The NC8400-4TH switch supports a maximum of 128x 40G/100G, or 64x 40/100G with 16x 400G high-density ports through flexible line cards combinations of NC8400-32C and NC8400-16CD. It's optimal for spine deployments in large data centres, HPC, service providers and cloud providers.
The switch employs an advanced cache scheduling mechanism to maximise the device's cache capability. With RoCEv2, PFC and ECN to implement the low-latency, zero packet loss, high throughput and service forwarding rate, ensuring non-blocking transmission in the increasingly demanding data centre environment.
