Product Review

The Foundry RX-BI-16XG module adds significant value to the BigIron RX Series with its 16-port 10 GbE SFP+ capacity, enhancing the system's overall data throughput to 1.60 Tbps and offering a total switching capacity of 3.84 Tbps. However, its considerable size (44.32w × 62.15h × 64.77d cm) and weight (107 kg) demand substantial rack space and robust support, potentially limiting its deployment in smaller or densely packed data centers. Additionally, while the module boasts impressive power redundancy and operational efficiency within a 0°C to 40°C temperature range, its high power consumption (up to 4905 watts) and thermal output (16,741 BTU/hr) necessitate effective cooling solutions and power management strategies.

Overview

The Foundry RX-BI-16XG is a 16-port 10 GbE SFP+ module designed for use in the BigIron RX Series, catering to the demands of high-speed data centers and enterprise networks. This module significantly enhances the networking capabilities of the BigIron RX Series by providing high-density 10 GbE connectivity, essential for applications requiring fast data transfer rates, such as high-performance computing, storage networks, and server virtualizations. With dimensions of 17.45 inches in width, 24.47 inches in height, and 25.5 inches in depth (44.32 cm width × 62.15 cm height × 64.77 cm depth), and a weight of 236 lb (107 kg), this module is built to fit seamlessly into existing network infrastructures without occupying excessive space. Despite its considerable capabilities, the module maintains a compact form factor, allowing for efficient use of rack space, indicated by its height of 24.5 inches (14 rack units). Key hardware specifications include: - I/O Module Slots: 16 - Switching capacity per system: Available data capacity at 1.60 Tbps and a total switch capacity of 3.84 Tbps. - Packet forwarding capacity per system: 1,142 Mpps, enabling efficient handling of high-volume network traffic. - Maximum 10 GbE ports per system: 256, and maximum 1 GbE ports per system: 768, providing extensive connectivity options for various network configurations. The module also boasts impressive electrical and thermal specifications, ensuring reliable performance under various operational conditions:
  • Airflow: Front-to-Back, ensuring efficient cooling and stable operation even under heavy loads.
  • Power supply redundancy: M+N, offering enhanced reliability and continuous operation in the event of a power supply failure.
  • System Maximum Power Consumption: At 100 VAC, it consumes 4905 watts with a thermal output of 16,741 BTU/Hr, and at 200 VAC, it maintains the same power consumption and thermal output, ensuring consistent performance across different power supplies.
Operating environment tolerances include a temperature range of 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), relative humidity of 5 to 90% at 40°C (104°F), non-condensing, and an operating altitude of up to 10,000 ft (3000 m). For storage, it can withstand temperatures ranging from −25°C to 70°C (−13°F to 158°F), a maximum relative humidity of 95%, non-condensing, and a storage altitude of up to 15,000 ft (4500 m).
