Affordable High Performance for Small Offices with Big Demands
Small offices can be demanding environments too. The 3Com® OfficeConnect® Gigabit Switch 16 is designed for small or remote branch offices that need to run bandwidth-intensive video or multimedia applications, and connect to high-speed servers or a high-speed network backbone. Use it to upgrade an existing hub or switch when you get a high-requirement Gigabit speed workstation and you'll be able to continue servicing your other connections at their current speeds. And you'll be ready for the future.
The sixteen-port gigabit switch is powerful, as well as reliable and simple to install and operate. Plug-and-play convenience means the switch works right out of the box with no configuration or management required. Each of the sixteen non-blocking, autosensing 10/100/1000 ports automatically adjusts to the speed of network devices communicating at 1000, 100, or 10 Mbps, so the switch can accommodate a range of workgroup applications. Additional features such as a clipping system for easier physical stacking, 802.1p traffic prioritization, and auto MDI/MDIX on every port make this economical switch a real networking value. And it's backed by a 3Com 3 Year Hardware Warranty with advanced hardware replacement.
Sixteen non-blocking, autosensing 10/100/1000 ports can be used as ultra high-speed links to servers or power users, or to connect the rest of the network through a central high-speed switch for bandwidth-intensive operations
With plug-and-play installation and no configuration needed, it fits easily in your unmanaged network
Auto MDI-MDIX on every port simplifies network expansion by eliminating most common cabling errors whether the port is connected to a server, PC, or another switch or hub
802.1p traffic prioritization ensures that real-time programs such as video and audio applications take priority so they can run effectively
Compact, fanless design ensures quiet operation in small office spacesFull-duplex feature supports two-way data transfer, doubling the effective bandwidth of the network
Connectors at rear help reduce cable clutter
FCC Class B switch is approved for use in home office and small office environments
Operating system independence helps ensure the seamless integration of different operating systems within your network, with no additional configuration required.
