The RackSwitch G8264T is a rackable aggregation switch with unmatched line-rate
Layer 2/3 performance. The G8264T uses a wire-speed, non-blocking switching
fabric that provides simultaneous wire-speed transport of multiple packets at low
latency on all ports.
The G8264T contains forty-eight 10GBASE-T ports and four 40GbE QSFP+ ports.
The 10GBASE-T ports can be populated with category 6 or category 6A cables.
The QSFP+ ports can be populated with optical QSFP+ transceivers or DACs.
Note: For 1000BASE-T operation, category 5e cables are supported.
This 1U switch is rack mountable in either the horizontal or vertical direction,
depending on your application.
