Product overview

The 3Com SuperStack II Dual Speed Hub 500 (SKU 3C16610) is a 12-port Ethernet hub designed for SMB environments, supporting both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds via autosensing RJ-45 ports. It includes 12 x 10Base-T/100Base-TX ports, 2 x network stack ports, and 1 x RS-232C management port, with Port 12 featuring switchable MDI/MDIX. Compliant with IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u standards, it uses 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX cabling for wired Ethernet connectivity. The hub operates on AC 100-240V, consuming 38W operational with 123 BTU/hr dissipation. Dimensions are 17.32 x 1.73 x 9.06 inches (1U height), weighing 5.73 lbs, and supports 19-inch rack, wall, or freestanding mounting. Status LEDs indicate port status, link activity, collisions, and power. Stack up to 8 units for 96+ ports, enabling mixed-speed network integration for workstations and legacy equipment in cost-effective deployments.
