    It is always good practice to wear an anti-static wrist strap when installing network equipment, connected to a ground point. If one is not available, try to keep in contact with a grounded rack and avoid touching the unit's ports and connectors, if possible. Static discharge can cause reliability problems in your equipment.

  • Page 99: Fcc Statement

    VCCI Statement Pre-Standard IEEE 802.3at and Cable Temperatures 3Com recommends that you do not operate your cables above 50°C (122°F) if you are using the higher power mode capability of the 3CBLSF26PWR. This switch can deliver up to 29.6 W per port (measured at the PD, assuming 100 m Cat 5E cable connected between the PD and the Switch 2426-PWR, subject to power being available), and in certain cable installations this may result in increased cable temperatures.

    LOSSARY Category 3 Cables One of five grades of Twisted Pair (TP) cabling defined by the EIA/TIA-568 standard. Category 3 is voice grade cable and can only be used in Ethernet networks (10BASE-T) to transmit data at speeds of up to 10 Mbps.

    Full Duplex A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received at the same time and, in effect, doubles the potential throughput of a link. Half Duplex A system that allows packets to be transmitted and received, but not at the same time. Half duplex is not supported for 1000 Mbps.

Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Connectors are based on an open standard that enables hot swapping of various type of fiber optic and copper-based transceivers into the host equipment.
  • Page 106 LOSSARY VLAN A Virtual LAN is a collection of network nodes that share the same collision domain regardless of their physical location or connection point in the network. A VLAN serves as a logical workgroup with no physical barriers, and allows users to share information and resources as though located on the same LAN.
