ES1D2G48SX5L FAQ

Q1: Is it compatible with Huawei S9708 switches? Will there be bandwidth bottlenecks with 48 ports operating at full load and long-distance transmission?

A1: Fully compatible! Supports the entire S9300/S9700 series, backplane bandwidth ≥48Gbps, no bottlenecks under full load transmission, low insertion loss design ensures long-distance stability, meeting large-scale access needs;

Q2: How is the signal stability when paired with ZX modules for 80km long-distance transmission? Is it compatible with third-party compliant optical modules?

A2: Signal attenuation <0.8dB within 80km, no packet loss; Huawei original modules are preferred, but it is also compatible with IEEE standard third-party modules, offering flexible adaptation and controllable costs;

Q3: How to choose between 24/32-port/Gigabit Ethernet high-end circuit boards?

A3: The 24-port version is suitable for less than 30 devices, the 32-port version is suitable for 30-40 devices, and the Ethernet version is suitable for short-distance scenarios; for more than 40 devices and long-distance requirements, this product offers the best cost performance.
