Short description
MES3324 is an Ethernet aggregation switch that can be used in service provider networks as aggregation or transport switch. It has a great margin of performance due to universal interfaces operating at speeds of 10Gbps or 1Gbps.

MES aggregation switches’ feature set includes advanced L2 functions, static routing, dynamic routing, 4 SFP+ 10 Gbps interfaces, stacking of up to 8 devices, redundant and hot swappable power supplies.

The switches comply with CE requirements.
