Brocade VDX 6740T 48-port managed switch

The Brocade VDX 6740T is a rack-mountable managed switch with forty-eight ports. It operates at 10GBase-T and 40GBase-X primary speeds. The unit weighs 23.85 lb and is listed as new condition. It suits data-centre and enterprise networks that need high-density 10 Gigabit copper connectivity with 40 Gigabit uplinks.

Suits teams needing dense 10G copper.

This switch fits teams that want managed Layer 3 features over existing copper cabling. It is not for buyers who require fibre-to-the-desktop ports or a higher port count than forty-eight. Sites needing only unmanaged switching or PoE support should evaluate other options.

Forty-eight 10GBase-T ports decide fit

The forty-eight 10GBase-T ports define whether this switch matches the cabling plant. Copper links keep installation costs lower than fibre but restrict link distance to the standard reach. Buyers must confirm that 10GBase-T meets their run-length requirements before purchasing.
