With the rise of AI training, 4K/8K streaming, and cloud services, 100G switches have become critical for data centers and enterprise networks. Compared to legacy 10G/40G switches, 100G technology offers higher port density, lower latency, and energy efficiency, addressing bottlenecks in massive data processing. The C-LIGHT CLS6862-54XC is designed to meet these demands with next-gen performance.
Technical Breakdown of CLS6862-54XC
●High Capacity & Port Density
-1.92Tbps Non-Blocking: 48×10G SFP+, 2×40G QSFP, and 4×100G QSFP28 ports to connect hundreds of servers/storage nodes.
-Flexible Topology: Split 100G ports into 4×25G or 2×50G via breakout cables for legacy device compatibility.
●Energy Efficiency & Thermal Design
-88W Ultra-Low Power: Advanced ASIC and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) reduce consumption by 30%.
-Smart Cooling: Operates from -10°C to 55°C with multi-directional airflow for dense racks.
●Network Virtualization
-Supports VXLAN/EVPN for multi-tenant isolation and cross-DC traffic.
-Integrates OpenFlow 1.3 for SDN controllers (e.g., ONOS) to simplify operations.
Applications
