Introduction
17-Port Modular Fast Ethernet Switch
High Port Count
The 17-Port Switch is a modular switch consisting of three expansion slots: two for 8-
port 10/100BaseTX/FX module, and one for 1-port 10/100BaseTX or 100BaseFX
module. This allows the switch to provide up to 17 ports when all the three slots are fit
with modules.

module. This allows the switch to provide up to 17 ports when all the three slots are fit

Cost-Effective Migration
The 17-Port Switch is capable of integrating legacy 10Mbps networks with 100Mbps
Fast Ethernet networks. In addition, the 17-Port Switch provides an easy and affordable
solution for migrating from copper cabling to fiber connection when it is equipped with
suitable modules to provide both TX and FX ports.

Flexibility through Modules
Seeing fiber connection become popular while the fiber cabling in small business
environment is still not widespread, the 17-Port Switch is designed to deliver flexibility
through a wide variety of TX and FX modules. Most of the modules combine TX and
FX ports to provide more customization options.

Fiber-Connectivity
As a Fast Ethernet switch, the 17-Port Switch is specifically designed to meet the
demanding need for fiber. The switch provides up to 17 ports for 100BaseFX, multi-
mode or single-mode fiber. For multi-mode fiber port, it allows SC, ST, MT-RJ, VF-45
or LC connector. For single-mode fiber port, it allows SC or ST connector. The fiber
ports allow maximum segment distance of 120 km when using single-mode fiber, and
therefore, the 17-Port Fiber Switch is an optimum solution for long distance
connection.

Basic Configuration Features
The 17-Port Switch supports port-based Virtual Local Area Networking (VLAN) and
MAC-based trunking technologies. Such advanced features bring network
administrators a powerful yet easy-to-use tool to reduce unnecessary traffic, efficiently
segment the network, and enhance network security.
