Switch 8814 Chassis Kit, 14 slots 10G Ethernet Switching for the Largest Enterprises
The 3Com© Switch 8800 Family of intelligent, multilayer modular LAN switches is ideal for enterprise environments where non-stop availability of critical applications and the highest performance, security, and granular control are required.

The Switch 8800 Family provides unparalleled investment protection for the enterprise with industry-leading scalability and a flexible modular architecture, delivering high performance Gigabit and 10-Gigabit switching and routing.

This Chasssis Kit enables end-to-end connectivity and network application control with a 14-slot chassis— with two slots supporting dual load-sharing switch fabrics and 12 slots for any combination of switching I/O modules, supporting up to 48 10-Gigabit ports or 576 10/100/1000 ports— and preinstalled single power supply and fan tray.

Chassis Kits for all models include the chassis, power supply, and fan tray. Switch 8800 switch fabric and I/O switching modules are ordered separately.

A redundant switch fabric (720 Gbps performance or 360 Gbps) is an option available for the Switch 8800 for added performance and resiliency. With dual switch fabrics installed, both operate in an active, load-sharing fashion, doubling aggregate system performance while also ensuring the highest level of resiliency.
