ports to their existing switch chassis. This modular approach provides a cost-effective way to upgrade network capabilities without replacing the entire switch, ensuring flexibility and adaptability for future network growth and evolving technological demands.
