3Com 8800 (3C17516) Expansion Module

This module delivers twenty-four ports of high-performance Gigabit Ethernet switching over Category 5 twisted-pair cable. Switch 8800 modules support on-board or Local Layer 2 switching, allowing packets to remain local to the module, which reduces backplane and switch fabric loading. This reduces congestion in the network minimizing packet loss, to enable applications to run faster across the network. The reduction in latencies will improve the quality of video and voice traffic across the network.
