ItemDetails
DescriptionS6730-H48X6C-V2 (48*10GE SFP+ ports, 6*40GE QSFP28 ports, optional license for upgrade to 6*100GE QSFP28, without power module)
Part Number02354HHT
ModelS6730-H48X6C-V2
First supported versionV600R022C00
RemarksBy default, QSFP28 optical ports work at 40 Gbit/s. A 100GE RTU license can be used to upgrade the port rate to 100 Gbit/s. To configure the ports to work at 100 Gbit/s, run the license active command to activate the license, and then run the active port-license and port mode 100GE interface commands.

Power Supply System

The switch can use a single power module or two power modules for 1+1 power redundancy. Pluggable AC and DC power modules can be used together in the same switch.

Heat Dissipation System

The switch uses pluggable fan modules for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the front side and exhausts from the rear panel.

This figure only shows the airflow direction and does not depict the actual device.
