Compact, Streamlined, Affordable Gigabit Switching for Small Offices with Big Demands

The 3Com® Gigabit Switch 8 is designed for small offices and remote branch offices requiring high network performance to exchange large data files and images, and access real-time information or connect to high-speed servers or a high-speed network backbone. Featuring autosensing and auto MDI/MDIX on all ports, the Gigabit Switch 5 is delivered in a futuristic, compact and streamlined enclosure. With a high quality dark gun metal grey look these switches exude quality, the 3Com logos "light up" on power up and they feature illuminating blue LEDs.

The 3Com Gigabit Switch 8 automatically finds the fastest connection speed, the autosensing 10/100/1000 ports automatically adjust to the speed of network devices communicating at 1000, 100, or 10 Mbps, so the switch can accommodate a range of workgroup applications. All that is needed is to connect the power and Ethernet cables.

There is no software to configure. Easy to set up these switches feature a fan-less design which provides silent operation. With a choice of 8 ports you can expand your network by adding more computers or devices with speeds up to 2000 Mbps per port in full-duplex mode.

The 3Com Gigabit Switch 8 offers high-speed, high-quality, reliable, affordable networking with a style that will accommodate any office environment and is backed by an outstanding 2-year warranty.
