GREEN TECHNOLOGY
When no connection exists or a short network cable is
used, power consumption in the Baseline Switch 2026
(GE ports only), 2816 and 2824 will be reduced
automatically to save energy. These Baseline switches
have no fans; power consumption is reduced, and their
quiet operation is ideal for office environments.

PLUG-AND-PLAY UNMANAGED OPERATION
3Com Baseline switches operate straight out of the box,
with no configuration required. Auto MDI/MDIX ports
identify and adapt to the Ethernet cable type, eliminating
the most common cabling errors and simplifying
installation. Autosensing ports detect and adjust to the
speed of the connected device to optimize network
performance.
