Provides data packet processing and traffic management on 36 100GE optical ports, which can be split into a maximum of 36 40GE optical ports, 144 25GE optical ports or 144 10GE optical ports.
Maximum port density
If all LPUs are CE-L36CQ-FG cards:
The CE12804/CE12804S chassis provides a maximum of 144 100GE ports.
The CE12808/CE12808S chassis provides a maximum of 288 100GE ports.
The CE12812 chassis provides a maximum of 432 100GE ports.
The CE12816 chassis provides a maximum of 576 100GE ports.
100GE port
Supports QSFP28 optical modules. A 100GE port can be used as a 40GE port or split into four 25GE or 10GE ports. Therefore, a CE-L36CQ-FG card can provide a maximum port density of 36x40GE, 144x25GE, or 144x10GE.
NOTE:
All the 100GE ports are independent, and each can be configured as one 40GE, four 25GE, or four 10GE ports.
Limitations and Descriptions
Ports on the CE-L36CQ-FG card can be divided into two groups. Ports 0 to 8 and ports 18 to 26 form a group, and ports 9 to 17 and ports 27 to 35 form another group. When the CE-SFU16G is used, ports in the same group can forward data at the line rate, but data cannot be forwarded at the line rate across the two groups and up to 50% of packets can be lost.
When the CE-L36CQ-FG card works with the SFU matching the CE12800S and the backplane-side bandwidth is insufficient, data cannot be forwarded at the line rate.

CE-L36CQ-FG FAQ
Q1: Which Huawei switch models does the CE-L36CQ-FG support? How compatible is it?
A1: It mainly supports high-end Huawei switches such as the CE9800 series (CE9866, CE9855) and CE8800 series (CE8850, CE8860, CE8868). It is fully compatible in both hardware and software, with 100% compatibility and no additional debugging required.
Q2: Will the energy-saving design affect the interface card performance? How is the multi-rate compatibility?
A2: Energy saving is achieved through hardware optimization and intelligent power consumption adjustment, without affecting forwarding performance or port speed. Multi-rate adaptive switching allows seamless integration with 100G/40G/25G/10G devices without compatibility issues.
Q3: What is the difference between the CE-L36CQ-FG and the regular CE-L36CQ-SD? How should one choose for a green data center?
A3: Both have the same core performance, but the CE-L36CQ-FG focuses on energy-saving design and has lower power consumption; for green data centers, large-scale deployments, or energy-sensitive scenarios, choosing the CE-L36CQ-FG has a greater long-term cost advantage.
