12-Port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel Switching Module

The 12-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module can be used in any of the Cisco MDS 9500 Series chassis and in the Cisco MDS 9216i and 9216A Switches. The 12-port 4-Gbps switching module is a full-rate mode module providing 12 SFP-based Fibre Channel interfaces. Each interface can support full- line rate operation at 4 Gbps interface speed. The module delivers a sustained data rate of up to 4-Gbps in each direction, on all ports simultaneously, and up to 96 Gbps of continuous, aggregate bandwidth when attached to high-performance servers and storage subsystems.

Figure 1-12shows a 12-port 4-Gbps Fibre Channel switching module. The front panel connectors are standard modular SFP and the speed detection is autosensing.
