RG-S6980-64QC Datasheet

Product Overview #

The RG-S6980-64QC switch is a state-of-the-art high-performance, high-density box switch developed by Ruijie Networks, specifically designed for high-end data centers and AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) intelligent computing scenarios. This switch is engineered to meet the increasing demands for bandwidth and performance driven by the rapid growth of applications such as AI machine learning, big data, high-performance computing, and distributed storage.

The RG-S6980-64QC features an advanced hardware architecture that provides 64 ports of 400GE, ensuring that all ports support line-speed forwarding. This capability is crucial for maintaining high throughput and low latency in data-intensive environments. Additionally, the switch supports redundant, hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules, enhancing its reliability and uptime. The integration of Ruijie’s AI-Fabric solutions, including RALB (Ruijie Adaptive Load Balancing) and AILB (AI Load Balancing), significantly improves traffic bandwidth and reduces the time required for AI training processes, making it an ideal choice for modern data center applications.

Product Features #

  • High Port Density: The RG-S6980-64QC can accommodate up to 64 ports of 400G within a compact 4U form factor, allowing for efficient use of space in data center environments.
  • Advanced Load Balancing: The switch supports Ruijie’s AI-Fabric solutions, which utilize RALB and AILB technologies to optimize traffic distribution and enhance overall network performance, particularly in AI workloads.
  • Redundant Power and Cooling: Designed for high availability, the switch includes 2+2 power redundancy and 7+1 fan redundancy, both of which are hot-swappable, ensuring continuous operation even during maintenance.
  • Comprehensive Data Center Features: The RG-S6980-64QC supports essential data center functionalities such as PFC (Priority Flow Control), ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification), and RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), which are critical for lossless data transmission and efficient resource utilization.
  • Scalability: In typical two-tier and three-tier network architectures, the switch can support up to 2,000 and 8,000 400G ports, respectively, allowing for significant scalability as network demands grow.
  • Enhanced Security and Management: The switch includes robust security features such as RADIUS/TACACS authentication, IPv4/v6 ACL filtering, and various management protocols (SNMP, Telnet, SSH), ensuring secure and efficient network management.
