Product Description - RFL 3000 4K24 Switches
RFL 3000 4K24 Switches boost the performance of large Ethernet LANs, with
the flexibility of both twisted-pair switched ports and fiber ports. Fiber ports may
number zero, one or two, and may be configured from a variety of user-selected popular
fiber connectors. The RFL 3000 4K24’s provide the switching speed and the reliability to
support multiple workgroups, each with its own switched 100Mbps or 10Mbps domain,
for increased network performance and with “future-proof” fiber up-link ports built in.
The RFL 3000 24-port 4K24F Switches offer application flexibility with a series
of optional fiber connector types. All applicable fiber port connector types (100Mbps FX-
ST, SC, MTRJ) along with multi-mode, single and “long-haul” capability are
configurable using a family of one- or two -port modules . Optional fiber ports are
normally configured and tested with the RFL 3000 4K24F unit in the factory, but may be
configured in the field. The 22 copper RJ-45 ports are dual speed 10/100 Mb auto-
negotiating. The model 4K24C has 24 twisted-pair ports and no fiber -built-in options.
Designed for use in departments with multiple workgroups, in remote offices and
in network traffic centers or multi-system power users, the RFL 3000 4K24F and 4k24C
Switches are easy to install and use. Addresses of attached nodes are automatically
learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network changes and
expansions. Front-mounted LEDs provide status information on each port. The RFL 3000
4K-Series Switches provide high performance plug-and-play operation in convenient
rack-mount packages.
The RFL 3000 4K24F and 4K24C switches are non-blocking on all ports and
include 1MB packet buffers and a 2K-node address table for advanced performance as
well as to support large networks. The RFL 3000 4K-Series Switches, with store-and-
forward switching, filter all faulty packets to minimize traffic congestion.

RFL 3000 4K24F and 4K24C Switch chassis
RFL 3000 4K24F and 4K24C Switches come in a 24-port rack-mountable chassis.
The optional fiber port is user configurable and can be selected from the offered popular
fiber port connector types. The fiber-port modules are normally factory installed. (See
Section 5)
