3CFSU08-ME Overview
Features & Benefits:
Compact, Streamlined, Affordable Switching for Small Offices.
The 3Com® Switch 8 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. Featuring an internal power supply, autosensing and auto MDI/MDIX on all ports, the Switch 8 is delivered in a futuristic, compact and streamlined enclosure. With a high quality dark gun metal grey look these switches exude quality, the 3Com logos "light up" on power up and they feature illuminating blue LEDs.
The 3Com Switch 8 automatically finds the fastest connection speed, the autosensing 10/100 ports automatically adjust to the speed of network devices communicating at 100 or 10 Mbps, so the switch can accommodate a range of workgroup applications. 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 fan-less design which provides silent operation. With a choice of 8 ports you can expand your network by adding more computers or devices with speeds up to 200 Mbps per port in full-duplex mode.
For the most cost conscious, the 3Com Switch 8 offers high-speed, high-quality, reliable, affordable networking with a style that will accommodate any office environment and is backed by an outstanding 2-year warranty.
For those requiring smaller port counts a 5 port version of this switch is available, the Switch 5. Furthermore for situations where 10/100/1000 connectivity is required 5 and 8 port Gigabit versions of this switch are available, the 3Com Gigabit Switch 5 and 3Com Gigabit Switch 8 respectively.
- Auto-speed sensing 10/100 Mbps connectivity. Enables connection at 100 Mbps and 10 Mbps, ensuring optimum throughput for bandwidth intensive applications and compatibility with legacy equipment.
- Full-duplex support of your network. Allows full, two-way data transfer, doubling the effective bandwidth.
- FCC Class B certified. Certified for home and office use (more stringent than Class A certification).
- Auto MDI/MDIX on every port. Eliminates most common cabling problems, whether the port is connected to a server, PC, another switch or hub.
- Front panel LEDs. Provides immediate notification of network use without requiring special technical knowledge.
- Operating system independence. Supports maximum integration of different operating systems within a network-no extra configuration of the network is required.
- Plug-and-Play convenience. For hassle-free installation, simple setup, no complicated configuration is required.
- Silent operation. No-fan design ensures there is no noise disturbance from the switches.
