Features
Data Center 400GE Core Switch RG-S6980-64QC
High-speed and high-density core switch in a data center with 64 x 400GE QSFP-DD ports in the 4 RU space, delivering scalable,
high-performance and high-bandwidth services and coping with interconnection on a large data center network
Hardware-level Redundancy, Ensuring Service Continuity
Hot-Swappable Redundant Power Modules
Power modules in 2+2 redundancy mode, failover in seconds, and power module replacement without network interruption, providing double protection for links
Hot-Swappable Redundant Fan Modules
modules Fan modules in 7+1 redundancy mode, intelligent fan speed adjustment, and highly-efficient heat dissipation, building low-carbon data centers
Communication at the Maximum Distance of 120 km and Easy DCI
400GE ZR/ZR+ optical modules are used for interconnection reducing intermediate transmission devices and helping a cloud or hyper-scale data center network to adapt to growing high-bandwidth services.
Lossless Ethernet with RDMA E2E Communication and Zero Packet Loss
With RDMA technology, data does not need to be handled by the CPU during device communication. This reduces the CPU burden and effectively solves the network latency problem.
PFC+ECN, intelligent data exchange, and packet loss prevention, ensuring lossless data transmission
Telemetry-based Network Monitoring and Automated O&M, Making Management Simple and Efficient
The switch enabled with telemetry provides clear data status and hierarchy.
The switch uses the push mode to proactively collect and push information and to provide sub-second-level network monitoring in real time, making network management more efficient and accurate.
