Data Center Switches Overview
Data Center Switches includes two 1U rackmount Layer 3 managed Ethernet switches for high-density enterprise and campus networks. The series covers 25GbE access and 100GbE switching through SFP28 and QSFP28 interfaces, supporting both uniform high-bandwidth port layouts and mixed access-uplink architectures. Its range spans a 32-port all-100GbE platform and a leaf model combining forty-eight 25GbE ports with eight 100GbE uplinks. The primary difference is the interface distribution: S1000-32C concentrates on dense 100GbE connectivity, while S1000-48B8C separates 25GbE access from 100GbE uplinks.
S1000-32C is a 1U Layer 3 managed data center switch with 32 QSFP28 ports, each operating at 100GbE. Its uniform 32-port architecture provides dense 100GbE connectivity without separate lower-speed access and dedicated uplink port groups. The switch supports high-bandwidth aggregation and inter-switch connections in enterprise and campus networks using a consistent QSFP28 interface configuration.
S1000-48B8C is a 1U Layer 3 managed leaf switch with 48 SFP28 access ports operating at 25GbE and eight QSFP28 uplink ports operating at 100GbE, forming a 56-port physical configuration. Its divided interface architecture connects 25GbE access layers to higher-speed 100GbE network links within the same chassis. The model supports enterprise and campus leaf deployments requiring clearly separated access and uplink port groups.
FAQ
- What port configuration does the S1000-32C provide for high-density 100GbE connections in the Data Center Switches category?
It provides 32 QSFP28 ports. All listed front-panel Ethernet ports operate at 100GbE, giving the S1000-32C a uniform high-density 100GbE interface layout in a 1U Layer 3 managed switch.
- Does the S1000-32C use separate 25GbE access and 100GbE uplink port groups like the S1000-48B8C?
No. The S1000-32C does not use divided access and uplink groups; it provides 32 x 100GbE QSFP28 ports. The S1000-48B8C uses 48 x 25GbE SFP28 access ports and 8 x 100GbE QSFP28 uplinks.
- What network role is the S1000-32C intended for when deployed with other 100GbE switches or aggregation links?
It is intended for dense 100GbE switching. The uniform QSFP28 layout supports high-bandwidth aggregation and inter-switch connections in enterprise and campus networks.
- Which cable or optical module category should be matched with the QSFP28 ports on the S1000-32C?
Use 100GbE QSFP28-compatible cabling or transceivers. The product information identifies QSFP28 100GbE ports; the exact DAC, AOC, multimode optical, or single-mode optical option depends on the required link distance and the connected QSFP28 equipment.
- How much rack space should be reserved for installing the S1000-32C in a standard equipment rack?
One rack unit. The S1000-32C is a 1U rackmount data center switch, so it reserves 1U while providing 32 QSFP28 100GbE ports.
- Can customers ask AICPLIGHT to confirm whether the S1000-32C fits a planned 100GbE port layout before ordering?
Yes. Contact AICPLIGHT before ordering to check whether the 32-port 100GbE QSFP28 layout matches your port count, cabling, aggregation, and inter-switch connection requirements.
