Product overview

The Dell EMC Connectrix MP-7800B is a 1U rack-mountable multi-protocol SAN extension switch designed for enterprise Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) deployments. It features 16 universal Fibre Channel ports at up to 8 Gb/s auto-sensing speeds (2/4/8/16 Gbps capable) and 6x 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports including hot-pluggable SFPs and built-in RJ-45 copper. Delivering 40 Gb/s aggregate FCIP bandwidth, it supports up to 12 km storage distance extension with low 700 ns fabric latency and ISL trunking up to 128 Gbps per trunk. Dual hot-swappable power supplies ensure redundancy, with 85-264 VAC input and back-to-front airflow. Management via Connectrix Manager Converged Network Edition uses SSH v2, SNMP v3, and serial interfaces. Compatible with FCP, FCIP, and FICON protocols, it suits WAN SAN extension, disaster recovery, and multi-site storage replication, providing scalable fabric architecture for up to 239 switches.
