Specifications

       Description
  • The Extreme Brocade BR-VDX6740T-56-1G-F switch is engineered for data centers and enterprise networks demanding efficient, scalable connectivity with high throughput. Featuring 48x 1 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports, upgradeable to 48x 10 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports via Capacity on Demand (CoD) licensing, this switch offers flexible performance to grow with your network needs.
  • With 2 active 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ uplink ports (expandable to 4 ports via Ports on Demand licensing), it supports high-speed backbone aggregation and scalable network expansion. The switch delivers a switching capacity of 1.28 Tbps and a forwarding rate of 960 million packets per second (Mpps), enabling rapid and reliable data processing.
  • Designed for efficient cooling, the BR-VDX6740T-56-1G-F uses front-to-back airflow (non-port-side exhaust), suitable for modern data center environments that prioritize hot aisle/cold aisle containment. Redundant, hot-swappable power supplies ensure continuous uptime and operational reliability.
