The 3Com 3C16829 is an 8-port 100Base-FX expansion module for the 3Com Switch 4005, a modular Layer 3 switching platform. It adds eight Fast Ethernet ports over fibre using MT-RJ connectors, giving a Switch 4005 chassis fibre-based uplink or backbone capacity without needing an external media converter. This kind of module is typically used where copper Fast Ethernet isn’t practical, such as building-to-building links or longer in-building runs where fibre’s distance and interference advantages matter. As a Layer 3 module, it works within the 4005’s routing and switching feature set rather than as a purely dumb Layer 2 extension. It’s a legacy but still-serviceable part for organisations maintaining an existing 3Com Switch 4005 estate who need a matching fibre module for expansion or replacement.
