Key selling points

High-port density: DGS-6600 supports up to 144 Gb ports or 2410GbE ports, making it an ideal alternative to stackable switches

Distributed switching design: Built-in intelligence in each linecard to eliminate unnecessary backplane traffic and provide faster

forwarding rates Non blocking architecture: Ample bandwidth between the

Control Module and each line card for wire-speed communication

Redundant Power Supply: Up to 4 Power Supplies to providepower to PoE ports and to avoid network downtime

Full-budget PoE support: Up to 144 PoE ports can be supportedin one single chassis with no compromise on power budget

D-Link GreenTM: Power-saving technology that reduces theelectricity bills and increases the products lifespan
