The 3Com 3C17304A 28 port Ethernet switch combines wire-speed Layer 2 switching with easy installation and exceptional reliability. Twenty-four auto-sensing 10/100 copper ports provide flexible desktop and workgroup attachments, while two auto-sensing 10/100/1000 copper uplink ports support stacking or Gigabit connections, and two flexible SFP expansion slots enable an additional choice of fiber or copper Gigabit Ethernet backbone and server connections.
Resiliency features such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol and link aggregation (for the 10/100/1000 ports) help ensure uptime. Built-in Gigabit ports can be used as uplinks or for stacking with a mix of other Switch 4200 26, 28, and 50 Port units.
