The 3Com 3C16988A is a 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 3300, a 24-port 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch built around 3Com’s Matrix stacking architecture. Its integrated Matrix module lets it link with other SuperStack 3 Switch 3300 units and with the older SuperStack II Switch 1100, forming a single virtual switch of up to 102 switched ports managed as one entity rather than as separate devices. This makes it a practical way to scale port count in stages on an existing 3Com estate, adding units to the matrix as demand grows. All 24 ports handle standard 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet, and the switch fits a 1U rack-mountable chassis. It remains a common, reliable part for organisations maintaining legacy SuperStack 3 infrastructure who need matching hardware for expansion or replacement.
Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) tests every switch before dispatch. Get in touch if you need help confirming Matrix stacking compatibility with your setup.
