3 Switch
3848 delivers wirespeed Gigabit
Ethernet switching, with ten times
the performance of 10/100 desktop
switching but at similar prices. Tri-
speed operation of the switch enables
backward compatibility with existing
devices, such as printers, while still
allowing new PC’s and servers to
operate at their maximum potential.  
Concerned about network security?
The SuperStack 3 Switch 3848
supports IEEE 802.1X network login
security to help ensure all users are
authorized before being granted
access to any network resource.
