Nortel PassPort 8600 module 16xGENet MMF MT-RJ Specification Guide

Bandwidth intensive applications 
are driving the growth of today’s network.
Deploying a scalable, reliable and 
operationally simplistic network is the
only way to guarantee that a network 
will be as flexible as the applications that
run on it. Instantaneous network response
times and resilient server connections 
are top-of-list requirements for creating
an eBusiness infrastructure. Traditional 
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet 
connections to the backbone and server
farms may not meet these demands.
