1 Product overview

1.1 Overview

QX-S5500 Series Ethernet Switches (hereinafter referred to as the QX-S5500 series) are Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switching products. QX-S5500 series are designed as distribution or access devices for intranets and metropolitan area networks (MANs). Supporting IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and 10 GE uplink interfaces, the QX-S5500 series provide abundant service features and can also be used for connecting server groups in data centers.

QX-S5500 series support the Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) technology. You can connect multiple QX-S5500 switches through 10 GE ports to form a logical entity, thus to establish a new intelligent network with high reliability, expandability and manageability.

QX-S5500 series include 4 models, and have the system specifications as shown in Table 1-1.

Figure 1-9 2-port 10G BASE-CX4 interface module (LS-CX2-T2)

A 2-port 10 GE CX4 interface module provides two 10 Gbps electrical ports and supports CX4 electrical and protocol standards. Only NEC's CX4 cables can be used for connecting the CX4 ports. A CX4 cable is hot swappable and its maximum transmission distance is 3 m, which is suitable for short-distance connections only.
