3Com 3CB9LF10MC Corebuilder 9000 10 x Ports 10/100BFX Switch Module

Product Description

The 3Com 3CB9LF10MC is a high-density switch module specifically designed for integration into the 3Com Corebuilder 9000 modular switching platform. This module equips the chassis with ten dedicated 10/100Base-FX ports, enabling Fast Ethernet connectivity over multimode fiber optic cabling. The 10/100Base-FX standard allows for network connections at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, providing flexibility for devices with varying bandwidth requirements, while the fiber optic medium offers immunity to electromagnetic interference and extended reach compared to copper cabling. This module is ideal for environments where a significant number of devices need to be connected via fiber, such as in industrial settings, campus networks, or large office buildings where longer cable runs or a more robust physical layer are necessary. The use of multimode fiber (MMF) with SC connectors makes it suitable for moderate distances, typically up to 2 kilometers, depending on the fiber grade. The high port density of ten ports per module allows for efficient utilization of chassis slots and cost-effective deployment of numerous fiber-based network connections. As part of the Corebuilder 9000 system, the 3CB9LF10MC benefits from the chassis's advanced features, including high availability, scalability, and centralized management. This module contributes to the overall capacity and flexibility of the Corebuilder 9000, enabling network administrators to build robust and adaptable network infrastructures. It serves as a critical component for extending network reach and connecting end-user devices or smaller network segments through a reliable fiber optic infrastructure.
