Connect Gates Recommendation:
• Connect Gates recommends the D-Link 8000-CM2 for DGS-8000 Series projects that require higher switching capacity and data center-grade modular performance.
• It is an ideal choice when using Data Center D-Series I/O modules for high-density 10G switching, data center aggregation, and enterprise backbone designs.
• The module is especially suitable for large factories, campuses, hotels, data centers, and enterprise buildings that require scalable centralized control with strong future expansion.
• For best performance, Connect Gates recommends using the 8000-CM2 as part of a complete DGS-8000 chassis design with suitable D-Series or compatible I/O modules, redundant power supplies, fan tray, and fiber transceivers according to the project topology.
