•The PowerConnect B-FCX624s stackable switch has twenty 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports plus four Combo ports, which include four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports and four 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports. The switch has two management interfaces, a DB9 serial port (Console) on the front panel and an RJ45 port (Out-of-band Management Interface) on the rear panel. Two rear-panel power supply receptacles allow for up to two power supply units. Two dedicated 16 GbE CX4 ports on the rear panel allow stacking for up to eight units. The front panel also has a module slot for an optional two-port 10 Gbps XFP module.

•The PowerConnect B-FCX648s stackable switch has forty four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports plus four Combo ports, which include four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports and four 100/1000 Mbps SFP ports. The switch has two management interfaces, a DB9 serial port (Console) on the front panel and an RJ45 port (Out-of-band Management Interface) on the rear panel. Two rear-panel power supply receptacles allow for up to two power supply units. Two dedicated 16 Gbps Ethernet CX4 ports on the rear panel allow stacking for up to eight units. The front panel also has a module slot for an optional two-port 10 Gbps Ethernet XFP module.

•The PowerConnect B-FCX624-E switch has twenty four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports plus four Combo 1 Gbps ports. The device has two management interfaces on the front panel, a DB9 serial port (Console) and an RJ45 port (Out-of-band Management Interface). The front panel has a slot for an optional four-port 1GbE SFP module (works as Combo port) or four-port 10 Gbps SFP+ module. On the rear panel a removable fan tray provides a cooling airflow from the front to the back (FtB) of the device. Two rear-panel power supply receptacles accommodate up to two power supply units that also support a front-to-back cooling airflow.

•The PowerConnect B-FCX624-I switch has twenty four 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 ports plus four Combo 1 Gbps ports.
