Product Description
The 3Com 3C17261-US is a specialized expansion module engineered to enhance the connectivity options of the 3Com 5500G-EI series of Ethernet switches. This module specifically adds a single 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, utilizing the 10GBase-SR standard. This standard is optimized for high-speed data transmission over short distances using multi-mode fiber optic cables, typically up to 300 meters with OM3 fiber or 400 meters with OM4 fiber. The module employs SFP+ (Small Form-factor Pluggable Plus) interfaces, which are industry-standard for 10GbE connectivity, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of transceivers. By incorporating the 3C17261-US module, network administrators can easily upgrade their existing 3Com 5500G-EI switches to support high-bandwidth applications. This is particularly beneficial for creating high-speed uplinks to core network devices, connecting servers that require significant data throughput, or establishing high-performance links between switches in a data center environment. The module is designed for seamless integration, often supporting plug-and-play functionality, which simplifies deployment and minimizes network downtime. This expansion module is a cost-effective way to boost network performance and scalability without requiring a complete replacement of the switch infrastructure. It allows organizations to adapt their network to meet the growing demands for bandwidth driven by virtualization, cloud computing, and rich media applications. The 10GBase-SR standard offers a balance of speed and cost-effectiveness for intra-building or campus network connections.
