Features & Benefits

High-Density Managed Gigabit Switching

The 3Com® SuperStack® 3 Switch 3848 is ideal for Gigabit to the desktop applications in high performance workgroups. As the basis for a future-proof Enterprise workgroup environment, with compatibility with slower desktop connections, it can be the platform to support a gradual move to Gigabit speeds.

Forty-eight auto-sensing 10/100/1000 copper ports provide flexible wirespeed desktop and workgroup attachments, which can ease migration for environments with a mix of 10/100 and Gigabit-enabled desktops and servers. Four dual-purpose slots support SFPs that can connect to fiber cabling for flexible Gigabit Ethernet backbone and server connections.

Resiliency features such as IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol and IEEE 802.3ad link aggregation (LACP) help ensure uptime and availability.

Enterprise-class security features include IEEE 802.1X network login, SSH/SSL encrypted device log-in, and access control lists.

For a scalable, stackable, future-proof Gigabit switching solution incorporating all of the above features, the SuperStack 3 Switch 3870 48-Port is recommended.
