KEY BENEFITS
EMPOWERS APPLICATION CONVERGENCE
The Switch 4200G family combines high performance
Gigabit switching, QoS and traffic management features
to help ensure essential applications get the appropriate
priority for efficient utilization of network resources.
The PWR model with available Power over Ethernet
readies your network for running converged
applications such as voice, wireless and video
surveillance over the network.
ENHANCES MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
The Switch 4200G family is easy to use and manage,
designed to increase business productivity by reliably
supporting business applications. Cluster together up
to 32 devices for easy administration, with single IP
management across 3Com switching lines.
DELIVERS HIGH PERFORMANCE
No need to buy new switches when additional network
performance is needed, as the Switch 4200G family
features 12-, 24- and 48-port models, providing
aggregate switching capacity up to 136 Gbps and
101.2 Mpps performance on the 48-port model.
GIVES FLEXIBLE, BASIC LAYER 3 ROUTING
Layer 3 static routing, with 32 definable static routes,
gives this switch added flexibility to handle more
complex networking needs.
REDUNDANT POWER SYSTEM SUPPORT
The 3Com Switch 4200G PWR model supports a
redundant power system (RPS) connection.
For this model, the RPS unit delivers redundant power
to switches so there is continued operation should the
switch unit power supply fail. This allows for
continuous operation of advanced Enterprise
networks, particularly important for converged
networks running IP phones on the network.

3Com H3C RPS Systems
3Com switches are compatible with 3Com H3C
solutions. These are enterprise-class power
redundancy systems that work with many 3Com fixed-
configuration switches. 3Com Corporation
manufactures networking equipment under the H3C
brand for sale into many markets.
The H3C RPS 1000 is 1U high and provides multiple
power output connections to support multiple switch
units at the same time. Two power rectifiers can be
installed for 1+1 load sharing and power redundancy.
It supports switches with -54V RPS connections, and
delivers sufficient power to fully provision all PoE
ports of a switch with full power redundancy.
SUPPORTED BY LIMITED LIFETIME HARDWARE
WARRANTY
3Com gives a Limited Lifetime Hardware Warranty on
the Switch 4200G Gigabit Family. Also provided is
Advanced Hardware Replacement, with next business
day shipment available in most regions, and telephone
support and limited lifetime software updates.
