1.1.2 Product Characteristics

1.1.1 Positioning
The Quidway S3300 Ethernet switches are class A products. Customers should take preventative
measures as the operating devices may cause radio interference.
The Quidway S3300 switch (S3300 for short) is a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) access
device that provides access and data transport functions. The S3300 is developed by Huawei to
meet the requirements for reliable access, aggregation, and high-quality transmission of multiple
services on the MAN . The S3300 functions as the access device or aggregation device of the
MAN. The S3300 provides large capacity, high port density, and cost-effective packet
forwarding capabilities. The S3300 also provides multi-service access capabilities, excellent
extensibility, quality of service (QoS) guarantee, powerful multicast replication, and carrier-
class security, and can be used to build high-reliability ring topologies.

WARNING
Some models adopt natural heat dissipation, so fans are not required.
NOTE
Currently, the S3328TP-SI/EI adopts natural heat dissipation.
The interface chip switches to the power saving mode when an interface is idle, which
means that no peer device is connected to the interface.
It uses advanced highly-integrated and energy-saving chips. With the help of the intelligent
device management system, the chips improve system performance and also reduce system
power consumption.
Product reliability is high.
There is no noise pollution.
Fans do not need to be maintained periodically, which saves the maintenance cost.
The system does not have additional power consumption generated by fans, which improves
the power efficiency.
