COMPLIANCES AND SAFETY STATEMENTS
FCC - CLASS A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equ ipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.
You may use unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) for RJ-45 connections - Category 3 or better for 10 Mbps
connections, Category 5 or better for 100 Mbps connectio ns, Category 5, 5e, or 6 for 1000 Mbp s conn ections.
For fiber optic connections, you may use 50/125 or 62.5/125 micron multimode fiber or 9/125 micron singlemode fiber.
CE MARK DECLARATION OF CONFORMANCE FOR EMI AND SAFETY (EEC)
This information technology equipment complies with the requirements of the Council Directive 89/336/EEC
on the Approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to Electromagnetic Compatibility and 73/23/
EEC for electrical equipment used within certain voltage limits and the Amendment Directive 93/ 68/EEC. For
the evaluation of the compliance with these Directives, the following standards were applied:
RFI Emission Limit according to EN 55022:2010, Class A
Limit for harmonic current emission according to EN 61000-3-2:2006+A1:2009+A2:2009
Limitation of voltage fluctuation and flicker in low-voltage supply system according to
EN 61000-3-3:2008

IEC 61000-4-11:2004
EN 60950-1:2006+A11:2009
SAFETY COMPLIANCE
Warning: Fiber Optic Port Safety
When using a fiber optic port, never look at the transmit laser while it is powered on. Also, never look
directly at the fiber TX port and fiber cable ends when they are powered on.
Avertissment: Ports pour fibres optiques - sécurité sur le plan optique
Ne regardez jamais le laser tant qu'il est sous tension. Ne regardez jamais directement le port TX
(Transmission) à fibres optiques et les embouts de câbles à fibres optiques tant qu'ils sont sous tension.
Warnhinweis: Faseroptikanschlüsse - Optische Sicherheit
Niemals ein Übertragungslaser betrachten, während dieses eingeschaltet ist. Niemals direkt auf den
Faser-TX-Anschluß und auf die Faserkabelenden schauen, während diese eingeschaltet sind.

INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The AG-7448CU is a bandwidth rich switch. The device has forty-eight 10GbE SFP+ ports
and four 40GbE QSFP slots. In addition to the rich bandwidth, the AG-7448CU provides
comprehensive switch hardware capability to support Cumulus layer 2 and layer 3 features.
FCoE and MPLS are also supported on the AG-7448CU Designed for high-speed
throughput and featuring leading edge software, this switch carries on Agema's tradition of
producing affordable, high performance workgroup layer 3 stackable switches.
FEATURES
The following lists the key main features of the AG-7448CU switch:
640Gbps switching bandwidth (1280Gbps duplex)
Support Jumbo Frame up to 12Kbyte
Automatic address learning function to build the packet-forwarding information table.
The table contains up to 128K MAC addresses
Store-and-Forward transmission to remove bad packets from the network
Alternate Store-Forward (ASF) mode - Cut-through is available to minimize the latency
Power supply LED / Stack ID / FAN status LED indication
Extensive system LED and per port LEDs
External power supply
Standard 1U chassis high
17" rack mountable
Memory Management:
8 MB of packet buffer memory
