Power up your network with 3Com's Power over Ethernet Solutions

3Com announces exciting new products today at CeBIT, Hannover, March 12, 2003!
Get ready to reduce the total cost of ownership on your network with 3Com's Power over Ethernet Solutions. Now a single cable can provide both standards-based, intelligent power and data connectivity.

• Eliminate additional cabling costs with the new 3Com SuperStack® 3 Switch 4400 PWR, our first in-line Power over Ethernet 10/100 Mbps switch
• Add value to your network by combining power and data over a single cable to any compliant device including 3Com's NBX® Voice over IP solutions, Wireless LAN and Network Jack products
• Reduce installation time and save money

"A piecemeal approach to Power over Ethernet is not acceptable. Customers look to leading network vendors like 3Com to provide a complete set of integrated products that will interoperate on their own as well as with third party products. Vendors that try to cling to proprietary approaches will be left behind and their customers left at risk. I'm particularly impressed with 3Com's support of PoE for their new Wi-Fi access point products and IP phone backward compatibility."

Nick Lippis, President, Lippis Consulting

"I was impressed to see how well 3Com delivered on their previous pledges to protect the investments I made in their products. It was simple to integrate the SuperStack 3 Switch 4400 PWR into an existing location, reuse the existing NBX telephones, leverage my Network Jacks for power forwarding and still gain new capabilities. They exceeded my expectations."

Ted Malos, Director of Technology, Ventura Unified School District in California.
