A protective mechanism 2 is provided on the outside of the slot 101 to seal the slot 101 when not in use, preventing dust from entering. A heat dissipation frame 3 is provided on the outside of the heat dissipation grooves 102.

The exhaust direction of the exhaust fans 4 is the same, and every two exhaust fans 4 located in the same X-axis direction form a group. One fan is used to introduce cold air into the interior of the switch body 1, and the other fan is used to exhaust the hot air generated inside the switch body 1 to the outside. A dustproof plate 5 is provided on the outside of the heat dissipation frame 3 to prevent dust from entering the interior of the switch body 1 through the heat dissipation grooves 102, thus protecting the internal circuit board and preventing it from accumulating dust and causing a short circuit.

[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, the protective mechanism 2 includes a protective frame 201, which is disposed on the outside of the slot 101. A cover plate 205 is provided on the outside of the protective frame 201. The cover plate 205 can seal the inside of the protective frame 201 so that dust will not enter the slot 101 when it is not in use.

[0023] In this embodiment, preferably, the end of the protective frame 201 is provided with a mounting base 202, and the mounting base 202 is connected to the outside of the switch body 1 by mounting screws 203, which facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the protective frame 201.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, the cover plate 205 is connected to the protective frame 201 by a connecting rope 204. The connecting rope 204 makes it less likely for the cover plate 205 to be lost when not in use. Furthermore, a sealing plate 206 is provided on the inner side of the cover plate 205. The sealing plate 206 is engaged with the protective frame 201. The engagement between the sealing plate 206 and the protective frame 201 limits the position of the cover plate 205.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the protective frame 201 is provided with a connecting seat 207 inside, and the top of the connecting seat 207 is provided with an arc-shaped support seat 208. The arc-shaped support seat 208 can support the part of the optical cable near the optical cable connector to prevent it from bending and breaking.

The exhaust fan 4 on the left side draws cold air from outside into the switch body 1 through the heat sink 102 on one side. After the cold air enters the switch body 1, the heat generated by the internal circuit board during operation is conducted into the air. Then the hot air is discharged by the exhaust fan 4 on the other side through the heat sink 102 on the other side. The temperature controller 6 detects the temperature inside the switch body 1. When the internal heat accumulates too quickly and the temperature rises sharply, the temperature controller 6 automatically controls the other set of exhaust fans 4 to work to speed up the heat dissipation efficiency.
