Fast Ethernet SmartSwitch Modules
 
The 8H02-16, 2E42-27, 2E42-27R, 2E43-27, and 2E43-27R Fast Ethernet 
SmartSwitch Modules are all high performance Ethernet switching devices 
that provide Fast Ethernet uplinks.
The 8H02-16 is a 16-port device having 14 standard 10Base-T front panel 
ports that are supported by RJ-45 connectors and two 100Base-TX or multi-
mode fiber 100Base-FX uplinks using Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules. 
The 2E42-27 and 2E42-27R devices expand the capabilities of the 8H02-16 by 
providing 27 ports including 24 standard Ethernet ports with RJ-45 
connectors, two slots for Fast Ethernet Port Interface Modules, and one slot 
for a High Speed Interface Module to provide a high-speed ATM uplink or 
FDDI connectivity. The 2E42-27 has a single power supply and the 2E42-27R 
has dual redundant power supplies.
