Product Guide (withdrawn product)
The RackSwitch™ G7028 is an inexpensive entry level Layer 2 1/10 Gb Ethernet switch that is designed for the data center. Datacenter customers continue to deploy applications using 1 GbE networking switches while 10 GbE continues to grow for customer solutions requiring greater I/O bandwidth. The RackSwitch G7028 is an ideal solution for data center customers looking for an economical 1 Gb and 10 Gb connectivity solution. The RackSwitch G7028 (Figure 1) is a top-of-rack data center switch that delivers excellent non-blocking, wire speed performance at an attractive price point. It supports twenty-four 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports standard, while typically using only 45 watts of power. The RackSwitch G7028 is also designed with rear-to-front airflow, which allows for flexible mounting of the switch in a rack cabinet and provides convenient cable management and significant savings in cooling costs.

Supported cables and transceivers
With the flexibility of the G7028 switch, clients can use the technologies that they require for the following environments:

• For 1 GbE links, clients can use RJ-45 UTP cables up to 100 meters. Clients that need longer distances can use the SFP/SFP+ ports by using a 1000BASE-SX transceiver, which can drive distances up to 220 meters by using 62.5 µ multi-mode fiber and up to 550 meters with 50 µ multi-mode fiber or the 1000BASE-LX transceivers that support distances up to 10 kilometers by using single-mode fiber (1310 nm).
• For 10 GbE (supported on SFP+ ports), clients can use direct-attached copper (DAC) SFP+ cables for in-rack cabling for distances up to 7 meters. These DAC cables have SFP+ connectors on each end, and they do not need separate transceivers. For longer distances, the 10GBASE-SR transceiver can support distances up to 300 meters over OM3 multimode fiber or up to 400 meters over OM4 multimode fiber with LC connectors. The 10GBASE-LR transceivers can support distances up to 10 kilometers on single-mode fiber with LC connectors.

Benefits

The RackSwitch G7028 switch is considered particularly suited for these clients:

• Clients who want to leverage GbE in their infrastructure (both servers and networking)
• Clients who are implementing a virtualized environment and require multiple GbE ports
• Clients who require investment protection for 10 GbE ports
• Clients who want to reduce TCO and improve performance while maintaining high levels of availability and security
• Clients who want to avoid or minimize oversubscription, which can result in congestion and loss of performance
• Clients who want to implement a converged infrastructure with NAS or iSCSI

The switch offers the following key benefits:

• Increases network performance The RackSwitch G7028 provides up to 128 Gbps of switching throughput, supports four SFP+ 10 Gb uplink ports for zero oversubscription, and has a port to port latency of 3.3 microseconds.
• Lower power and exceptional cooling The RackSwitch G7028 typically consumes just 45 W of power. Unlike side-cooled switches, which can cause heat recirculation and reliability concerns, the RackSwitch G7028 switch’s rear-to-front cooling design reduces data center air conditioning costs by matching airflow to the server’s configuration in the rack.
• Fault tolerance These switches learn alternative paths automatically and perform faster convergence if there is a link, switch, or power failure. The switch uses technologies such as Virtual Link Aggregation, L2 trunk failover, and HotLinks.
• Seamless interoperability RackSwitch switches interoperate seamlessly with other vendors’ upstream switches.
