Product Review

The Brocade NI-CER-2048C-AC offers a solid port density with 48×1 GbE copper ports and four 100/1000 SFP combination ports, suitable for environments requiring a high number of wired connections. However, the lack of 10 GbE uplink options limits its scalability for future network expansions that demand higher throughput. Additionally, while the device includes a single 500 W AC power supply with options for AC or DC power, the lack of standard power supply redundancy could pose a risk for critical network operations requiring uninterrupted power.

Overview

The Brocade NI-CER-2048C-AC is a comprehensive networking solution designed to cater to the demanding needs of modern data centers and enterprise networks. This device offers a high level of port density and performance capabilities in a compact form factor, making it an ideal choice for environments where space and efficiency are critical. At the core of its design, the NI-CER-2048C-AC features 48×1 GbE copper ports using the RJ45 interface, complemented by four combination ports that support both 100 and 1000 SFP modules. This array of ports ensures flexible connectivity options for a wide range of network devices and configurations. The inclusion of one 500 W AC power supply highlights the device's focus on providing reliable power under various operational conditions. The hardware is engineered to deliver forwarding performance up to 96 Gbps and a packet forwarding rate of 71 Mpps, backed by a 128 MB buffer. These specs ensure that the NI-CER-2048C-AC can handle high volumes of network traffic efficiently, maintaining optimal performance and minimizing latency across the network.
  • Power supply options are versatile, offering both internal AC and DC configurations, with a 1+1 redundancy to ensure continuous operation in case of a power supply failure.
  • Fan redundancy is implemented with an M+N scheme, ensuring cooling systems remain operational even if one unit fails, maintaining the hardware's integrity under various conditions.
  • Airflow is designed from front to back, optimizing cooling efficiency and supporting the device's deployment in a range of rack setups.
The maximum power consumption for both AC and DC inputs is rated at 240 Watts, with a thermal output of 819 BTU/hour. These figures are critical for planning the power and cooling requirements in the infrastructure where the NI-CER-2048C-AC will be deployed. Dimensionally, the unit measures 17.4 inches in width, 1.7 inches in height, and 17.6 inches in depth, making it a suitable fit for standard 19-inch racks. Its operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C, with a non-operating range from –25°C to 70°C. Humidity tolerance is set at 5% to 90% at 40°C for operating conditions, ensuring reliability in various environmental conditions. The device can also operate up to an altitude of 10,000 ft, with non-operating tolerance reaching 15,000 ft. Despite its compact size and power efficiency, the NI-CER-2048C-AC does not support 10 G uplinks, focusing instead on offering robust Layer 2 capabilities. This focus makes the device particularly suited for environments where high-speed, gigabit connectivity is essential, but where the ultra-high-speed uplinks of 10 Gbps are not a requirement. Overall, the Brocade NI-CER-2048C-AC emerges as a powerful and flexible networking solution, designed to meet the needs of modern businesses requiring high port density, performance, and reliability in a space-efficient form factor.
