Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Asanté IntraCore 35160 Series Gigabit switch. These switches are a family of
multi-media and multi-protocol switches capable of supporting Layer 2 Switching and Layer 4 Type of
Service. They are designed to offer industry-leading performance at a very competitive cost of ownership.
Each IntraCore 35160 switch is a 16-port solution for Layer 2 and Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switching using
shared-memory architecture to achieve Gigabit switching on all ports. The highly integrated system includes
MACs, Address look-up Content Addressable Memory (CAM), Switch Engine, Primary Buffer Memory, and
programmable Quality of Service (QoS).
There are two models in the 35160 series that cover different customer applications.
The IntraCore 35160-T is a 16 port switch that has 12 10/100/ 1000BaseT ports and 4 dual function Gigabit
ports that support either 1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.
The IntraCore 35160-G is a 16-port switch that has 12 GBIC style Gigabit Ethernet ports and 4 dual function
Gigabit ports that support either 1000BaseT RJ-45 Gigabit ports or GBIC Gigabit ports.
The following types of GBIC modules are supported on the 35160 switches:
• 1000SX multimode fiber for 500m applications
• 1000LX single mode fiber for 2km applications
• 1000LH single mode fiber for 20km applications
• 1000LZ single mode fiber for ultra distance (120km) applications
• 1000BaseT Copper Gigabit for low-cost 100m applications
The system can operate as a stand-alone network or be used in combination with other IntraCore series
switches in the backbone.
