What is the switching performance?

The switch delivers 1.28 Tbit/s fabric bandwidth, 960 Mpps forwarding rate, and 3 µs port-to-port latency with 24 MB deep buffering. Single ASIC design ensures low latency and wire-speed performance across all ports for virtualized traffic.

What power options are available?

Two internal redundant field-replaceable load-sharing AC power supplies with C13 inlet, 85-264 VAC input at 50-60 Hz, 30A inrush limit, and 1,672 BTU/hr heat dissipation. This provides high availability for continuous datacenter operations.

What are the physical dimensions and weight?

1U rack-mountable form factor with 53.65 cm (21.12 in.) depth and 10.82 kg (23.85 lb) weight. Non-port-side exhaust airflow optimizes cooling in standard racks.

What environmental specs does it support?

Operating temperature 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), storage -25°C to 70°C, humidity 10% to 85% non-condensing. Complies with IEC 60950-1 safety and FCC Class A EMC standards for reliable datacenter use.

What memory is included?

8 GB DDR2 SDRAM main memory, 4 MB boot flash, and 8 GB compact flash. These support advanced Layer 2/3 fabric features and VCS Fabric technology for scalable networking.
