Optics is an essential part of the HPE FlexFabric 5700 Switch family, which plays an important role in fiber-optic cabling infrastructure. This article introduces third-party compatible optics solutions for HPE FlexFabric 5700 Series Switches.
HPE FlexFabric 5700 Switch Series Overview
The HPE FlexFabric 5700 Switch Series enables increased capacity through local switching and L2 / Light L3 support for the expansion of enterprise networks. Take full advantage of IRF enhancements in the spine/leaf configuration to simplify network management and extend server connectivity. Use FlexFabric 5700 to improve recovery and simplify management at any time. While IRFs can reduce management complexity by up to 88%, it also provides aggregation times of less than 50 milliseconds. You can use the FlexFabric 5700 to reduce your total cost of ownership, which can be 25% lower than your competitors’ equipment. The FlexFabric 5700 Series switches allow you to select options that meet your budget and environmental requirements by providing 1 / 10GbE ports and supporting SFP and BASE-T and 10 / 40GbE uplinks.
