SWITCHINGDATA SHEETOVERVIEWThe 3Com® Switch 4500G Gigabit Family deliversflexible quad-speed performance—10/100/1000 and10-Gigabit—and advanced voice-optimized featuressuch as Power over Ethernet (PoE) and auto-voiceVLAN and QoS. This makes the Switch 4500G ideal formedium businesses and small enterprises seeking tobuild a secure converged network.KEY BENEFITSMANAGED LAYER 2 AND LAYER 3 GIGABITCONNECTIVITYWirespeed Layer 2 Gigabit switching with dynamicLayer 3 Gigabit routing make the Switch 4500G idealfor wiring closet, workgroup and small coreconnectivity requirements. In addition, four of theports are dual-personality, operating either as10/100/1000 or SFP-based fiber providing greaterflexibility. These switches also accommodate up tofour extra optional 10-Gigabit high-speed links,enabling connectivity to a core network or to high-performance servers.SECUREEnterprise-class security features include IEEE 802.1Xnetwork login, SSH/SSL encrypted device login, andAccess Control Lists, protecting mission-criticalbusiness applications.VOICE;READYMinimize the cost and complexity associated withadding or moving IP telephones: the Switch 4500Gdetects the presence of IP phones and dynamicallyassigns switch ports to the voice VLAN, enablingautomated configuration and prioritization of Voiceover IP (VoIP) traffic. Optional PoE models provideelectrical power and data connectivity over a singleEthernet cable—resulting in significant cost savingswhen deploying these phones.VARIETY OF MODELSThe Switch 4500G is available in four models,clusterable in any combination up to thirty-two units:› 3Com Switch 4500G 24-Port:24 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports, 4 of which are dual-personality10/100/1000 or SFP Gigabit; two 10-Gigabit dual-portslots› 3Com Switch 4500G 48-Port:48 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports, 4 of which are dual-personality10/100/1000 or SFP Gigabit; two 10-Gigabit dual-portslots› 3Com Switch 4500G 24-Port PWR:24 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports, 4 of which are dual-personality10/100/1000 or SFP Gigabit; two 10-Gigabit dual-portslots; 10/100/1000 ports are PoE-enabled› 3Com Switch 4500G 48-Port PWR:48 auto-negotiating 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T ports, 4 of which are dual-personality10/100/1000 or SFP Gigabit; two 10-Gigabit dual-portslots; 10/100/1000 ports are PoE-enabled3COM SWITCH 4500GGIGABIT FAMILYfrom top: 3Com Switch 4500G 24-Port, Switch 4500G 48-Port, Switch4500G PWR 24-Port, Switch 4500G PWR 48-PortHigh-performance, secure voice-readyGigabit connectivity, ideal for mediumbusinesses and small enterprises
