The 3Com® Switch 4210 is a Layer 2 entry-level 10/100 LAN switch with enterprise-class QoS, security and management features, delivering high value for network administrators looking for an economical edge device.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) provided by this switch is ideal for voice over IP and wireless networking installations.

Setting them apart from lower-end "smart managed" devices, the Switch 4210 supports an industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI), Web-based administration, and SNMP management.

Cluster together up to 32 devices for easy administration, with single IP management across 3Com switching lines- with mixed clusters of Switch 4210, 4200G, 4500G, 5500 and 5500G devices.

This switch has Gigabit uplinks; its combination ports can run in one of two modes: 10/100/1000 Mbps connections over copper Ethernet cabling, or 100 or 1000 Mbps over fiber cabling using SFP mini-GBIC technology.

The Switch 4210 comes with 3Com's limited lifetime warranty covering the unit, power supply and fan; Advanced Hardware Replacement with next business day shipment is available in most regions.
