The 10/100 ports can each be connected to either a 
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX network. If you have both types 
of network, you can join them together using the Switch 
allowing all your workstations to communicate. 
Alternatively, if you use 10BASE-T and want to improve 
network performance by introducing 100BASE-TX 
technology, the Switch protects your existing workstations 
because it maintains 10BASE-T connections to them.

Your OfficeConnect Dual Speed Switch plus comes with:

■

One power adapter for use with the Switch.

■

Four rubber feet.

■

A stacking clip.

To connect OfficeConnect units (such as hubs and other 
switches) to your Switch, you need:

■

One suitable TP cable for each unit.

To connect workstations or other equipment (such as 
servers) directly to your Switch, you need:

One 10BASE-T, 
100BASE-TX or 
10/100BASE-TX adapter 
card for each workstation. 
3Com produce a range of 
easy to install network 
adapters, which provide 
your workstation with a 
10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX connection.

An operating system (for example, NetWare or Windows 
95/98) with network support configured, running on 
your workstations.

One suitable twisted pair cable for each workstation.

Cables can be shielded (screened) or unshielded; we 
recommend that you use shielded cable. Cables used for 
100BASE-TX connections must be data grade (Category 5). 
The maximum length you can use is 100m (328ft).
