Product Overview

FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE

The FGS624XGP is POE-upgradeable. You can upgrade it by installing a POE daughter card.

The FGS624XGP-POE already has the POE daughter cards installed.

Figure 2.2 shows the FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE.

Slot 1

Slot 3

The FGS624XGP and FGS624XGP-POE have the following ports:

•24 10/100/1000 Copper ports that support 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T RJ-45 connectors

•Four Gigabit Fiber uplink ports (1F – 4F) for mini-GBIC optical transceivers (also called Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) Multisource Agreement (MSA)-compliant optical transceivers)

Note that ports 1 – 4 of the copper ports and 1F – 4F of the fiber ports are combination ports, meaning either the copper port or its corresponding fiber port can be active at a time. For example, for copper port 1 and fiber port 1F, only one of these ports can be active at any given time. The same applies to copper port 2 and fiber port 2F, and so forth. You can use a combination of fiber and copper ports or all four copper or all four fiber ports, as needed. For more information, see “Combination Ports” on page 2-7.

•One built-in 10-GbE port. See “10 Gbps Ports” on page 2-7.

•Optionally, two additional 10-GbE ports. See “10 Gbps Ports” on page 2-7.

FGS648P and FGS648P-POE

The FGS648P is POE-upgradeable. You can upgrade it to a POE device by installing one or two POE daughter cards. A single POE daughter card supports 24 POE ports. Two POE daughter cards support 48 POE ports.

The FGS648P-POE already has the POE daughter cards installed.
