Model:<\/strong>\u00a03C510<\/a><\/p>\n

\nAlthough the Asante, SMC, and now 3Com products are all sourced from\u00a0AMIT<\/a><\/b>, the 3C510 is a closer relative of the SMC Barricade than the Asante. The 510 uses a different revision board than the SMC, but the components and layouts are virtually the same.<\/p>\n
