The 3Com 3C17224 is a stack cascade module for the 3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 family, including the Switch 4400, Switch 4400 FX, Switch 4400 PWR and Switch 4400 SE. It fits into the rear expansion slot of the switch and, paired with a second 3C17224 module in a partner unit plus a 3C17225 cascade cable, links two SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 units into a single resilient stack managed under one IP address.
Stacking two units this way removes a single point of failure from the access layer, since traffic and management continue to flow if one unit in the pair needs attention, and it lets network teams grow port count without adding a separate management overhead per switch. The module installs without tools and does not require the switch to be reconfigured beyond enabling the stack link. It is a common upgrade path for sites running a SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 that need resilient stacking rather than standalone switches.
