Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Superior Scalability: Up to 76.8 Tbps of combined switching capacity and 384x 100 GbE or 576x 1025 GbE ports per 12 units' stack supports the most demanding enterprise environments. Maximum Flexibility: Network Core connectivity and switching capacity can be distributed wherever it is needed. Does not need to be co-located in a single wiring closet like a traditional chassis.
