and associated reference materials. 3Com makes no warranty or representation that its software products

 

will meet Customer’s requirements or work in combination with any hardware or applications software

 

products provided by third parties, that the operation of the software products will be uninterrupted or

 

error free, or that all defects in the software products will be corrected. For any third party products listed

 

in the 3Com software product documentation or specifications as being compatible, 3Com will make

 

reasonable efforts to provide compatibility, except where the non-compatibility is caused by a “bug” or

 

defect in the third party's product.

 

 

 

 

 

YEAR 2000 WARRANTY

In addition to the Hardware Products Warranty and Software Products Warranty identified above, 3Com

 

warrants that all Heritage 3Com products sold or licensed to Customer on and after January 1, 1998 that

 

are date sensitive will continue performing properly with regard to such date data on and after January 1,

2000, provided that all other products used by Customer in connection or combination with the 3Com products, including hardware, software, and firmware, accurately exchange date data with the 3Com products, with the exception of those products identified at 3Com’s Web site, http://www.3com.com/products/yr2000.html, as not meeting this standard. A product is considered a “Heritage 3Com product” if it is a member of a product family which was manufactured by 3Com prior to its merger with US Robotics Corporation. This Year 2000 limited warranty does not apply to Heritage US Robotics Corporation products. If it appears that any such product does not perform properly with regard to such date data on and after January 1, 2000, and Customer notifies 3Com before the later of April 1, 2000, or ninety (90) days after purchase of the product from 3Com or its authorized reseller, 3Com shall, at its option and expense, provide a software update which would effect the proper performance of such product, repair such product, deliver to Customer an equivalent product to replace such product, or if none of the foregoing is feasible, refund to Customer the purchase price paid for such product.

Any software update or replaced or repaired product will carry a Year 2000 Warranty for ninety (90) days or until April 1, 2000, whichever is later.

1000BASE-SX specifications

The 3Com 1000BASE-SX is a pivotal technology in the fiber-optic networking landscape, offering high-speed data transfer capabilities that cater to various networking needs. As part of the Gigabit Ethernet standards set by IEEE 802.3, 1000BASE-SX is specifically designed for short-range applications, typically within local area networks (LANs). It utilizes multimode fiber optic cables to deliver data at speeds of up to 1 Gbps, making it ideal for environments that require efficient and fast data exchange.

One of the main features of 3Com 1000BASE-SX is its reliance on multimode fiber optic cables, which allows for the transmission of light signals with multiple paths, effectively enhancing bandwidth and distance capabilities. This technology supports distance ranges of up to 550 meters on OM2 multimode fiber and up to 300 meters on OM1 fiber, making it suitable for office buildings or campuses where networking equipment is located relatively close to one another. Given its limited range, 1000BASE-SX is best utilized in scenarios where high performance is necessary without the requirements for long-distance connections.

Another significant characteristic of the 3Com 1000BASE-SX technology is its wavelength. Operating at an 850 nm wavelength, the system utilizes vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) as a light source. VCSEL technology is favored for its efficiency and ability to provide low-cost, high-density connections, which aligns with the growing demand for robust networking solutions in modern enterprise environments.

In terms of compatibility and ease of integration, 3Com 1000BASE-SX interfaces seamlessly with Ethernet standards while also supporting various switching technologies. This versatility facilitates both the upgrade of existing networks and the construction of new, high-performance network infrastructures. Furthermore, it is backward-compatible with older Ethernet standards, allowing organizations to gradually transition to Gigabit Ethernet without the need for extensive infrastructure overhauls.

Lastly, 3Com’s adherence to industry standards ensures reliability and performance consistency across devices manufactured by different vendors, promoting interoperability. With an increasing reliance on data and the necessity for faster networking solutions, the 3Com 1000BASE-SX remains a significant choice for enterprises striving for efficiency in data traffic management and enhancing their overall network capabilities. Whether for corporate offices, educational institutions, or data centers, 3Com 1000BASE-SX offers a robust solution for the challenges of modern networking complexities.
