What is the switching capacity and latency?

It provides a 4Tb/s non-blocking switching capacity with 200ns port-to-port latency. This ensures full line-rate performance across all 36 ports without bottlenecks, ideal for HPC clusters and enterprise data centers handling large data volumes.

Is this switch managed or unmanaged?

The MSX6025F-1SFS is an unmanaged InfiniBand switch, relying on external management via the RJ45 serial console. It uses firmware tools for configuration, simplifying deployment in standalone top-of-rack or leaf roles without onboard CPU management.

What form factor and airflow does it support?

It is a 1U rack-mountable switch with standard depth and P2C (back-to-front) airflow, including rail kit. RoHS-6 compliant design optimizes cooling in dense rack environments for sustained high-performance operation.

What speed does FDR InfiniBand provide?

FDR InfiniBand uses 64/66 encoding and 14Gb/s per lane signaling, delivering 56Gb/s per QSFP port—20% more efficient than QDR. Compatible with existing cables, it supports scaling for PCIe 3.0 servers in demanding applications.

What are typical use cases for this switch?

Suited for HPC clusters, enterprise data centers, top-of-rack connectivity, and storage fabrics. Its 4Tb/s capacity and low latency enable high-speed interconnects for compute, storage, and unified networking at 56Gb/s speeds.
