3Com Switch 8800 48 Port 1000Base T Module

This module delivers forty eight ports of high performance Gigabit Ethernet switching over Category 5 twisted pair cable. Switch 8800 modules support on board or local Layers 234 switching, allowing packets to remain local to the module, which reduces backplane and switch fabric loading. This reduces congestion in the network minimizing packet loss, to enable applications to run faster across the network. The reduction in latencies will improve the quality of video and voice traffic across the network.
