3Com 3C17508TAA-US 360Gb/s TAA Compliant Fabric Module for 8800 Switch

Product Description

The 3Com 3C17508TAA-US is a critical component for the 3Com 8800 Switch, serving as its primary fabric module. This module is engineered to deliver an impressive aggregate switching capacity of 360 Gigabits per second (Gb/s), which is fundamental for supporting high-density, high-speed data traffic within large enterprise networks, data centers, and service provider environments. The fabric module acts as the central high-speed interconnect, enabling all ports on the switch to communicate with each other at maximum throughput without contention. A key feature of this specific model is its TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance. This designation is crucial for U.S. government agencies and contractors who are required to procure products that are manufactured in TAA-designated countries. The 'TAA-US' suffix explicitly indicates that this module meets these stringent procurement requirements, making it suitable for use in government-funded projects and secure network deployments. By providing a massive 360Gb/s switching fabric, the 3C17508TAA-US ensures that the 8800 Switch can handle demanding network loads, including large file transfers, high-volume transaction processing, and extensive multimedia streaming. Its integration is vital for maintaining the performance, scalability, and compliance needs of modern, mission-critical network infrastructures.
