Transceivers
OVERVIEW
3Com
®
transceivers are industry-standard, hot-swappable devices that
plug into a Fast, Gigabit, or 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver slot, linking
it with a fiber- or copper-based network.
KEY BENEFITS
ADD CONNECTIONS AS NEEDED
Mix different media types of transceivers on a single switch; add
connections, in the number and type, as needed (within limits of
the applicable switch).
LEVERAGE INTEROPERABLE ARCHITECTURE
Compliant with IEEE standards, 3Com transceivers provide full
interoperability when connected to other standards-based products.
ADAPT WITH VARIETY OF FORM FACTORS
3Com transceivers are available in different form factors: XENPAK,
XFP, SFP, and GBIC.
EASILY SERVICE AND SWAP HARDWARE
Transceivers can be hot-swapped, reducing maintenance and upgrading
costs and network downtime. No need to replace entire circuit boards
containing several soldered-in modules.
