3Com® Baseline Switches

Wide-Ranging Unmanaged Family Plug-and-Play Unmanaged Operation

Small to mid-sized businesses looking for a switched LAN with or without high- speed uplinks, or a low cost, high-performance Gigabit network, will find an affordable solution with the family of 3Com® Baseline switches, designed for plug-and-play network operation.

10/100 Switching with Legacy Support

3Com Baseline Switch 2016 and 2024 are ideal for businesses with legacy Ethernet desktops that want to start a network.

Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) support easily handles higher speed desktop and office server connections.

10/100 Switching, Gigabit Uplinks

For businesses ready to step up their network performance, the 3Com Baseline Switch 2226 and 2250 offer 10/100 switching with two high-speed dual purpose ports that can be used either as 10/100/1000 for fixed copper connections, or fiber connections utilizing two Gigabit SFP (Small Form-Factor Plug-in or mini- GBIC) transceiver slots that accommodate any standard 1000BASE-LX or -SX trans- ceiver module.

High-Performance 10/100/1000 Switching

For top performance, the 3Com Baseline 10/100/1000 Switch 8-port and Baseline Switch 2816 and 2824 deliver wirespeed Gigabit throughput and a switching capacity of up to 48 Gbps to handle the most bandwidth-hungry applications.

3Com Baseline switches operate straight out of the box, with no configuration required. Auto MDI/MDIX ports identify and adapt to the Ethernet cable type, eliminating the most common cabling errors and simplifying installation. Autosensing ports detect and adjust to the speed of the connected device to optimize network performance.

Advanced Switching Features

IEEE 802.1p Class-of-Service (CoS) traffic prioritization makes sure that real-time applications such as video and audio take priority so they run effectively, and enable the switches to operate in larger networks.

Rack-Mounted or Free-Standing Configuration

Small-business configurations can vary, so the switches are designed to operate as a free-standing or rack-mounted switch with included mounting kit. The standard 19-inch, one rack-unit-high (1 RU) enclo- sure optimizes valuable office space.

Top Reliability with Limited Lifetime Warranty

Sturdy design and construction pays off in high reliability and long service life. Limited Lifetime hardware warranty and Advance Hardware Replacement* provide peace of mind long after deployment.
