3C16790C-US Overview
Seamless 10/100 Ethernet Switching
Easily expand your network by adding more computers or devices with speeds up to 200 Mbps per port in full-duplex mode using the 3Com® OfficeConnect® Fast Ethernet Switch 5.
The Fast Ethernet Switch 5 is designed for small offices and remote branch offices requiring high network performance to exchange large data files and images, and access real-time information.
Part of the 3Com Green initiative, this OfficeConnect switch has one of the smallest form factors in the industry, and with its low power consumption, minimizes the carbon footprint.
This switch automatically finds the fastest connection speed, with the autosensing 10/100 ports automatically adjusting to the speed of network devices communicating at 100 or 10 Mbps, so the switch can accommodate a range of workgroup applications. Automatic MDI/MDIX on every port simplifies network expansion by eliminating most common cabling errors. All that is needed is to connect the power and Ethernet cables.
There is no software to configure. Easy to set up, these switches feature a fanless design which provides silent operation.
- Five autosensing ports automatically detect the speed of the attached device to maximize network performance
