What are the benefits of the half-width size of the switches?

The half-width size switch offers a compact and space-saving solution, ideal for limited rack space. It allows for efficient use of cabinet space, enabling more devices to be accommodated within the same area.

What AV scene features does this switch support?

This switch supports IGMP V1/V2/V3, PIM (V4 V6)DM/SM/SSM, and Qos full multicast features, meeting the traffic control needs of AV scenarios.

What connectivity options are available for the S5850-12XMS2C?

The S5850-12XMS2C provides 12 multi-gigabit 10GBASE-T ports, 12 SFP+ ports, and 2x 100G QSFP28 ports, with the 100G ports supporting operation at 40G or breakout into 4x 10G or 4x 25G. You can select cables or transceivers based on the required link speed, such as 10G-T (#66799), 1G SFP (#156925), 10G SFP+ (#21254), 25G SFP28 (#47087), 40G QSFP+ (#30960), or 100G QSFP28 (#47096), with cable length selected as needed. You can also refer to the “Connectivity Solutions” section on the product detail page for additional compatible modules and cabling options.

I want to mount two S5850C-12XMS2C switches side by side in a 19-inch rack using 1U space. Do I need to purchase a mounting kit separately?

No additional mounting kit is required. The S5850C-12XMS2C comes with the necessary rack mounting brackets, allowing two units to be installed side by side in a standard 19-inch rack using 1U of space. For information on the included accessories and installation steps, please refer to the S5850C Series Switches Quick Start Guide V1.0.

We are planning to deploy two S5850C-12XMS2C switches in an MLAG setup with 100G links. What do you recommend for the interconnect?

In most MLAG deployments, both switches are installed in the same rack. A 100G DAC cable is the most convenient and cost-effective option in this case, and #104215 is recommended.

The switch has two 100G ports. Can I use one as an uplink and the other as a downlink?

Yes. The two 100G ports on the S5850C series switches are flexible and can be used independently. One port can be used to connect to a core or aggregation switch, while the other can connect to servers or other devices.
