10 Introducing the 3Com Unified Gigabit Wireless PoE Switch 24

The switch has 24 shielded RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiating 
ports and four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots on the 
front panel.

The four SFP ports support fiber Gigabit Ethernet short-wave (SX) and 
long-wave (LX) SFP transceivers in any combination. This offers you the 
flexibility of using SFP transceivers to provide connectivity between the 
switch and a 1000 Mbps core network.

When an SFP port is in operation, the corresponding 10/100/1000BASE-T 
port (21 to 24) is disabled.

The switch can provide Power over Ethernet (PoE) to 802.3af compliant 
devices over a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable. The switch can supply 
up to 15.4 Watts of PoE to each of the 24 gigabit ports simultaneously. 
PoE (802.3af) is a self-configuring protocol. When you plug an 802.3af 
device into one of the gigabit ports on the switch, the switch will supply 
the required power to the device.

The 3Com Unified Switch 24 provides centralized control for up to 24 
3Com 7760 or 8760 Access Points. Key wireless features include:

■

Enterprise-grade WPA2/AES encryption
