1.2 Product Description
Powerful 40Gbps Solution for Networks
PLANET XGS-5240-24X2QR is a high performance Layer 2+ Managed Switch that meets the next
generation Metro, Data Center, Campus and Enterprise network requirements. It has high-density 24
10G SFP+ and 2 40G QSFP fiber interfaces delivered in a 1RU rugged case.
To help customer stay on top of business, the XGS-5240-24X2QR not only offers ultra high
transmission performance, but also IPv4/IPv6 VLAN routing feature which allows to cross over
different VLAN groups and IP addresses for the purpose of having a highly-secure, flexible
management.
The administrator can flexibly choose the suitable transceivers according to the transmission
distance or the transmission speed required extending the 1G/10G/40G network efficiently. Besides,
with 640Gbps switching capacity, the XGS-5240-24X2QR can handle extremely large amounts of
data in a secure topology linking to backbone or high capacity servers where audio, video streaming
and multicast applications are utilized.
High Reliability Hardware Stacking
Using QSFP+ port to connect several servers and build a virtually logical facility, the
XGS-5240-24X2QR gives the enterprises, service providers and telecoms flexible control over port
density, uplinks and switch stack performance. The stack redundancy of the XGS-5240-24X2QR
ensures that data integrity is retained even if one switch in the stack fails. You can even hot-swap
switches without disrupting the network, which greatly simplifies the tasks of upgrading the LAN for
catering to increasing bandwidth demands
Redundant AC/DC Power Supply to Ensure Continuous Operation
The XGS-5240-24X2QR is particularly equipped with one 100~240V AC power supply unit and one
36~72V DC power supply unit to provide an enhanced reliable and scalable redundant power supply.
The continuous power system is specifically designed to fulfill the demands of high-tech facilities
requiring the highest power integrity. With the 36~72V DC power supply, the XGS-5240-24X2QR is
able to act as a telecom-level device that can be located in the electronic room.
