Switch Description
DXS-3400 Series is D-Link's latest 10G, Light Layer 3, managed switch, containing 20 10GBASE-T ports with 4
10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports, or 20 SFP+ ports with 4 10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports. The major target
application for the DXS-3400 Series is the aggregation of switches in the network, or integration of the DXS-3400
Series as the Top-of-Rack (ToR) switch in a corporation's Data Center or server farm.
DXS-3400 Series supports a High Availability (HA) design by utilizing virtual and physical stacking, a redundant power
supply, and multiple removable fans. With stacking architecture, only a single IP address is needed to manage all
switches in the stack. The DXS-3400 Series also provides great flexibility to adding or removing a switch to and from
the network without interrupting normal network operation. The redundant power supply design provides a reliable HA
architecture to ensure non-stop operation.
The DXS-3400-24TC supports 20 10GBASE-T ports with 4 10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports.
The DXS-3400-24SC supports 20 10G SFP+ ports with 4 10GBASE-T/SFP+ combo ports.
The 10GBASE-T standard provides the requisite backwards compatibility that allows end users to transparently
upgrade from a 10/100/1000 Mbps network to a 10 Gbps network by using cost-effective unshielded or shielded,
Category 6, 6A, or 7 RJ45 cables.
10G SFP+ has advantages of lower power consumption, longer distance support, and better latency performance.
