CE6870-48T6CQ-EI FAQ
Q1: Do the 48 10GE Ethernet ports support backward compatibility with 1G speeds? Can they be directly connected to older 1G devices?
A1: Yes, they support 10G/1G adaptive speeds. No manual configuration is required. They can be directly connected to older 1G terminals, printers, or newer 10GE servers, offering strong compatibility and protecting existing equipment investments.
Q2: What are the differences in application scenarios between Ethernet and optical ports? Why use a hybrid configuration?
A2: Ethernet ports are suitable for short-distance, low-cost access without additional optical modules; optical ports are suitable for long-distance, interference-resistant uplinks or interconnections, ensuring stable transmission. The hybrid configuration balances cost and scalability, adapting to diverse needs in small to medium-sized scenarios.
Q3: What are the differences between this model and the Huawei CE6880 series? How to choose?
A3: This model focuses on core 10GE hybrid port scenarios, offering higher cost-effectiveness; the CE6880 series includes a 25GE high-bandwidth model, suitable for data centers with higher bandwidth requirements. Choose between the two based on bandwidth needs and budget.
