H3C fiber optic switches provide high-performance, scalable, and flexible solutions for SAN and enterprise fiber networks, supporting speeds up to 64Gb/s and advanced management features.

Key Models and Features

H3C CN Series (CN3360B, CN6660B, CN6675B, CN3370B)

• CN3360B: Compact 1U form factor, 8–24 ports, supporting 4, 8, 16, or 32Gbps speeds. Offers simplified deployment and a user-friendly click-based interface, with "pay-as-you-grow" scalability for evolving storage environments .
• CN6660B: 32Gb 48-port switch with high I/O performance, low latency, and support for highly virtualized environments. Scalable from 48 to 64 ports, it provides ISL compression and granular visibility into NVMe storage fabrics .
• CN6675B: Gen 7 Fibre Channel switch with autonomous SAN capabilities, integrated security, and advanced automation. Supports 48–128 ports in a 2U form factor, configurable port speeds (8G–64G), and flexible SFP-DD or SFP+ transceivers for dense, high-performance connectivity .
• CN3370B: Designed for small and medium-sized enterprises, offering up to 64Gb/s bandwidth, low latency, automated configuration, and scalable port expansion. Optimized for cost-effective and efficient SAN deployment . H3C S5170 Series
• Enterprise Intelligent (EI) access switches focused on fiber connectivity, with optional PoE. Available in 28-port and 54-port fiber models, these switches provide reliable, manageable access-layer networking for campuses, enterprises, and branch offices. They emphasize stability, predictability, and ease of operation while supporting long-term deployment .

Performance and Scalability

H3C fiber optic switches are designed to handle high-density, high-bandwidth environments. They support:

• High port density: Up to 128 ports in a single switch (CN6675B)
• Flexible speeds: 8G, 16G, 32G, and 64G depending on model and transceiver type
• Scalable architecture: "Pay-as-you-grow" and Ports on Demand (PoD) allow incremental expansion without replacing hardware
• Low latency and high throughput: Optimized for SAN and virtualized storage environments

Management and Security

• User-friendly interfaces: Click-based or automated configuration tools simplify deployment and monitoring
• Integrated security: Gen 7 switches validate hardware/software integrity, harden Fabric OS, and protect against malware and hijacking attacks
• Autonomous SAN capabilities: Self-learning, self-optimizing, and self-healing features reduce manual management and improve uptime

Applications

H3C fiber optic switches are suitable for:

• Data centers: High-performance SANs, NVMe storage fabrics, and virtualized environments
• Small and medium-sized enterprises: Cost-effective, scalable SAN solutions with simplified management
• Campus and enterprise networks: Fiber-first access-layer deployment with optional PoE for downstream devices H3C fiber optic switches combine high performance, flexible scalability, and advanced management to meet the needs of modern storage and enterprise networks, ensuring reliable, secure, and efficient data connectivity across diverse deployment scenarios .
