Breakthrough pricing for 10/100BASE-TX switching in a compact 1U package. The 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 3300 XM switch lets you connect Ethernet/Fast Ethernet switches, Fast Ethernet hubs, and Gigabit Ethernet devices in a truly stackable solution. Part of 3Com's family of fixed-configuration, stackable SuperStack 3 Switch 3300s. The switch provides 24 switched autosensing 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports for higher-density networking. Mix and match any SuperStack II Switch 1100s or SuperStack 3 Switch 3300s in one stack, or stack them together using a matrix cable for two units. For three or four units, use the matrix module (installed in a SuperStack II Switch 1100 or SuperStack 3 Switch 3300) or the SuperStack 3 Switch 3300 MM. Features: Support for IEEE 802.1p and 802.1Q standards enables packet prioritization and standards-based VLANs, enhancing multimedia support and improving data throughput. Fault-tolerance features for mission-critical environments include resilient links, Spanning Tree support, and SuperStack 3 advanced redundant power systems. Intelligent Flow Management (IFM) and 802.3x flow control prevent packet loss and improve performance under heavy load conditions, even with demanding applications like video multicasts and real-time data feeds.
