Why not standardize in IDC models... that way it can be used in + and - voltage situations? less SKUs

If you want dual power supplies just buy a DC model and then use external power supplies... but, realistically, more stuff = more stuff to break.

The Spirit of St. Louis only had one reliable engine for good reason. Don't forget that the multi-engine airplanes failed but it didn't!

I think it is interesting that sirhc stated that they were designed for convection cooling but have fans added which helps with MTBF. IIRC, there was another post mentioning that the 6 port mini has a lower MTBF because it isn't fan cooled. So, I'm not in panic mode if a fan goes out but I do get it replaced as soon as reasonable (and keep a few spares on hand).

This leads to a good question, do the non-smart DC models run cooler than their AC powered counterparts? I've been considering going to the non-smart DC model and using an external DIN-rail power supply at those locations for two reasons 1) get the heat out of the switch, and 2) the power supply can sometimes 'take one for the team' if there is a power issue i.e. it blows up saving the equipment it is powering... and decent quality external DIN-rail mountable power supplies aren't that expensive.

In any case (back to the topic), I'm kinda excited to see that new 'oil and gas' model as we have applications where its features look very useful for...

Well a DUMB DC like the WS-12-DC verses the WS-12-250-AC or the WS-12-250-DC all share the same switchboard so the switchboard runs the same temp regardless.

The AC power supply generates heat and the SMART DC power supply generates heat but the switch boards are all the same.

Any update on these?

We'd buy a WS2-28-600-AC almost immediately.

WS2-28-600-DC is a must. It's not so much for 10gig, but more to be able to push more than 1gig on a port.

With 90+% sites in Ireland not having fiber, we're combining multiple xpic licensed links to get the bandwidth on sites and it's not uncommon, that we haul more than 1 Gbit/s from one site to another.

Looking forward to that.

We also need this because we started using the Ubiquity Infinity with 10G ports and doing multiple 1Gb seems to not work as great.
Any news on when will see at least the fist WS2-26 available?

[jonwang]

Any movement on the WS2 line/10G ports? Never thought the day would come, but I'm in need of 10G ports more and more.

The 10G is WS3 line

First model is WS3-14-600-AC
Then WS3-14-600-DC

The WS2 line is a single small unit no 10G
WS2-4-50-DC

The 10G is WS3 line First model is WS3-14-600-AC Then WS3-14-600-DC The WS2 line is a single small unit no 10G WS2-4-50-DC

So any estimated delivery time on WS3 switches ?

[ftxsteve]

The original claim was Q1-2018

I'm guessing that the 10Gb line will be released when MT releases ROS v7.
