2.3Connecting the Equipment

We recommend discharging static electricity of twisted pair cable before connecting it to the switch. Also see below for how to install the USB memory.

2.3.1Discharging Twisted Pair Cable

Discharge static electricity of the twisted pair cable through the ground wire cable (ground wire for power supply, buildings, etc.) using static electricity removal tool, before connecting twisted pair cable to the switch.

Precautions

Unplug both ends of the twisted pair cable from equipments (HUB, router, and workstation) during discharging operation.

Do not use ground wire of electronic devices. Use grounded cable for power supply or buildings.

Do not short circuit with AC power supply when using ground wire for power suppl.

2.3.2Cleaning SFP Module / SFP+ Module / Optical Connector

When invisible small dust is adhered to SFP module / SFP+ module / optical connector, optical signal will be shut or space caused by dust will impede transmission of optical signal.

Therefore, clean up SFP module / SFP+ module / optical connector before connection.

Cleaning of SFP Module / SFP+ module

Below describes the case of SFP+ module.

1.Blow dust away with cleanly dry air or nitrogen.

Check end face, and conduct operation below if dust is left.

2.Lightly dampen a cleaning stick (1.25mm across, for LC/MU) with isopropyl alcohol. After wiping off dust, slowly and carefully wipe off alcohol with a new and dry cleaning stick.

3.Insert a cleaning stick to the optical connector insertion part of SFP module, and slowly wheel it.

XG0448 specifications

The Fujitsu XG0448 is a high-performance network switch that stands out in the competitive landscape of data networking solutions. Designed primarily for data center environments and enterprise networks, the XG0448 offers a robust feature set that meets the demands of modern data traffic.

One of the main features of the Fujitsu XG0448 is its impressive port density. It provides 48 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) ports along with 4 additional 40-Gigabit Ethernet ports. This multi-rate capability allows network architects to design flexible and scalable network topologies tailored to their unique requirements. The ability to aggregate networks efficiently is vital in minimizing latency and maximizing throughput in high-bandwidth applications, such as cloud services and big data analytics.

The XG0448 is also built on advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching technologies, offering essential functionality such as VLAN support, link aggregation, and robust Quality of Service (QoS). Its Layer 3 capabilities enable routing functionalities which facilitate optimized communication between different subnets, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of the network.

Security is a critical concern for modern networks, and the Fujitsu XG0448 addresses this with a range of security features. It includes strict access control lists (ACLs), RADIUS, and TACACS+ authentication mechanisms, as well as support for IEEE 802.1X port-based access control. These features help safeguard data while ensuring that only authorized devices can access the network.

Energy efficiency is another key characteristic of the XG0448. It is designed with power-saving technologies that allow for reduced energy consumption without compromising performance. The switch supports energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards, which help lower operational costs while contributing to sustainability efforts in managing data center workloads.

In addition to its hardware capabilities, the Fujitsu XG0448 supports sophisticated management and monitoring options. The device can be managed through a web-based interface or command-line interface (CLI), providing network administrators with flexibility in managing configurations, monitoring performance metrics, and troubleshooting issues seamlessly.

In summary, the Fujitsu XG0448 network switch combines high port density, advanced switching capabilities, robust security, and energy efficiency, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance their data networking infrastructure. It adapts well to the evolving demands of enterprise IT and plays a significant role in high-performance networking scenarios.
