USE CASES

  • AI and GPU data-center fabrics — 64 high-speed 400GbE ports provide dense Ethernet connectivity for large-scale compute clusters and high-bandwidth east-west traffic.
  • 400GbE spine networking — The SN5400 is positioned as a 400GbE spine/super-spine Ethernet switch, making it suitable for high-capacity aggregation architectures. 
  • Cloud data-center networks — High port density and 25.6Tb/s throughput provide substantial switching capacity for cloud infrastructure where east-west traffic can dominate network utilization.
  • Leaf-to-spine connectivity — 400GbE interfaces provide high-capacity uplinks between network tiers, reducing the number of physical links needed to achieve high aggregate bandwidth.
  • 400G server and accelerator connectivity — Compatible 400GbE optical modules, DACs and AOCs can connect supported endpoints to the QSFP-DD interfaces. NVIDIA lists SN5400 among switches compatible with its 400GbE QSFP-DD ecosystem. 
  • Flexible Ethernet breakout — QSFP-DD ports can be configured for lower Ethernet rates using supported breakout cables and adapters, allowing the same switch platform to serve multiple network generations. 
  • Data-center network modernization — Provides a migration path toward 400GbE networking while retaining support for lower Ethernet speeds where required.
  • High-density rack deployments — A 2U chassis combines 64 × 400GbE data interfaces with two additional SFP28 ports, maximizing high-speed connectivity within a compact rack footprint. 
  • AI cloud and accelerated-computing infrastructure — High throughput and dense 400GbE connectivity make the platform suitable for Ethernet-based AI infrastructure requiring scalable network fabrics.

KEY FEATURES

  • 64 × 400GbE QSFP-DD ports — Provides 64 native 400GbE interfaces, giving data-center architects high port density for spine and high-capacity Ethernet designs. 
  • 25.6Tb/s maximum throughput — Provides substantial switching capacity for high-volume east-west traffic and large-scale data-center fabrics. 
  • 2 × SFP28 ports — Adds two 25GbE-capable SFP28 interfaces for lower-speed connectivity and management-related deployment requirements specified by the platform. 
  • 10/25/50/100/200/400GbE support — The main QSFP-DD interfaces support multiple Ethernet speeds, allowing buyers to deploy the switch across mixed-speed environments rather than restricting every port to 400GbE. 
  • QSFP-DD architecture — Uses QSFP-DD cages for 400GbE Ethernet, providing compatibility with NVIDIA-supported QSFP-DD cables and optical modules. 
  • 50Gbps-per-lane architecture — The SN5400's 400GbE interfaces operate using 50Gbps-per-lane signaling, supporting the 8-lane implementation behind 400GbE connectivity. 
  • Flexible breakout capability — Supported QSFP-DD breakout configurations can provide 200GbE, 100GbE, 50GbE, 25GbE and 10GbE connectivity, increasing deployment flexibility. 
  • 2U rack-mount design — Provides dense 400GbE connectivity within a standard 2U rack footprint, helping optimize high-capacity rack deployments. 
  • Dual AC power supplies — The platform supports two AC PSUs, giving enterprise buyers a redundant power configuration for improved infrastructure availability. 
  • High-power transceiver support — NVIDIA specifies up to 12W support across all 64 QSFP-DD ports, accommodating supported high-power optical transceivers.
