Overview
The Brocade BR-5100 is a high-performance networking switch designed to meet the demands of high-density, bandwidth-intensive environments. It features an advanced architecture that provides a maximum frame size of 2112-byte payload, ensuring efficient data handling for various applications. The switch is equipped with 2048 dynamically allocated frame buffers, with up to 1692 maximum per port, which facilitates smooth data transmission and reception across the network.
One of the key specifications of the BR-5100 is its aggregate bandwidth of 320 Gbps, achieved through 40 ports operating at 8 Gbps data rate. This capability ensures that the switch can handle large volumes of data, making it suitable for environments where data transfer speed is critical. The maximum fabric latency is impressively low, with locally switched ports experiencing just 700 ns of delay with no contention, thanks to its cut-through routing at 8 Gbit/sec.
The Fibre Channel ports on the BR-5100 support switch mode configurations of 24, 32, and 40 ports, providing flexibility in network design and scalability. Its physical dimensions are compact for its capabilities, with a width of 42.88 cm, height of 4.29 cm, and depth of 61.05 cm, and a system weight of 9.34 kg with dual power supplies, excluding SFP/SFP+ media.

- Aggregate bandwidth: 320 Gbps
- Maximum fabric latency: 700 ns with no contention
Operating conditions are designed for reliability in various environments, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C and non-operating temperatures from -25°C to 70°C. Humidity tolerance is also built for resilience, operating from 10% to 85% non-condensing and non-operating from 10% to 95% non-condensing. The BR-5100 can operate up to an altitude of 3000 meters, ensuring its functionality in elevated locations, with non-operating tolerance up to 12 kilometers.
Shock and vibration resistance are crucial for maintaining performance in physically demanding conditions. The operating shock tolerance is 20 g, 6 ms half-sine, with non-operating conditions able to withstand half sine, 33 g 11 ms, across 3/eg Axis. Vibration resistance is similarly robust, with operating conditions at 0.5 g sine, 0.4 grms random, 5 to 500 Hz, and non-operating conditions up to 2.0 g sine, 1.1 grms random, 5 to 500 Hz.
The BR-5100's heat dissipation is efficiently managed, with a maximum of 311 BTU/hr for 40 ports, supported by dual, hot-swappable redundant fans integrated into the power supply unit, maintaining airflow at a maximum of 29 CFM (cubic feet per minute) and nominal 22 CFM. Power supply resilience is ensured with dual, hot-swappable redundant power supplies that also incorporate system cooling fans, with a nominal power consumption of 84 watts and a maximum of 91 watts with all 40 ports operating at 8 Gbps.
In summary, the Brocade BR-5100 is engineered for high-density networking environments, offering advanced features and specifications that ensure high performance, reliability, and scalability. Its robust design accommodates demanding operational conditions, making it an ideal solution for organizations requiring efficient, high-speed data transfer capabilities.
