Introducing the Switch

Introducing the Switch

The 6600-24G Switch has 20 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports, four dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini- GBIC (Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)) ports.

The 6600-24G-4XG Switch has the same ports as the Switch 6600-24G plus it also has 4 SFP+ slots for 10-GbE connectivity. The specification for SFP+ defines the physical and electrical characteristics of this form-factor (size and shape). The form-factor is identical to SFP, but the SFP+ is a 10-Gigabit Ethernet transceiver.

The 6600-24XG Switch has 24 SFP+ slots. All slots are 10-GbE.

Table 1-1.	These products support optional network connectivity with the
	following speeds and technologies:

Speed		Technology	Cabling	Transceiver form-factor
				and connector

				SFP(mini-GBIC)	SFP+
				Connector	Connector

100-Mbps		100-FX	Fiber (multimode)	LC

		100-BX	Fiber (single mode)	LC

1-Gbps		1000-SX	Fiber (multimode)	LC

		1000-LX	Fiber (multimode or	LC
			single mode)
		1000-LH	Fiber (single mode)	LC

		1000-BX	Fiber (single mode)	LC

10-Gbps		10-Gig	Copper (twinaxial)		N/A1
		Direct Attach
		10-Gig SR	Fiber (multimode)		LC

		10-Gig LRM	Fiber (multimode)		LC

		10-Gig LR	Fiber (single mode)		LC

1 Direct attach cables (DAC) are low-cost 10-GbE connectivity options consisting of a one,
three, or seven meter cable with SFP+ connectors permanently attached to each end.

For supported transceivers see www.procurve.com/faqs. Both ProCurve 10-GbE trans-
ceivers and ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs have links to a list of supported products
(first question in the “General Product Information” category).

For technical details of cabling and technologies see Appendix B, “Cabling and Tech-
nology Information”.
