This capability is further enhanced with the potential to scale up to 64 Gbps per ISL trunk, ensuring high-speed data transmission across the network.
The Brocade BR-5300 excels in minimizing data transfer delays, boasting a fabric latency of just 700 nanoseconds. It supports a maximum frame size of 2112-byte payload, ensuring efficient data handling. Frame buffers are dynamically allocated, with up to 1460 available and a maximum of 268 per port, facilitating smooth data flow even under heavy load conditions.
Connectivity options are versatile, including a USB port and support for hot-pluggable SFP+ with LC connectors. Network management and configuration are facilitated through a 10/100 Ethernet port (RJ-45) and a serial port (RJ-45), enabling both in-band and out-of-band management. The device's design features non-port to port side airflow, ensuring adequate cooling for reliable operation.
Physical specifications indicate a 19-inch EIA-compliant form factor with dimensions of 42.88 cm in width, 8.60 cm in height, and 61.05 cm in depth. The system's weight is 15.6 kg with dual power supplies, indicating a solid build suitable for rack mounting in data centers. Operational temperature ranges from 0°C to 40°C, with non-operating and storage temperatures ranging from –25°C to 70°C, ensuring durability in various environmental conditions.
- Fibre Channel ports available in 48-, 64-, and 80-port configurations for scalable network design.
- Supports up to eight 8 Gbps ports per ISL trunk, with the capability of reaching up to 64 Gbps per ISL trunk for high-speed data transmission.
