Product Description

The NI-CER-2024C-RT-AC offers a port configuration of 24×1 GbE copper (RJ45) with four combination 100/1000 SFP ports, and an optional 2×10 GbE slot for uplinks, ensuring versatile connectivity options. It features a forwarding performance of 48 Gbps, which can increase to 88 Gbps with the 2×10 GbE module installed, alongside a packet forwarding performance of 36 Mpps that goes up to 65 Mpps with the 2×10 GbE module, supported by 64 MB of buffering, expandable to 128 MB with 2×10 GbE uplinks. The device is powered by a single 500 W AC power supply, with options for AC or DC power supply redundancy (1+1) and M+N fan redundancy, ensuring reliable operation in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 40°C and at altitudes up to 10,000 ft operating.

Key Feature for the NI-CER-2024C-RT-AC

  • What port density does the switch offer?
    The switch provides a port density of 24 10/100/1000 RJ45 ports with an optional slot for 2×10 GbE XFP uplinks.
  • How can the forwarding performance be enhanced?
    Forwarding performance can be enhanced to 88 Gbps with the installation of a 2×10 GbE module.
  • Is there an option for power supply redundancy?
    Yes, the switch supports 1+1 power supply redundancy, allowing for increased reliability.
  • What are the available power supply options?
    The switch offers internal AC or DC power supply options.
  • What is the maximum AC and DC power consumption?
    Both maximum AC and DC power consumption are rated at 135 Watts.
  • Can you detail the switch's airflow design?
    The switch is designed with a front to back airflow to ensure efficient cooling.
  • What are the buffering capabilities of the switch?
    The switch has a buffering capacity of 64 MB, which can be expanded to 128 MB with the addition of 2×10 GbE uplinks.
  • What type of ports does the switch support?
    The switch supports 24×1 GbE copper (RJ45) ports with four combination 100/1000 SFP ports and an optional 2×10 GbE slot.
  • What are the environmental operating conditions for the switch?
    The switch operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), with relative humidity from 5% to 90% at 40°C (104°F), non-condensing. It can operate up to an altitude of 10,000 ft (3048 m).
  • How does fan redundancy contribute to the switch's reliability?
    Fan redundancy, specified as M+N, ensures that the switch remains operational even if one fan fails, thus enhancing overall reliability.

Product Review

The Brocade NI-CER-2024C-RT-AC offers a solid base of 24×1 GbE RJ45 ports along with the flexibility of four combination 100/1000 SFP ports and an optional 2×10 GbE slot, catering well to environments requiring a mix of high-density legacy and uplink connectivity. However, its single 500 W AC power supply, without an out-of-the-box redundancy option, could be a limitation for scenarios demanding higher availability and power resilience. Performance-wise, it supports up to 88 Gbps and 65 Mpps with the 2×10 GbE module, suitable for mid-sized network backbones, though the lack of built-in 10 GbE ports and the dependency on an optional module for such uplinks might not meet the needs of rapidly growing or high-throughput networks.

Overview

The Brocade NI-CER-2024C-RT-AC is a networking device designed to meet the needs of modern data centers and enterprise networks. It offers a combination of 24×1 GbE copper ports and four combination 100/1000 SFP ports for flexible connectivity options. For networks requiring higher bandwidth, there is an optional module slot that supports 2×10 GbE uplinks, enhancing the device's scalability and performance capabilities. This device is built to handle significant data throughput with a forwarding performance of 48 Gbps, which can be expanded to 88 Gbps with the addition of the 2×10 GbE module. In terms of packet forwarding performance, it operates at 36 Mpps and can reach up to 65 Mpps with the 2×10 GbE module installed. This high level of performance is supported by a buffering capacity of 64 MB, which doubles to 128 MB with the 2×10 GbE uplinks, ensuring efficient data processing and minimizing packet loss. The Brocade NI-CER-2024C-RT-AC is equipped with a 500 W AC power supply, with the option for internal AC or DC power supply configurations. It also features a 1+1 power supply redundancy and M+N fan redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted operation and reliability. The device supports front-to-back airflow, optimizing cooling and energy efficiency.
  • Maximum AC and DC power consumption is rated at 135 Watts, with a maximum thermal output of 461 BTU/hour, ensuring efficient operation.
  • The device's dimensions are 17.4 inches in width, 1.7 inches in height, and 17.6 inches in depth, making it a compact solution for any rack or data center environment.
  • Operating conditions range from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), with a non-operating temperature range of –25°C to 70°C (–13°F to 158°F). Humidity tolerance is 5% to 90% at 40°C (104°F), non-condensing, with a non-operating maximum relative humidity of 95%, non-condensing. The device can operate at altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3048 m) and withstand non-operating altitudes up to 15,000 ft (4500 m).
The Brocade NI-CER-2024C-RT-AC's design addresses the needs of demanding network environments requiring high throughput, low latency, and flexibility. Its combination of gigabit Ethernet and 10 GbE capabilities, along with its high forwarding and packet performance, make it a suitable choice for organizations looking to upgrade or expand their network infrastructure.
