P4CF FAQ
Q1: What is the maximum single-port speed of the Huawei P4CF interface card? Does it support hot-swapping?
A1: The maximum single-port speed is 400Gbps. It supports QSFP-DD module hot-swapping; module replacement does not require restarting the switch and does not affect services.
Q2: Is the P4CF interface card compatible with the Huawei S7703 switch? What is the maximum number of cards that can be inserted simultaneously?
A2: Compatible with the S7703 switch (system version upgrade required); a single S7712 switch supports a maximum of 6 P4CF interface cards, providing 24 400G ports.
Q3: What are the advantages of P4CF compared to 100G interface cards (such as the Huawei ES1D2G48VX5E)?
A3: Single-port speed is increased by 4 times, single-slot port density is increased by 2 times, slot occupancy is reduced by 75% for the same bandwidth requirements, and long-term maintenance costs are reduced by 50%.
