SuperStack II Baseline Switch
The 3Com SuperStack II Baseline
switch delivers the power of Ethernet
switching at an affordable price, and
includes two switched 10/100 Mbps
ports as standard. Designed to meet
your immediate performance demands,
the Baseline switch is an ideal solution
when bandwidth is constrained and
users need a cost-effective solution to
speed up the network.
The Baseline switch has 12 or 24
10BASE-T switched ports and two
10/100BASE-TX (Ethernet or Fast
Ethernet) switched ports that automati-
cally detect the speed of connected
devices, optimizing network perfor-
mance to 100BASE-TX, where
applicable. These are ideal for use as
high-speed connections to servers or as
downlink ports to the rest of the net-
work where traffic is highest and
bandwidth is at a premium. The
SuperStack II Baseline switch is unman-
aged and works straight out of the box.
12 or 24 RJ-45 10BASE-T
switched connections.
Two RJ-45 10BASE-T/100BASE-
TX auto-sensing uplink ports
provide high-speed connections
to network servers or a backbone
connection.
Autonegotiating full-/half-duplex
operation on each port doubles the
speed of each network connection
to 20 Mbps (for 10BASE-T ports)
or up to 200 Mbps (for 100BASE-
TX ports).
MAC addresses support up to
2,000 network devices on your
local area network.*
Two MDI/MDIX switchable
ports (one 10 Mbps port and one
10/100 Mbps port) let you cascade
hubs and switches and add high-
speed downlink connections
without using crossover cable.
19" size for easy installation in a
wiring closet. A rackmounting kit
is supplied. The product can also
be used free-standing.
Diagnostic LEDs indicate network
traffic, port status, speed
+
full-/half-duplex
10/100 Mbps ports, making it
easy to spot-check faults and
check individual port status.
* 750 MAC addresses supported by 12-port version
+ Only available on 24-port version

SuperStack II
The 3Com SuperStack II system gives you a
flexible, cost-effective connectivity solution
for local, wide area, and SNA networks. You
can combine diverse technologies and network
services in one stacked system, strengthen it
with uninterruptible and redundant power
systems, and manage it all with Transcend
network management solutions.
As an important part of the 3Com Transcend
Networking framework, SuperStack II systems
will meet your evolving network needs—
futureproofing your network investment.
A single SuperStack II system provides
connections for a range of network environments
and protocols: Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Layer 3
Switching, Gigabit Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI,
ISDN, X.25, Frame Relay, and ATM. Depending
on your needs, you can build SuperStack II
systems for virtually any network environment.
