Using the 460T
Sample Configurations
The following examples illustrate how the 460T switch can be used in a
network.
Desktop PC Bandwidth
In this example, desktop PC users are connected directly to the 460T switch.
Power users are connected at 100 Mbps while regular users can be
connected at 10 Mbps. Aggregated links provide additional bandwidth to
the servers.

Small Office Backbone
In this example, the 460T switch serves as the backbone for a small network.
The switch can provide high-bandwidth support to the clients (servers and
power users) that require it while providing connections for 10 Mbps
devices. Use the optional modules available for the 460T to extend the reach
of the network beyond 100 meters (330 feet). For example, to connect
different buildings or remote campuses to an Intel

Express 550T Switch
located at a central office.
Two switches connected using 1000SX modules. The
maximum distance is 550m using multimode fiber.
