3Com 5500-EI 3CR17181-91

The 3Com 3CR17181-91 is a 28-port Gigabit Ethernet switch from the 3Com HPE FlexNetwork 5000 Series, making it a dependable option for campus networks in education, healthcare, government and corporate environments. The series is designed for enterprise access and aggregation switching.

On the front panel you get 2 x SFP, 2 x 10/100/1000BASE-T, ready for copper and fiber connections as your design requires. Pluggable fiber slots let you choose the right transceiver for short- or long-distance links between buildings or racks. Gigabit speeds to each desk keep large file transfers, cloud apps and video calls running smoothly. For best results, pair the Gigabit ports with Cat5e or higher-grade cabling. Standards-based Ethernet ensures interoperability with routers, firewalls, servers and endpoints from other vendors.

As a managed switch it gives administrators full control over how traffic is segmented, prioritized and secured. The Comware platform provides a proven foundation for configuration, automation and monitoring. Troubleshooting tools shorten the time from fault report to fix. VLANs let you separate voice, guest, management and user traffic for better performance and security. QoS policies keep calls and video meetings clear, even during heavy file transfers. Reserving specific ports for uplinks keeps your design clear as the network grows. Switching sends each frame only where it needs to go, which keeps the network efficient.

Adding this unit expands capacity without a costly network redesign. Enterprise-class switching helps support security policies, unified communications and wireless rollouts. Install it in a well-ventilated location so it keeps operating reliably over the long term. Order the 3CR17181-91 today to add 3Com HPE FlexNetwork 5000 switching to your infrastructure.
