A fiber optic Token Ring module offers the flexibility to either maintain existing Token Ring segments within a network or migrate them as new higher speed networking technologies are needed. The new Token Ring SmartSwitch 9000 modules are part of a SmartSwitch 9000 solution verified by The Tolly Group to perform wire-speed "translational" switching between Token Ring and other high speed networking technologies such as Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, FDDI, WAN and ATM.

The new 9T428-16 is a standards-based solution that uses Cabletron's high-performance SmartSwitch ASIC switching fabric to provide16 fiber ports supporting full duplex/dedicated Token Ring, offering up to 112 switched Token Ring segments within a single chassis. Offering per port RMON support and a non-blocking, wire speed switch capacity, the switch modules also support Cabletron's Smart Network Services for enterprise control using policy, administration, directory and accounting services.
