Product overview
RG-S6980-64QC is a fixed 4RU 400G core switch: 64 × 400GE QSFP-DD, 51.2 Tbps, and 10,300 Mpps on authorized listings, with 2+2 PSU and 7+1 fan redundancy. Use it when the fabric itself is 400G — not when you only need a few 400G uplinks on a 100G faceplate.
Compare it with RG-S6980-128DC when the design prefers dense 200G ports, and with CE8850-64CQ-EI when the optic plan is still 100G only.

Deployment scenarios
AI/HPC or storage fabrics that light many 400G links.
Spine roles replacing multiple lower-density 100G platforms.
Ruijie RG-S6980 shortlists comparing 64×400G vs 128×200G.
Data center leaf-spine / TOR planning based on the published optic mix. Leaf / TOR where the published optic map matches fabric speed. Fabric planning starts from published capacity (51.2 Tbps).
Technical selection notes
Power module count on this catalog row means four PSU slots with 2+2 redundancy language from authorized data — confirm the installed PSU model (for example RG-PA3000I-F class) on the quote. Rack depth is about 735 mm.
Not recommended for
Not a 100G-only faceplate — use CE8850-64CQ-EI or RG-S6520-64CQ when every port is 100G.
Not a mixed 48×100G + 8×400G leaf — use RG-S6580-48CQ8QC for that faceplate.
Not a campus access switch.
What to confirm on the quote
- Exact PID RG-S6980-64QC
- How many 400G ports will be lit and which optics
- PSU and fan airflow preference
- Rack depth for a 4RU chassis
- Quantity, destination, documentation, availability
Related / alternative models
Same-brand family first, then same deployment role, then cross-brand equivalents when useful. Different power/optic technologies are labeled explicitly.
