3Com 3C17711 SuperStack III 4900 4 x Ports 1000Base-T Expansion Module

Product Description

The 3Com 3C17711 is an expansion module specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of the 3Com SuperStack III 4900 series of network switches. This module introduces four high-performance Gigabit Ethernet ports, each supporting the 1000Base-T standard. These ports are crucial for upgrading network infrastructure to handle increased bandwidth demands, providing faster uplinks to the core network or direct, high-speed connections to servers and other bandwidth-intensive devices. By adding these four Gigabit Ethernet ports, the 3C17711 module significantly boosts the overall throughput of the SuperStack III 4900 switch. This allows for more efficient data transfer, reduced latency, and improved performance for applications that require substantial network capacity, such as large file transfers, video streaming, and high-performance computing. The module supports full-duplex operation on all ports, doubling the potential bandwidth for each connection. Installation of the 3C17711 module is designed to be straightforward, typically involving a simple plug-and-play process within a compatible SuperStack III 4900 chassis. This ease of deployment minimizes network downtime and allows organizations to quickly leverage the benefits of Gigabit Ethernet speeds. It represents a cost-effective way to expand the capabilities of existing switch infrastructure without requiring a complete hardware replacement.
