Introduction

17-Port Modular Fast Ethernet Switch

High Port Count

The 17-Port Switch is a modular switch consisting of three expansion slots: two for 8- port 10/100BaseTX/FX module, and one for 1-port 10/100BaseTX or 100BaseFX module. This allows the switch to provide up to 17 ports when all the three slots are fit with modules.

Cost-Effective Migration

The 17-Port Switch is capable of integrating legacy 10Mbps networks with 100Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. In addition, the 17-Port Switch provides an easy and affordable solution for migrating from copper cabling to fiber connection when it is equipped with suitable modules to provide both TX and FX ports.

Flexibility through Modules

Seeing fiber connection become popular while the fiber cabling in small business environment is still not widespread, the 17-Port Switch is designed to deliver flexibility through a wide variety of TX and FX modules. Most of the modules combine TX and FX ports to provide more customization options.

<NOTE> Desired module shall be ordered separately.

Fiber-Connectivity

As a Fast Ethernet switch, the 17-Port Switch is specifically designed to meet the demanding need for fiber. The switch provides up to 17 ports for 100BaseFX, multi- mode or single-mode fiber. For multi-mode fiber port, it allows SC, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45 or LC connector. For single-mode fiber port, it allows SC or ST connector. The fiber ports allow maximum segment distance of 120 km when using single-mode fiber, and therefore, the 17-Port Fiber Switch is an optimum solution for long distance connection.

Basic Configuration Features

The 17-Port Switch supports port-based Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN) and MAC-based trunking technologies. Such advanced features bring network administrators a powerful yet easy-to-use tool to reduce unnecessary traffic, efficiently segment the network, and enhance network security.

Standards Compliant

The 17-Port Switch fully complies with IEEE802.3 10BaseT as well as IEEE802.3u 100BaseTX/FX standards.
