Data center switch MES5400-24

Mass production

Key features

High performance (up to 6.4 Тbps)
Non-blocking architecture
L3 switches
Stacking up to 8 devices
Power supply redundancy
Front-to-Back cooling
Dual ventilation system

MES5400-24 switches are high performance devices with 40GBASE-R / 100GBASE-R interfaces that can be used as aggregation or transport switches in carrier networks and as Top-of-Rack or End-of-Row switches for data centers.

The devices’ ports support operation at rates of 1 Gbps (SFP), 10 Gbps (SFP+), 40 Gbps (QSFP+) and 100 Gbps (QSFP28).

The non-blocking architecture guarantees lossless packet forwarding at wire speed with minimum and predictable delays for all types of traffic. The front-to-back cooling provides effective cooldown in modern data centers.

The redundant and hot-swappable fans and AC/DC power supplies along with advanced hardware monitoring func-tions provide high reliability and uninterrupted services.

The devices support EVPN/VXLAN technology to create networks with simple, high-performance and scalable data center architecture.
