CE8850-64CQ-EI 64-Port 100GE QSFP28 Ethernet Switch with Port-side Intake and Dual AC Power Modules

The CE8850-64CQ-EI is a next-generation, high-density 100GE QSFP28 Ethernet switch engineered for enterprise data centers and high-performance cloud computing networks. This flagship hardware platform delivers robust switching capacity, ultra-low latency, and an extensive suite of data center features. Engineered for reliability and scalability, the switch facilitates seamless high-bandwidth transitions, ensuring uninterrupted data flow for mission-critical applications, virtualization, and large-scale storage environments.

Equipped with 64 high-density 100GE QSFP28 ports, this switch optimizes space utilization while maximizing throughput. The architectural design supports flexible line-rate forwarding, allowing data centers to manage massive traffic spikes effortlessly. Furthermore, its advanced virtualization capabilities enable network administrators to consolidate multiple physical switches into a single logical entity, simplifying network topology, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).

To maintain optimal thermal management in high-density rack environments, the CE8850-64CQ-EI features a dedicated Port-side Intake (front-to-back) airflow configuration, aligning perfectly with modern hot/cold aisle containment designs. The hardware redundancy architecture includes dual (2) hot-swappable AC power modules and three (3) independent fan boxes. This fully redundant layout guarantees continuous system availability, eliminating single points of failure and enabling hot-maintenance upgrades without network downtime.
