Using the Express 460T Switch
Sample Configurations
The following examples illustrate how the Express 460T switch can be used
in a network.
Desktop Bandwidth
In this example, desktop users are connected directly to the 460T switch.
Power users are connected at 100Mbps while regular users can be connected
at 10Mbps. Aggregated links provide additional bandwidth to the servers.

Small Office Backbone
In this example, the Express 460T switch serves as the backbone for a small
network. The switch can provide high-bandwidth support to the clients
(servers and power users) that require it while providing connections for
10Mbps devices. Use the optional modules available for the Express 460T
to extend the reach of the network beyond 100 meters (330 ft.). For
example, to connect different buildings or remote campuses to an Intel
Express 550T switch located at a central office.
Two switches connected using 1000SX modules. The
maximum distance is 550m using multimode fiber.
