• Why Choose This Product?

• The H3C S6526XE-48X4CC-EI is a strong procurement choice for organizations that need dense 1/10GE fiber aggregation today and 40/100GE uplink capability for future network growth. Its 48 fixed SFP+ ports give it a higher native 10GE port count than the 32-port S6526XE-32X4CC-EI, while two expansion slots provide additional flexibility for changing connectivity requirements. Modular 1+1 power and fan architecture, IRF resiliency, high forwarding performance and support for advanced routing and network-management capabilities make it suitable for enterprise campus, data center and hybrid infrastructure modernization. Buyers should verify the exact software release, transceiver requirements, expansion cards, fan modules and power supplies before procurement because these components and supported features can vary by configuration and deployment. H3C lists the base product code without power supplies, with compatible power, fan and interface modules ordered according to deployment requirements. (H3C)
