FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Features and Benefits

Connectivity

•24/48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports for easy Gigabit Ethernet integration and for protection of your investment in legacy LAN equipment.

•Auto-negotiation enables each RJ-45 port to automatically select the optimum communication mode (half or full duplex) if this feature is supported by the attached device; otherwise the port can be configured manually.

•RJ-45 ports support auto MDI/MDI-X pinout selection.

•Unshielded (UTP) cable supported on all RJ-45 ports: Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connections, and Category 5, 5e, 6 or better for 1000 Mbps connections.

•IEEE 802.3-2002 Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and IEEE 802.3ae 10 Gigabit Ethernet compliance ensures compatibility with standards-based hubs, network cards and switches from any vendor.

•Provides stacking capability via high-speed serial ports with 40 Gbps stacking bandwidth. Up to 8 units can be stacked together.

Expandability

•Supports 1000BASE-SX and 1000BASE-LX and 1000BASE-ZX SFP transceivers.

•Optional single-port 10G expansion module with a Xenpak transceiver slot.

Performance

•Transparent bridging.

•Aggregate duplex bandwidth of up to 108/156 Gbps.
