ES1D2G24SX5L FAQ

Q1: Is it compatible with Huawei S9708 switches? Will there be a bandwidth bottleneck when 24 ports are simultaneously operating at full load for 10 Gigabit transmission?

A1: Fully compatible! Supports the entire S9300/S9700 series, with backplane bandwidth ≥240Gbps. Full load 10 Gigabit transmission has no bottleneck, meeting the needs of high-end, lightweight 10 Gigabit access.

Q2: How is the transmission stability over 30km when deployed with single-mode fiber in an oilfield backbone network? What are the specific advantages of its wide temperature range?

A2: Signal attenuation <0.5dB within 30km, no packet loss; wide temperature range -40℃~70℃, wider compatibility than ordinary 10 Gigabit models, resistant to extreme temperature differences, suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Q3: How to choose between 16/32-port / ordinary 10 Gigabit high-end / mid-range 10 Gigabit line boards?

A3: 16 ports are suitable for less than 15 10 Gigabit devices, 32/48 ports provide functional redundancy. Ordinary high-end models do not support wide temperature range, and mid-range models lack stability.
