SFC7408‌ is a new-generation 1G/10G/25G/100G Ethernet aggregation and traffic distribution device. It is built with domestically developed switching chips and features high port density, diverse operating modes, flexible high-performance deployment, and convenient management and maintenance. It is capable of adapting to various application environments and providing real-time network communication data to devices such as network information monitoring systems, network traffic analyzers, and signaling analyzers as needed.

The SFC7408 aggregation and traffic distribution device provides 8 service card slots, allowing for flexible selection and configuration of service cards.

The ‌SFC7408‌ provides powerful intelligent flow selection and multi-path monitoring capabilities. It supports multi-port data tagging, aggregation, filtering, packet replication for multiple outputs, and load-balanced distribution. This makes it particularly well-suited for complex application environments with a high number of links, large network traffic volumes, and dense configurations. It offers a convenient and efficient data acquisition solution for network security, protocol analysis, and signaling detection systems.
