3Com 3C17708 Switch 4050 Series Datacentre Switch

The 3Com 3C17708 is a 3Com Switch 4050, a compact fixed-configuration Ethernet switch with 12 autosensing 10/100/1000 ports. It’s built for smaller workgroups or wiring closets that need Gigabit switching but not the port density of a full 24- or 48-port unit. Each port automatically negotiates speed and duplex, simplifying deployment across a mix of connected equipment. As a fixed-configuration switch rather than a modular chassis, the 4050 is straightforward to install and manage, with a smaller footprint suited to space-constrained comms cabinets or satellite wiring closets. It sits in the same 3Com Switch 4000-series family as the larger 4060 and 4070 models, sharing the same getting-started documentation and management approach, and remains a useful, low-cost option for organisations maintaining an existing 3Com switching estate.
