About the EX4400-24X-DC
For a DC-powered fiber access deployment, the EX4400-24X-DC offers 24 10GbE SFP+ ports and two 100GbE uplinks. It uses front-to-back airflow, making power input the distinction from the standard EX4400-24X.
The QSFP28 ports support Virtual Chassis connections for up to 10 members. A separately ordered 4x10GbE or 4x25GbE extension module can add uplink interfaces.

Common questions
Does the DC version reverse airflow?
No. This configuration uses front-to-back airflow. The EX4400-24X-DC-AFI provides back-to-front airflow.
Can the uplink configuration be expanded?
Yes. An optional module adds either four 10GbE interfaces or four 25GbE interfaces.
Does DC power affect the Virtual Chassis limit?
This model supports up to 10 Virtual Chassis members through its QSFP28 connections.
