PRT-HC3-X24 Module

The PRT-HC3-X24 module provides a total 240Gb/600Gb of connectivity with line rate on-board switching across twenty-four 10Gb/25Gb SFP+, SFP28, and SFP+ Copper ports. Refer to Figure 1 PRT-HC3-X24 Module.

When four PRT-HC3-X24 modules are installed in the node, the GigaVUE-HC3 provides ninety-six 10Gb ports.

Note:  The PRT-HC3-X24 module does not support 1Gb.

All ports in the PRT-HC3-X24 module can be used as network, tool, or hybrid ports. Moreover, the 10Gb ports can be used as stack-link ports.

Starting in software version 5.4, SFP28 transceivers support 25Gb.

Note:  To support 25Gb functionality, the GigaVUE-HC3 node must be equipped with Control Card version 2 (CCv2).

For details about the supported transceiver, cable type, fanout, inline ports, and clusters, refer to “GigaVUE-OS Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix”.
