NSComm E600 Series 10G/25G Data Center Switches
NSComm E600 Series 10G/25G Data Center Switches
NSComm E600 Series data center switches combine 10GE SFP+, 25GE SFP28, and 100GE QSFP28 interfaces across the E670 and E680 families. The six L2/L3 managed models support different server-access, leaf, and aggregation port mixes for buyers comparing 10G, 25G, and 100G connectivity.
10G and 25G Access Options
Choose 10GE SFP+ models for established 10G server and aggregation links, or select 25GE SFP28 models when the network requires higher per-port bandwidth and a more direct path to 100G uplinks.
100G QSFP28 Uplinks
E670 and E680 configurations pair access ports with 100GE QSFP28 interfaces. Compare uplink count, breakout plans, peer-device compatibility, and expected traffic before selecting a data center switch.
Match the Model to the Network Role
10G Server Access and Aggregation
The E670-24X6C, E670-48X6C, and E680-48X6Q serve designs centered on 10GE SFP+ connectivity. Review whether 24 or 48 access ports and the available high-speed uplinks match the rack or aggregation layer.
25G Server Access
The E670-48Y8C and E680-24Y4C provide 25GE SFP28 access with 100GE QSFP28 uplinks for high-speed server-to-switch connectivity and data center leaf deployments.
Mixed-Speed High-Density Connectivity
The E670-16XY16C combines 10GE, 25GE, and a dense set of 100GE ports for designs that must interconnect multiple speed tiers within one L2/L3 managed switch.
Plan the E600 Deployment
Map Port Counts Before Procurement
Document every 10G, 25G, and 100G connection, including redundant links and future growth. This prevents selecting a 10Gb network switch or 25G switch that lacks the required port mix.
Validate SFP+, SFP28, and QSFP28 Media
Check optical modules, DACs, AOCs, fiber type, distance, and peer compatibility for each interface. Breakout use should be confirmed against both switch ports and the planned cable assembly.
Confirm L2/L3 and Software Requirements
Define VLAN, routing, redundancy, management, and software requirements before ordering. Validate final feature support against the exact E670 or E680 model and software release.

E670 Series Options
Compare E670-24X6C, E670-48X6C, E670-48Y8C, and E670-16XY16C for 10G, 25G, mixed-speed, and varying 100G uplink requirements.
E680 Series Options
Compare E680-48X6Q for 48-port 10G access and E680-24Y4C for 24-port 25G access, then verify the required 100G QSFP28 uplink count.
