Gigabit Switch. This high quality, Gigabit Ethernet Switch is
an easy, efficient way of creating a network or expanding
an existing network. The Switch’s Gigabit ports provide sup-
port for bandwidth intensive applications, and allow high-
speed connections to servers, and to the rest of the network. An
example configuration is shown in Figure 1.
This switch is one of the most compact designs in the industry
making it ideal for desktop use, and in keeping with the
3Com GreenConnect* tradition, this switch incorporates the
latest 65nm technology. This allows for lower power con-
sumption and decrease in carbon footprint. It can be used
with other units in the OfficeConnect family, which include
Cable/DSL gateways, wireless devices, Fast Ethernet and
Gigabit Ethernet switches. The OfficeConnect family is a fully
integrated system, enabling you to share computer resources,
and take advantage of new technologies as your network
