All productsS7700 can function as a high-density modular access switch, or can work as a core or aggregation switch in a medium-or large-sized campus network.
•In high-density access scenarios that do not have high requirements on the number of ports, S7703 can be chosen.
•In aggregation and core scenarios that require high port density, S7706/7712 can be selected.
•If PoEis required, S7703/S7706 PoEmodels are recommended. They support 60 W onall ports.
