Baseline Switches

1

Wide-Ranging Unmanaged Family

Small to mid-sized businesses looking for a

switched LAN with or without high-speed

uplinks, or a low cost, high-performance

Gigabit network, will find an affordable

solution with the family of 3Com

®

Baseline

switches, designed for plug-and-play

network operation. 

10/100 Switching with Legacy Support

3Com Baseline Switch 2016 and 2024 are

ideal for businesses with legacy Ethernet

desktops that want to start a network. Fast

Ethernet (100 Mbps) support easily handles

higher speed desktop and office server

connections.

10/100 Switching, Gigabit Uplinks 

For businesses ready to step up their

network performance, the 3Com Baseline

Switch 2226 and 2250 offer 10/100

switching with two high-speed dual

purpose ports that can be used either as

10/100/1000 for fixed copper connections,

or fiber connections utilizing two Gigabit

SFP (Small Form-Factor Plug-in or mini-

GBIC) transceiver slots that accommodate

any standard 1000BASE-LX or -SX trans-

ceiver module. 

High-Performance 10/100/1000

Switching

For top performance, the 3Com Baseline

Switch 2808, 2816 and 2824 deliver wire-

speed Gigabit throughput and a switching

capacity of up to 48 Gbps to handle the

most bandwidth-hungry applications.

Plug-and-Play Unmanaged Operation

3Com Baseline switches operate straight

out of the box, with no configuration

required. Auto MDI/MDIX ports identify

and adapt to the Ethernet cable type, elim-

inating the most common cabling errors

and simplifying installation. Autosensing

ports detect and adjust to the speed of the

connected device to optimize network

performance.

Advanced Switching Features

IEEE 802.1p Class-of-Service (CoS) traffic

prioritization makes sure that real-time

applications such as video and audio take

priority so they run effectively, and enable

the switches to operate in larger networks.

Rack-Mounted or Free-Standing

Configuration

Small-business configurations can vary, so

the switches are designed to operate as a

free-standing or rack-mounted switch

with included mounting kit. The standard

19-inch, one rack-unit-high (1 RU) enclo-

sure optimizes valuable office space.

Warranty

Limited Lifetime Hardware Replacement.
