Brocade M6140 Director

The Brocade M6140 Director is a high-performing, flexible building block for today's very large, data-dependent enterprises. It is the only single-stage, 140-port director that will support transfer rates of 1 to up to 10 Gbit/sec, so it can meet a wide range of application performance needs. Its high port concentration translates into less complicated connectivity, management and deployment, and its carrier-class availability (99.999%) means you can depend on it to support your most critical business requirements. Adds capacity in 4-port increments (up to 140 ports/unit) for cost-effective scalability Supports FICON and Fibre Channel traffic simultaneously Simplifies management of heterogeneous environments with robust management software Enables non-disruptive code activation with exclusive HotCAT technology Improves application throughput with consistent latency and bandwidth Provides superior throughput and response times over distance Brocade directors are interoperable with all the leading manufacturers of Fibre Channel switches.   4 Gbit/sec Fibre Channel Director for Large-Scale Enterprise Ultra-High Availability Hot-plug, redundant power supplies, fans, processors Hot-plug optics, port modules On-line diagnostics HotCAT technology for on-line, non-disruptive firmware load and activation Performance Port Speed: 10 Gbit/sec, full duplex XPM; 4Gbit/sec, full duplex UPM Buffer Credits: 60 per port Switch Latency: Less than 2 microseconds average Scalability Ports per Chassis: 140 Media Type: Hot-plug, industry standard LC Small Form Factor Supported Optical Media Types/Distance: Shortwave: 300m (1,148 ft.) / 4 Gbit/sec Longwave: 4 km (2.5 mi.) / 4 Gbit/sec 10 km (6.4 mi.) / 4 Gbit/sec With Repeaters: 60 km (4 Gbit/sec) Cabling: 62.5/125 micron multimode, 300m (1,148 ft.) 50/125 micron multimode, 500m (1,640 ft.) 9/125 micron single mode, 10 km (6.2 mi.)
