D-Link DXS-3600-EM-4XT 4-Port 10GBASE-T Expansion Module

Bring 10G Copper Connections to Your DXS-3600 The DXS-3600-EM-4XT adds four RJ45 connections supporting 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet. It is useful when nearby servers or network equipment need copper Ethernet connections rather than optical transceivers. Designed for DXS-3600-16S and DXS-3600-32S, this is a host-specific expansion module. It is installed in the supported expansion slot and works through the switch's hardware and software; it is not a standalone switch or a universal expansion card. Highlights Purpose-Built Connectivity 4 × 100/1000/10GBASE-T RJ45 ports Designed for DXS-3600-16S and DXS-3600-32S. A Planned Installation Uses the supported DXS-3600 expansion slot. Confirm the host hardware revision and firmware before installation. Complete the Connection Requires suitable twisted-pair copper Ethernet cabling and a compatible RJ45 Ethernet endpoint. Host switch and connection media are separate. Key Features Expand the Existing Chassis Use the available module slot to add the required connection type while retaining the compatible host switch. The module draws power and management from the host, keeping the added ports within the same installation rather than introducing a separate standalone device. Choose the Right Connection The module uses copper RJ45 ports. The negotiated speed depends on the connected device and compliant cable channel; a 10G-capable module does not increase the speed of a slower endpoint. Match the Host Before Installation Supported hosts are DXS-3600-16S and DXS-3600-32S. Check the exact chassis, available expansion slot, hardware revision and firmware before ordering. Follow the host installation procedure and plan any required maintenance window; do not assume that a module can be installed during normal operation. Plan the Complete Link The connection also needs suitable twisted-pair copper Ethernet cabling and a compatible RJ45 Ethernet endpoint. Check the equipment at both ends and the cable route, including available rack space and cable handling, so the selected module serves a complete compatible link. Summary The DXS-3600-EM-4XT is a focused upgrade for DXS-3600-16S and DXS-3600-32S. Its 4 × 100/1000/10gbase-t rj45 ports suit the stated connection task while retaining the existing compatible chassis. Confirm the host and required connection media before selecting it for a new link or an expansion project. Frequently Asked Questions Which Switches Can Use This Module?ExpandCollapse It is designed for DXS-3600-16S and DXS-3600-32S. Confirm the exact host hardware revision, firmware and available expansion slot before ordering. Is This a Complete Standalone Switch?ExpandCollapse No. It is an expansion module that requires a compatible DXS-3600 host switch. It cannot operate on its own or be fitted to an unrelated switch family. What Else Is Required?ExpandCollapse You need a compatible host and suitable twisted-pair copper Ethernet cabling and a compatible RJ45 Ethernet endpoint. The host switch and connection media are separate items. Can I Install It Without Interrupting the Network?ExpandCollapse Follow the installation instructions for the exact host and module. Plan the maintenance procedure with the person responsible for the network rather than assuming live installation is supported. Will Every Connected Device Run at the Maximum Port Speed?ExpandCollapse The module uses copper RJ45 ports. The negotiated speed depends on the connected device and compliant cable channel; a 10G-capable module does not increase the speed of a slower endpoint. What Warranty Is Included?ExpandCollapse The warranty is 1 year. Read more
