Long-term operating temperature
-5°C to +50°C at an altitude of 0-1800 m
Short-term operating temperature
-5°C to +55°C at an altitude of 0-1800 m
Restriction on the operating temperature variation rate
When the altitude is 1800-5000 m, the highest operating temperature reduces by 1°C every time the altitude increases by 220 m.
The operating temperature ranges from -5°C to +45°C when optical modules with transmission distances greater than or equal to 70 km are used.
The equipment can operate beyond the normal operating temperature range for a short-term period, but the following conditions must be met:
The equipment operates at a temperature of over 50°C consecutively for at most 96 hours in one year.
The equipment operates at a temperature of over 50°C for a total of no more than 360 hours in one year.
The equipment operates at a temperature of over 50°C for no more in 15 times in one year.
The equipment may be damaged or experience unexpected exceptions if any of the preceding limits is exceeded.
The equipment cannot start when the temperature is lower than 0°C. The maximum distance of optical modules used in these conditions cannot exceed 10 km.

What is a Switch? A switch is a device that enables communication between two or more IT devices, such as computers, servers, printers, and more. It helps devices within a network share resources, including printers, file storage, internet access, and application processing. In simple terms, a switch acts as a "traffic hub" in a network.
Key Characteristics:
Intelligent Forwarding: Unlike a basic hub, a switch intelligently directs data packets only to the intended recipient device based on MAC addresses.
Efficient Communication: This targeted data transmission reduces unnecessary traffic, enhances network performance, and improves security within the local network.
Scalability: Switches come in various sizes, from small desktop models for home/office use to large modular switches for enterprise data centers.
Common Applications:
Connecting devices within a Local Area Network (LAN)
Building enterprise networks, data centers, or home networks
Supporting resource sharing and collaborative workflows
In summary, a switch is a fundamental networking device that efficiently manages and directs data flow, ensuring smooth and reliable communication between connected devices.
Core Functions of a Switch The primary functions of a switch include:
VLAN Segmentation – Enhances network security by isolating traffic into separate virtual networks.
Targeted Forwarding – Improves network performance by accurately identifying and forwarding data only to the intended destination device.
Traffic Control – Optimizes network reliability and stability through mechanisms like Quality of Service (QoS) and loop prevention (e.g., Spanning Tree Protocol).
Link Aggregation – Increases bandwidth and provides redundancy by combining multiple physical links into a single logical channel.
Working Principle of a Switch A switch operates at either the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) or the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model:
Layer 2 Switch: Forwards data based on MAC addresses.
Layer 3 Switch: Forwards data based on IP addresses.
A switch continuously learns the MAC addresses of connected devices and records them in its MAC address table. The core processes include:
Learning: Records the source MAC address and its corresponding port.
Forwarding: Precisely forwards frames to the destination port based on the target MAC address.
Flooding: If the target MAC address is not found in the table, the switch broadcasts the frame to all ports (except the source port).
Update: Periodically refreshes the MAC address table to ensure accuracy and remove stale entries.
