Dell EMC MXG610S Fibre Channel Switching Module

Specifications

Total Fibre Channel Ports:

Up to 16 internal server facing and up to 16 external fabric facing ports (8-port increments through dynamic Ports on Demand (POD) license.

The 16 internal server facing ports operate at either 16 Gbps or 32 Gbps speed depending on the minimezzanine adapter, and do not require any optical transceivers.

The 16 external fabric facing ports are available in two different port types:

8 external SFP ports operate at 8Gbps, 16Gbps, or 32Gbps speed

2 external QSFP ports offer 4 ports each operate at 16Gbps or 32Gbps speed

Supported Optics:

Transceiver, 16Gbps FC, SWL SFP

Transceiver, 16Gbps FC, LWL SFP

Transceiver, 32Gbps FC, SWL SFP

Transceiver, 32Gbps FC, LWL SFP

Transceiver, 16Gbps FC, SW4 QSFP (supports 1×4 Breakout)

Transceiver, 32Gbps FC, SW4 QSFP (supports 1×4 Breakout)
