Features and Benefits

Feature	Benefit
Powerful, Advanced Switching
Gigabit performance (3C16475A, 3C16476A,	Connect to servers and desktops running at 10, 100, or 1000 Mbps. 48 Gbps switching
3C16477, 3C16478, 3C16479)	capacity supports highest speed servers and desktops without additional network investment.
Optional SFP transceiver module support	Baseline Switch 2226 and Switch 2250 include two Gigabit SFP transceiver slots that support
(3C16478, 3C16479)	multimode shortwave fiber (1000BASE-SX) or multimode longwave fiber (1000BASE-LX)
	connections. Mix and match SFP transceivers for media support flexibility.
Non-blocking performance	Baseline switches operate at full wirespeed on all ports, delivering unimpeded access to
	networked resources.
IEEE 802.1p traffic prioritization	Allow networks to run real-time multimedia applications more effectively by reserving
(priority queuing) and CoS support	bandwidth for time-sensitive video, audio, and voice traffic.
Cost-effective 10/100/1000 connections	Range of port densities provides expansion for growing small businesses at a very affordable
	price per port.
Simple Installation and Use
Auto MDI/MDIX ports	Simplify installation by eliminating common cabling errors, automatically detecting the type of
	Ethernet cable used—straight-through or crossover.
Pre-configured setup	Makes sure that switches work "right out of the box" with no configuration or management
	software needed.
Easy-to-read front panel LEDs	Give at-a-glance status and network information to simplify diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Consistent form factor	Clean design, standard 1RU enclosure optimizes rack space.
Reliable
Sturdy, dependable design	3Com delivers premium-quality, reliable networking products that stay up and running year
	after year.
Complete, market-leading support package	Limited Lifetime hardware warranty, including fan and power supply, provides peace of mind.
	90-day free telephone support and unlimited web support is there when you need it. Advance
	Hardware Replacement means that on a rare occasion of a faulty unit, 3Com will send you a
	replacement unit before you send the faulty unit back for repair.
