3Com was founded in 1979 by Mr. Robert Metcalfe, an individual highly involved in engineering and science. During their best years, 3Com was a successful vendor of routers, switches, access points, VoIP systems, alarm systems and generic network interface controllers. The name is a derivative of Computers, Communication and Compatibility. Several joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions occurred during their history, which is one of the reasons why 3Com networking gear is still widespread, even though the company was defunct in 2010. Last milestone in 3Com’s history was their acquisition by Hewlett-Packard in 2009, with their plentiful patents and innovations being distributed under the Aruba Networks brand. 3Com Manuals are requested quite a bit, mostly because of 3Com’s devices enjoying a good reputation on the used marketplace.
Similar to the 3Com OfficeConnect WL-525 model, the 3Com Switch 2848-SFP Plus is no longer being actively marketed or supported by the company.

In terms of easy to setup networking switches, the 3Com’s 2848-SFP Plus represents one of the best available solutions. It provides 10/100/1000 Mbps switching and the best thing about it that it comes pre-configured, so no complex config files and setting up is required once you acquire one. This switch has 44 ports that are shielded and 4 combo ports that contain transceiver slots as well. The SFP portion relates to supporting fibre line (Gigabit Ethernet Short Wave – SX and Long Wave – LX). The 2848-SFP comes in at 17,3 x 9,4 x 1,7 inches and it weighs in at just over 7 lbs.
