Introduction
1-1 Overview
The SSE-X3348T/SSE-X3348TR switch is built with leading-edge technology to deliver
reliable high-performance connectivity for your data network.
The SSE-X3348T/SSE-X3348TR switch is a high-performance top-of-rack switch,
designed for data center operating environments. The switch provides 48 10GBASE-T
RJ-45 ports, four 40G Quad Small Form Factor Pluggable Plus (QSFP+) ports, and two
1G RJ-45 ports. The switch also includes replacable dual power supply units and a fan
tray module.
The switch supports a full set of Layer 2 switching, data center bridging, and Layer 3
routing features. The switch can be deployed as a top-of-rack (TOR) or distributed spine
switch to form a network fabric that can reduce infrastructure expenses and power
consumption in the data center. This network fabric can be used to interconnect tens of
thousands of servers delivering cloud computing services.
The SSE-X3348T switch provides front-to-back (F2B) airflow cooling and the
SSE-X3348TR provides back-to-front (B2F) airflow cooling. The airflow options enable
rack deployment with either servers or other switches, allowing cool aisles to be
maintained without creating “hot loops.”
