3C16479 3Com Gigabit 24-Port 10/100/1000Base-TX External Fast Ethernet BaseLine 2824 Network Switch

3Com 3C16479

The 3Com 3C16479 is a 24-port Fast Ethernet switch from 3Com, part of the HP ProCurve 2800 Series, built for established networks that need like-for-like replacements, spares or expansion units. The product line is engineered for Gigabit Ethernet access switching.

Its port layout is 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-TX, giving you a clear, flexible mix of connections. Higher-speed Gigabit connectivity is ideal for uplinks and aggregation, keeping traffic moving when many users are active. A wired connection delivers steadier speeds and lower latency than Wi-Fi for fixed devices. Intelligent frame forwarding avoids flooding every port and keeps bandwidth available for real work. For networks with many low-bandwidth endpoints, Fast Ethernet access ports remain a cost-effective, reliable option. Everyday business communication depends on dependable switching between users, servers and the internet.

This 3Com model lets you grow the network in steps rather than replacing everything at once. Quote 3C16479 when ordering to receive this exact configuration. Identical models across a site make firmware and configuration management simpler. Proven, well-understood hardware is a cost-effective option for stable networks and labs. This 3Com model allows quick like-for-like swaps when a unit fails. A UPS on the network rack keeps connections alive through short power outages. It is a practical choice for keeping 3Com-based networks running or for expanding them with matching hardware. The 3Com 3C16479 is a smart investment for anyone who needs 3Com Fast Ethernet switching.
