7H4202-72
The 7H4202‐72 DFE‐Platinum module has 72, 10BASE‐T/100BASE‐TX compliant ports,
via fixed front panel RJ45 connectors. The 7H4202‐72 can be installed in a Matrix E7,
Matrix N7, or Matrix N3 chassis.
Each of the fixed front panel ports can operate in either half‐duplex or full‐duplex mode
of operation. The duplex mode can be determined by either auto‐negotiation or manual
configuration.
The DFE‐Platinum module ports can be configured to control traffic by limiting the rate of
traffic accepted into the module and prioritizing traffic to expedite the flow of higher
priority traffic through the module in a secure manor.
The DFE‐Platinum module receives power and backplane connectivity when it is inserted
into the Matrix E7, Matrix N7, or Matrix N3 chassis.
