Introducing the Switch
Introducing the Switch
The 6600-24G Switch has 20 auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports, four
dual-personality ports—either auto-sensing 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 or mini-
GBIC (Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP)) ports.
The 6600-24G-4XG Switch has the same ports as the Switch 6600-24G plus it
also has 4 SFP+ slots for 10-GbE connectivity. The specification for SFP+
defines the physical and electrical characteristics of this form-factor (size and
shape). The form-factor is identical to SFP, but the SFP+ is a 10-Gigabit
Ethernet transceiver.
The 6600-24XG Switch has 24 SFP+ slots. All slots are 10-GbE.

Direct attach cables (DAC) are low-cost 10-GbE connectivity options consisting of a one,
three, or seven meter cable with SFP+ connectors permanently attached to each end.
For supported transceivers see www.procurve.com/faqs. Both ProCurve 10-GbE trans-
ceivers and ProCurve Mini-GBICs and SFPs have links to a list of supported products
(first question in the “General Product Information” category).
For technical details of cabling and technologies see Appendix B, “Cabling and Tech-
nology Information”.
