Ciena’s 3924 Platform is purpose - built for 10 Gb/s service delivery in a variety of business or mobile backhaul environments. The 3924 features a high - capacity 44 Gb/s switching fabric supporting four 10GbE/1GbE ports and four 1GbE ports in a compact 1RU chassis. The compact, cost - effective open network edge platform is powered by a built - in simplex AC power supply and designed to fit two 3924s in a single rack, to support a variety of deployments.

Features

44 Gb/s of non - blocking switching capacity in a compact service demarcation device, running Ciena’s SAOS for advanced OAM and QoS functions

Low footprint 1RU half nineteen packaging with 9.86”/251mm depth and 8.5”/216mm space - constrained locations

4 x 1GbE/10GbE, 4 x 100M/1GbE fixed ports

Ciena’s MCP multi - layer support for end - to - end network management control and planning
