Overview
The MS355 is a multi-gigabit switch line designed to help prepare Organizations for the increased bandwidth requirements of the upcoming 802.11ax wireless standard with high-count mGig switch ports and increased switching capacity to meet the demands of next generation access points. Networks with sizeable wireless deployments such as universities, hospitals, and large public complexes like transportation centers can all benefit from the increased bandwidth capabilities of the MS355.
With 4 different models, each with multiple mGig RJ45 ports capable of negotiating up to 10Gbps, 40G QSFP+ ports, and dedicated 100G hardware stacking ports, the MS355 line is fully ready to support the future deployment of 802.11ax wireless infrastructure across a variety of different environments.

Network ports on the MS355 switches operate at full-duplex; half-duplex operation is not supported
Cabling Best Practices for Multi-Gigabit operations: While Category-5e cables can support multigigabit data rates upto 2.5/5 Gbps, external factors such as noise, alien crosstalk coupled with longer cable/cable bundle lengths can impede reliable link operation. Noise can originate from cable bundling, RFI, cable movement, lightning, power surges and other transient event. It is recommended to use Category-6a cabling for reliable multigigabit operations as it mitigates alien crosstalk by design.
