What is the performance capacity of this chassis?

Supports up to 230 Tbps fabric capacity, 69 Bpps forwarding rate, and 576 wire-speed 100GbE ports with FlexRoute Engine. Low 3.5 µs latency and VOQ buffering ensure non-blocking L2/L3 performance in congested scenarios.

Does it support redundant power supplies?

Yes, features redundant hot-swappable AC/DC PSUs with max 5000W draw but typical <25W per 100GbE port. This design provides high availability and energy efficiency for enterprise data centers.

What are the physical dimensions and rack space?

Measures 22.8 in (485 mm) height (11U), 19 in (483 mm) width, 31.3 in depth, weighing 95 lb (43 kg). Fits standard 19-inch racks with front-to-back airflow for optimal cooling in dense installations.

Is it Layer 3 capable and manageable?

Yes, Layer 3 supported with EOS for CLI, GUI, SNMP management, plus EVPN-VXLAN and network monitoring. 16 expansion slots allow modular growth for advanced routing in cloud/HPC environments.

What compliance standards does it meet?

Certified EU RoHS and EU WEEE for environmental compliance. Combined with redundant components and low power use, it suits global data centers focused on sustainability and reliability.
