The VSP 7024XT model features 24 fixed RJ45 ports supporting the 10GBASE-T standard. In addition the VSP 7024XT also features the VSP 7000's versatile Media Dependent Adapter (MDA) slot that delivers support for a range of high-speed expansion options, such as additional 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (SFP+ sockets or 10GBASE-T via RJ45) and 40 Gigabit Ethernet ports (QSFP+ sockets); and is also future-ready for a 100 Gigabit Ethernet MDA. An innovative design helps ensures that the appropriate portion of the switching fabric's powerful 1,280Gbps performance is dedicated to supporting MDA-based connections, while still providing for wire-speed throughout for all front panel and high-capacity fabric interconnections.
