TECHNICAL INFORMATION

All models ship with two ﬁxed SFP+ ports that operate at 1 Gb/s by default. Operation at 10 Gb/s requires installing the OS6450-SW-PERF license. These models also offer a two-port expansion slot for additional gigabit uplinks or 10Gb/s stacking modules. Both PoE and non-PoE models are full rack width, power optimized, ﬁxed conﬁguration chassis in a 1U form factor. The “S” models support IEEE 1588v2 Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) through end-to-end Transparent Clock (TC) for network-wide time-synchronizedapplications.
