12300-BS01 - Intel 12300-BS01 36-Port 40Gbps QDR Managed InfiniBand Switch | US IT Hardware

Product overview

The Intel 12300-BS01 is a 36-port Quad Data Rate (QDR) InfiniBand managed edge switch from the TrueScale Fabric 12000 Series, designed for high-performance computing and enterprise clustering. It delivers 40Gbps per QSFP port with auto-negotiation to 20/10Gbps, providing 2.88 Tbps aggregate switching capacity and latency under 140 nanoseconds. TrueScale architecture ensures scalable, predictable performance even at 90% utilization, supporting 8 virtual lanes plus 1 management lane, 4,096-byte MTU, and 1,024 multicast entries. Management options include CLI, chassis UI, optional embedded subnet manager, or external server, with IBTA-compliant protocols and SNMP. Hot-swappable redundant power supplies consume 85-226W, in a 1U 26-inch deep rack-mount form factor with front-to-back airflow. Compliance includes UL/CSA safety and FCC Class A EMI. Ideal for linking workgroup resources or edge switching in larger fabrics, offering fault detection, recovery, and IBTA 1.2 interoperability.
