10GBASE-T and 10GBASE-X SFP Dual Media Interfaces for Diversified Bandwidth Applications

PLANET’s XGS-6320-8UP4X has the capability to reach a high speed of 10Gbps over copper or fiber-optic cabling which helps to accelerate the performance of large data transmission. The built-in 10GBASE-T copper interfaces support 5-speed (10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100) auto-negotiation, and 10Gbps data transmission with the existing Cat6/Cat6A UTP cabling, meaning the speed can be increased without costs. It can definitely give you the speed you demand and its Plug and Play makes installation easy.

The fiber-optic 10GBASE-X SFP+ interfaces support 3 speeds, 10GBASE-SR/LR, 2500BASE-X and 1000BASE-SX/LX, meaning the administrator now can flexibly choose the suitable SFP/SFP+ transceiver according to the transmission distance or the transmission speed required to extend the network efficiently. 

High Power and Full-speed Data Delivered over 4-pair UTP Cabling

The XGS-6320-8UP4X meets the standards of IEEE 802.bt PoE++ technology and has a total power capacity of 420 watts. It can supply up to 95 watts of power to each PoE-compliant powered device (PD) using all four pairs of standard Cat5e/6 Ethernet cabling, ensuring high power and full-speed data delivery. Compared to the conventional 802.3at PoE+, it offers triple power capacity, making it the perfect solution for higher power consuming PDs, including:

• High-definition PoE PTZ speed dome cameras
• Network devices 
• Thin clients
• AIO (all-in-one) touch PCs, point of sale (POS) and information kiosks
• Remote digital signage displays
• PoE lightings

802.3bt PoE++ and Advanced PoE Power Output Mode Management

To meet the demand for supplying stable PoE power to various powered devices, the XGS-6320-8UP4X switch offers five different PoE power output modes for selection.

• 95W 802.3bt PoE++ Power Output Mode
• 95W Force Power Output Mode
• 36W End-span PoE Power Output Mode
• 36W Mid-span PoE Power Output Mode

Intelligent Alive Check for Powered Devices

The XGS-6320-8UP4X can be configured to monitor the status of connected powered devices (PDs) in real time through ping action. If a PD stops working and responding, the XGS-6320-8UP4X will recycle the PoE port power and bring the PD back to working condition. This greatly enhances reliability, as the assigned PoE port automatically reboots the PD, reducing the administrator's management burden.

PoE Scheduling to Save Energy

By implementing the "PoE schedule" function, businesses can reduce their energy consumption during non-business hours or periods of low network usage. This not only helps to reduce energy costs but also minimizes the overall carbon footprint of the organization.

Furthermore, the XGS-6320-8UP4X's PoE scheduling feature provides a convenient and easy-to-use interface for managing power usage. The user can easily set the time intervals for each PoE port, allowing for more efficient power management.

Scheduled Power Recycling

The XGS-6320-8UP4X enables connected PoE IP cameras or PoE wireless access points to reboot at a specific time each week. This will reduce the chance of IP camera or AP crashes resulting from buffer overflow.

Redundant Ring, Fast Recovery for Critical Network Applications

The XGS-6320 series supports redundant ring technology and features strong, rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. It incorporates advanced ITU-T G.8032 ERPS (Ethernet Ring Protection Switching) technology and Spanning Tree Protocol (802.1w RSTP) into customer’s network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments. In a certain simple Ring network, the recovery time could be less than 10ms to quickly bring the network back to normal operation.

1588 Time Protocol for Industrial Computing Networks

The XGS-6320-8UP4X is ideal for implementing Precision Time Protocol (PTP) applications as a transparent clock. It can play an important role in an IEEE 1588 and Synchronous Ethernet network by supporting MEF service delivery and timing over packet solutions

Layer 3 Routing Support

The XGS-6320 series enables the administrator to conveniently boost network efficiency by configuring Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 VLAN static routing manually, the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) or OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) settings automatically. 

The RIP can employ the hop count as a routing metric and prevent routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. 

The OSPF is an interior dynamic routing protocol for autonomous system based on link state. The protocol creates a database for link state by exchanging link states among Layer 3 switches, and then uses the Shortest Path First algorithm to generate a route table based on that database.

Robust Layer 2 Features

The XGS-6320 series can be programmed for advanced switch management function, such as dynamic port link aggregation, Q-in-Q VLAN, Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), Layer 2/4 QoS, bandwidth control and IGMP/MLD snooping. It allows the operation of a high-speed trunk combining multiple ports. Supporting 8 trunk groups, it enables a maximum of up to 16 ports per trunk and supports connection fail-over as well.

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The XGS-6320-8UP4X supports SSHv2 and TLSv1.2 protocols to provide strong protection against advanced threats. It includes a range of cybersecurity features such as DHCP Snooping, IP Source Guard, ARP Inspection Protection, 802.1x port-based, and MAC-based network access control, RADIUS and TACACS+ user accounts management, SNMPv3 authentication, and more to provide a comprehensive security solution.

Remote Management Solution

PLANET's Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and CloudViewerPro app support IT staff by remotely managing all network devices and monitoring PDs' operational statuses. Thus, they're designed for both the enterprises and industries where deployments of PDs can be as remote as possible, without having to go to the actual location once a bug or faulty condition is found. With the UNI-NMS or CloudViewerPro app, all kinds of businesses can now be speedily and efficiently managed from one platform.

Intelligent SFP Diagnosis Mechanism

The XGS-6320 series supports SFP-DDM (Digital Diagnostic Monitor) function that greatly helps network administrator to easily monitor real-time parameters of the SFP and SFP+ transceivers, such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and transceiver supply voltage.

SMTP/SNMP Trap Event Alert

Though most NVR or camera management software offers SMTP email alert function, the XGS-6320 series further provides event alert function to help to diagnose the abnormal device owing to whether or not there is a break of the network connection.
