ES1D2H02QX2S FAQ
Q1: Is this line board compatible with Huawei S9306 switches? Can the transmission distance and speed be guaranteed when paired with a 40GE LR module?
A1: Fully compatible! Supports the entire S9300 series of switches. Paired with a 40GE LR module, it can stably transmit over 10km, maintaining a single-port rate of 40Gbps. Signal attenuation is minimal, with no packet loss or latency, meeting the needs of long-distance interconnection across data centers.
Q2: Will the simultaneous full-load operation of two 40GE optical ports be limited by the backplane bandwidth of the mid-range switch?
A2: No limitation! The line board is specifically designed for mid-range switches, with ample backplane bandwidth reserved. It supports simultaneous full-load 40GE transmission on two ports, with a total bandwidth of 80Gbps, fully matching the high bandwidth requirements of mid-range core networks without bottlenecks.
Q3: What are the key differences between this line board and the Huawei 40GE Ethernet mid-range line board (ES1D2H02QX2E)? How to choose?
A3: The core difference lies in transmission distance and medium: ES1D2H02QX2S (optical port + fiber optic, 100m-40km) is suitable for long-distance, cross-regional interconnection; the electrical port version (copper cable, ≤30m) is suitable for short-distance scenarios within a data center. For long-distance, cross-regional interconnection, choose the optical port version; for short-distance interconnection within a data center, choose the electrical port version.
