Multi-Giga Access

Scenario Demands
• Some wireless campus or venues with high speed requirements • Increase bandwidth to meet the needs of wired and wireless
• Campus applications of large bandwidth such as AR, VR, and 8K HD video
video • Users have high performance demands on campus

Core

40G/100G High-performance campus to meet the

cabling, no need of changing cables.
Long-distance PoE & High-power POE

Scenario
• In the scenarios of video conference, IOT terminal, and video
surveillance, the switch provides PoE functions to terminals (AP,
camera, VDI) to reduce cabling costs.
Demands
• Small, medium and high power 90W POE needs
• When the switch/PD is restarted, the PD is powered up in very short time.
• When the switch is restarted, the power of PD should not be interrupted.
• Under limited conditions, the transmission distance of PoE is greater than 100 meters.

PoE/PoE+/PoE++: provide max

15W/30W/90W power separately

Camera
Fast PoE：The PD is powered up in
Using PoE technology to satisfy
4~5 seconds when the switch is
restarting distance more than 100m or
Perpetual PoE：Non PoE monitoring/wireless scenario, no
Terminal
