On the right side, we have a grounding point and a cable one can use to ground the switch. In a rack, perhaps it is a non-issue, but we know some of our readers will see the different color metal and faceplate and have reactions so we just wanted to point it out.

This is not uncommon in the industry, but it does not look pleasing in some areas. One small item is that this switch uses what appears to be an adhesive faceplate on the front panel for labels. On the right of the front panel, we have a large air vent and the model number. There are those who swear by Cisco modules, however, this is the trade-off that FS is leveraging with its switch line. This switch can use 26 pluggable devices which means that even saving $50-60 per module pays for the switch. When we discuss the switch price at $1399, that is only part of the cost. On the subject of pluggables, the cost for FS modules is significantly lower than from companies such as Cisco and Juniper. FS.com is known for selling lower-cost optics, and although we did not have them, the company has breakout DACs and optics to run these in 4x 10GbE mode. There are additionally two more QSFP+ 40GbE ports that can be broken into 4x 10GbE links each. To the right of those, there are four more SFP cages, but these are SFP28 25GbE ports. These are arranged in a block of 16 ports with another four to the right. There are a total of 20x 10GbE ports that are SFP+ ports. FS markets the switch as a 24-port switch, but that seems like it is more to hit marketing keywords than physical features. We are going to discuss management later in this review in its own segment. We also have a console and a management port.
WE. THE REVOLUTION SWITCH REVIEW MANUAL
On the left side, we have a USB port for manual configuration changes. To discuss the switch, we are going to start on the left side and move to the right. As a result, we get a very different looking front from what we normally see. This is interesting since the switch is not the highest port count switch so it almost feels like it could be a half-width switch except that it would be slightly too wide. You can see that video here:Īs always, we suggest watching that video in its own YouTube tab/ window. We also have an accompanying video where we could show more angles than we can in photos. Since this is a longer piece, we are going to have our normal hardware overview, except split generally into external and internal sections. We are also going to try getting into an appropriate level of detail for STH readers. In this review, we are going to show a bit about the switch. Generally, the S5860-20SQ offered more than we were expecting. To be frank, we have had quite a bit of feedback that we should review FS switches at STH over the years, but this is our first opportunity to do so. This is one of the more interesting switches we have seen with a unique combination of ports and capabilities. Many a time I made a last minute change which defied all odds, only to improve my position in France.Today we have a review of the FS S5860-20SQ. When making your decisions, there are meters on the left-hand side which show how each decision can impact your popularity with different key stakeholders. As you proceed through the game and new developments unfold, other options are added and some taken away. Initially, there is only jail time and acquittal available. This is done by asking the book on your desk, at which point you can select from the options available. Alongside the questions, you can also call upon witnesses to question them, before then giving your verdict. Or, to strengthen your political standing with those around you. Knowing that the game is about much more than individual cases, you can often find yourself asking the questions that will get the result you want, not for the victim and their families but you and yours. Indicated by icons next to the question itself, it may influence the jury to want the perpetrator acquitted or sentenced to death. Once you begin questioning, each question has an impact on the view of the jury.
