1.2 Product Descriptions
Multiple SFP Fiber Port Switch for All Long-Reach Network Customers
To fulfill the growing demand of IP network deployment from LAN to MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), PLANET
MGSW-MGSD series Layer 2+ Managed Gigabit Fiber Etherenet Switch is specially designed to deliver profitable wide-ranging
Ethernet networks based on optical fiber technology. It features multi 100/1000BASE-X dual-speed optical SFP slots and
10/100/1000BASE-T copper interfaces, provides high-density performance, non-blocking switch fabric, and supports IPv4 and
IPv6 static Layer 3 routing in a 1U rugged case. Furthermore, it adopts “Front Access” design for easy wiring and
maintenance of the MGSW-MGSD series when placed in the cabinet. PLANET MGSW-MGSD series is ideal for all long-reach
network customers, such as enterprises, telecoms, campuses and service providers
Flexible and Extendable Solution
The multi mini-GBIC slots built in the MGSW-MGSD series support dual speed as it features 100BASE-FX and
1000BASE-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber-optic modules, meaning the administrator can flexibly choose the
suitable SFP transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the network
efficiently.
Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism
The MGSW-MGSD series supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to
easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias
current, and transceiver supply voltage.
Supporting 10Gbps Ethernet
10G Ethernet is a big leap in the evolution of Ethernet. The MGSW-28240F has four built-in 10Gbps uplink slots to greatly
support metropolitan network to achieve 10Gbps high performance in a cost-effective way, and provides broad bandwidth and
powerful processing capacity.
