ES0DG24TFA00 FAQ

Q1: Is it compatible with Huawei S5730 switches? Will there be a bandwidth bottleneck when all 24 ports are running at full load simultaneously?

A1: Fully compatible! Supports the entire S5700/S6700 series, backplane bandwidth ≥24Gbps, no bottlenecks under full load transmission, meeting the needs of small gigabit access layers;

Q2: How is the transmission stability at 55m when using Cat.5e copper cable to connect security equipment? What are the specific advantages of low power consumption?

A2: Signal attenuation <0.25dB within 55m, no packet loss; single-board power consumption ≤22W, 30% lower than ordinary mid-range models (approximately 32W), saving approximately 1200 RMB in electricity costs annually for 10 boards;

Q3: How to choose between 16/32-port / high-end low-power / ordinary mid-range circuit boards?

A3: 16 ports are suitable for <15 devices, 32 ports / 48 ports offer functional redundancy. High-end low-power models are over budget, and ordinary mid-range models are not energy-efficient.
