OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE

Customer must contact 3Com’s Corporate Service Center or an Authorized 3Com Service Center within the applicable warranty period to obtain warranty service authorization. Dated proof of purchase may be required. Products returned to 3Com’s Corporate Service Center must be pre-authorized by 3Com with a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number marked on the outside of the package, and sent prepaid and packaged appropriately for safe shipment, and it is recommended that they be insured. The repaired or replaced item will be shipped to Customer, at 3Com’s expense, not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the defective product by 3Com.

Dead- or Defective-on-Arrival.In the event a product completely fails to function or exhibits a defect in materials or workmanship within the first forty-eight (48) hours of installation but no later than thirty (30) days after the date of purchase, and this is verified by 3Com, it will be considered dead- or defective-on-arrival (DOA) and a replacement shall be provided by advance replacement. The replacement product will normally be shipped not later than three (3) business days after 3Com’s verification of the DOA product, but may be delayed due to export or import procedures. When an advance replacement is provided and Customer fails to return the defective product to 3Com within fifteen (15) days after shipment of the replacement, 3Com will charge Customer for the replacement product, at list price.

3Com shall not be responsible for any software, firmware, information, or memory data of Customer contained in, stored on, or integrated with any products returned to 3Com for repair, whether under warranty or not.

INCLUDING WARRANTIES, TERMS, OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

 

PURPOSE, AND SATISFACTORY QUALITY. 3COM NEITHER ASSUMES NOR AUTHORIZES ANY OTHER

 

PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION,

 

MAINTENANCE OR USE OF ITS PRODUCTS.

 

3COM SHALL NOT BE LIABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY IF ITS TESTING AND EXAMINATION DISCLOSE THAT

 

THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT DOES NOT EXIST OR WAS CAUSED BY CUSTOMER’S OR ANY

 

THIRD PERSON'S MISUSE, NEGLECT, IMPROPER INSTALLATION OR TESTING, UNAUTHORIZED ATTEMPTS TO

 

REPAIR OR MODIFY, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE BEYOND THE RANGE OF THE INTENDED USE, OR BY

 

ACCIDENT, FIRE, LIGHTNING, OR OTHER HAZARD.

 

 

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, 3COM ALSO EXCLUDES FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUPPLIERS ANY

 

LIABILITY, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), FOR INCIDENTAL,

OR PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF INFORMATION OR DATA, OR OTHER FINANCIAL LOSS ARISING

 

OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE, USE, PERFORMANCE,

 

FAILURE, OR INTERRUPTION OF ITS PRODUCTS, EVEN IF 3COM OR ITS AUTHORIZED RESELLER HAS BEEN

 

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND LIMITS ITS LIABILITY TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT,

 

OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID, AT 3COM’S OPTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY FOR

 

DAMAGES WILL NOT BE AFFECTED IF ANY REMEDY PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL

 

PURPOSE.

 

 

DISCLAIMER

Some countries, states, or provinces do not allow the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or the

 

limitation of incidental or consequential damages for certain products supplied to consumers or the

 

limitation of liability for personal injury, so the above limitations and exclusions may be limited in their

 

application to you. When the implied warranties are not allowed to be excluded in their entirety, they will

 

be limited to the duration of the applicable written warranty. This warranty gives you specific legal rights

 

which may vary depending on local law.

 

 

GOVERNING LAW

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.
