Networking components: optics, interface cards & mounting

Additional material to complete your switches and network: uplink interface cards, optical transceivers for fibre connections and mounting hardware for a tidy comms cabinet.

How to choose?

• Interface card — expand a switch with extra 10GE or 25GE uplink ports for more bandwidth towards your core.
• Optical transceiver — choose by distance and connection type; a BiDi transceiver sends and receives over a single fibre strand.
• Mounting — a DIN rail bracket makes 19-inch equipment rack-mountable in a comms cabinet.

Looking for the switches themselves? See the switches, or ask a reseller for advice.
