The MSW-4424C is positioned as a layer 2+ Gigabit access switch solution. It is equipped with 20 100Base-FX/1000Base-X dual speed SFP slots, 4 ports GbE combo (10/100/1000Base-T or 100/1000Base-X SFP) ports and 4 1000Base-X/10G Base-X dual speed SFP⁺ uplink slots. The MSW-4424C offers the best flexibility and scalability for operators or service providers to deploy their Metro Ethernet network. With the deployment of MSW-4424C, operators or service providers can flexibly provision the bandwidth for either 100Mbps or 1000Mbps as well as uplink connection of Gigabit or 10G speed in their service applications. The MSW-4424C has built-in dual power supplies to enable power redundancy and enhance the high network availability.

Aimed at Metro Ethernet applications, the specifications of MSW-4424C fully meet the attributes of Carrier Ethernet proposed by MEF (Metro Ethernet Forum). It complies with MEF 9 standard to support E-Line/E-Access service and MEF 14 standard to enable the bandwidth profile configuration delivering SLA (Service Level Agreement) for end-to-end performance characteristics as well as Ethernet OAM functionality to support carrier grade service OAM management rapidly detecting and recovering from the network incidents in real time.
