One of my favourite naming schemes is MikroTik's. CRS312-4C+8XG-RM looks like a mess initially, but it's very logical. The features of the product are literally in its name:

  • CRS Cloud Router Switch (product name)
  • 3rd generation
  • 12 ports total
  • 4C+ = 4x combo (RJ45 and SFP+) 10Gbps ports
  • 8XG = 8x 10Gbps RJ45 ports (XG = multi gigabit)
  • RM = rack mountable

This is how many companies generate a p/n, unless marketing gets involved.

Yep, I've even personally witnessed the arguments in business to business sales. When the marketing gets invited, sanity is no longer a welcome.
