It is capable of doing either 1 or 10GB, transmitting at line rates. These switches are very easy to expand should the need arise. <br><br>While they may not "stack" like the FCX, as for sheer port count and scalability (up to 600 1 or 10GB ports), it can not be beat. <br><br>Terry<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><font face="Tahoma" size="2"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Robert Hass <robhass@gmail.com><br><b><span style="font-weight:
