These compact units mount easily in standard wall cutouts. This innovative design provides durability and permanence for high-traffic locations such as classrooms and labs, public kiosks, conference rooms, and shared office spaces. Unlike freestanding hubs or switches, network jacks aren't as exposed to tampering, damage, or theft.

Their industry-standard switch technology supports Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Power Over Ethernet specifications—including 802.3af-compliant power forwarding to other devices. For LANs without Power Over Ethernet, individual AC adapters can power network jacks.

Bring Intelligence to the Edge of the Network
Where centralized device control is required, 3Com offers the intelligent NJ200 Network Jack. Advanced Ethernet switch features-802.1p traffic prioritization, QoS, VLANs, and multicast filtering-enable NJ200s to function in larger enterprise environments.

Bundled software utilities that ship with the unit let you remotely configure and monitor the network jacks. SNMP compatibility enables NJ200s to be easily discovered and controlled by standard management platforms—including HP OpenView and 3Com Network Supervisor.

Port-based VLANs and passwords improve network security. IT managers can assign VLANs on a port-by-port basis, organizing individual switched connections into separate subnets. Security passwords can be set for an individual network jack or groups of network jacks.

In short, the NJ200's manageability lets your IT staff more quickly troubleshoot and enhance data security without making trips to the desktops.
