- What is the maximum data rate supported by the 96-Port Fibre Channel SFP+ Switch?
The switch supports a data rate of 16 Gbps per port. - How many fibre channel ports are available in the switch’s default mode?
In default switch mode, configurations of 48, 72, and 96 ports are supported. - What is the aggregate bandwidth of the 96-Port Fibre Channel SFP+ Switch?
The aggregate bandwidth is 1,536 Gbps, calculated as 96 ports multiplied by the 16 Gbps data rate. - Can you specify the latency and maximum frame size for the switch?
The latency is 700 ns, and the maximum frame size is 2112 byte payload. - How many frame buffers does the switch have?
It has 8,192 dynamically allocated frame buffers. - What are the physical dimensions and weight of the switch?
The switch measures 429.25 mm in width, 86.74 mm in height, and 609.75 mm in depth. It weighs 16.92 kg with two power supply units and without transceivers. - What operating and non-operating environmental conditions are supported by the switch?
Operating conditions are 0° to 40°C temperature and 10% to 85% humidity. Non-operating conditions are −25° to 70°C temperature and 10% to 90% humidity. - What is the operating altitude range for the switch?
The switch can operate up to 3000 m above sea level. - How much heat does the switch dissipate when all 96 ports are populated?
When fully populated, the switch dissipates 1,582 BTU/hr. - Describe the power supply features of the switch.
It includes dual, hot-swappable redundant power supplies with integrated cooling fans. The AC power consumption is 464 W with all 96 ports populated and 183 W for an empty chassis.
Product Review
The Brocade BR-6520-96-16G switch offers high-density Fibre Channel connectivity with 96 ports capable of 16 Gbps, supporting efficient storage networking with an aggregate bandwidth of 1,536 Gbps, which benefits high-performance computing environments. However, its notable latency of 700 ns might not meet the requirements of applications demanding ultra-low latency. Additionally, the dual, hot-swappable power supplies enhance the system's reliability and uptime, but the power consumption of up to 464 W with all ports active could be a concern for energy-conscious deployments.
