Description of Hardware

The Brocade 6910 switches consist of two model types, one hardened for extended temperature range environments, the other non-hardened for standard temperature range environments:

•Standard temperature range switches for 0 to +50 °C:

•BR-6910-EA-AC

•BR-6910-EA-DC

•Extended temperature range switches for -40 to +65 °C:

•BR-6910-EA-H-AC

•BR-6910-EA-H-DC

SFP Slots

The 12 Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver slots are shared with 12 RJ-45 ports. In its default configuration, if an SFP transceiver (purchased separately) is installed in a slot and has a valid link on its port, the associated RJ-45 port is disabled and cannot be used. The switch can also be configured to force the use of an RJ-45 port or SFP slot, as required.

There are two types of SPF transceivers - one hardened that can operate at temperatures between -40 to +65 °C, and non-hardened that can operate at temperatures between 0 to +50 °C.

The SFP slots support the following SFP transceivers:

•Standard temperature range optics (0 to +50 °C)

•100Base-SX (OM) 33225-100

•100Base-LX (OM) 33226-100

•1000Base-SX (OM) 33210-100

•1000Base-LX (OM) 33211-100

•1000Base-LHA (OM) 33212-100

•1000Base-LHB 33004-000

•1000Base-BXU 33006-000

•1000Base-BXD 33005-000

•1000Base-CWDM

•Extended temperature range optics (-40 to +65 °C)

•100Base-FX (OM) 33224-100

•1000Base-SX (OM)

•1000Base-LX (OM)

•1000Base-LHA (OM)
