12-slot 10GbE switch chassis

The Brocade FastIron SX800 is a rack-mountable Layer 3 switch chassis with twelve expansion slots. It provides four 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks through XFP interfaces. Redundant power supply support and PoE capability are built in. The platform is designed for wire-speed performance and ultra-low latency in converged networks.

Enterprise backbone and converged access

Organisations deploying VoIP, video conferencing, IP telephony, wireless LANs or real-time collaborative applications will benefit from the high-density 10GbE uplinks and resilient PoE design. Buyers who need a fixed-configuration switch without modular expansion should consider a different form factor. Environments that do not require Layer 3 routing or redundant power can also look at simpler alternatives.

Twelve expansion slots for modular growth

The chassis offers twelve total expansion slots, each accepting XFP modules for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This slot count determines how many line cards or uplink modules can be installed simultaneously. Match the slot budget to the planned port density before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Do I need to buy XFP transceivers to use the four 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots?

Yes, the four 10 Gigabit Ethernet expansion slots use XFP interfaces, so compatible XFP transceivers are required for each uplink connection.

How can I verify the chassis is operating correctly after installation?

The switch chassis is manageable and supports Layer 3 features; use the management interface to check port status, power supply redundancy, and system logs for normal operation.
