FAQ

How many models are in cisco-catalyst-3850-series?

This landing lists published catalog assignments (8 at audit time). Counts change only when catalog assignments change.

No. Match downlink, uplink, and PoE fields for the exact PID.

Where are comparisons?

Open More comparisons or a PID pair comparison when both models are in the catalog.

Why reject 96×SFP28 copy for N9K-C93600CD-GX?

That faceplate belongs to a different Nexus class. QianliSwitch maps N9K-C93600CD-GX to Cisco OEM 28×QSFP28 + 8×QSFP-DD specifications only.

Is Ruijie PoF the same as RJ45 PoE?

No. PoF delivers power over hybrid fiber cable alongside optical data. It is not a copper 802.3at closet design. Confirm hybrid cable plant and PSU modules before RFQ.

What ports does RG-S5750-24SFP4XS24DP-UP provide?

Ruijie materials list 24 × 1G SFP downlinks, 4 × 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, and a DB78 hybrid power interface for up to 24 Power-over-Fiber outputs (up to 100 W each). See RG-S5750-24SFP4XS24DP-UP.

Is N9K-C93600CD-GX a 25G SFP28 leaf?

No. Per Cisco N9300-GX materials, N9K-C93600CD-GX provides 28 × 40/100G QSFP28 and 8 × 40/100/400G QSFP-DD ports. For a 48 × SFP28 leaf, evaluate N9K-C93180YC-FX3.

What ports does CE5855-48T4XS have?
What ports does CE5855-48T4XS have?
