Switch purpose and target user

The NVIDIA Quantum-2 switch delivers 32 OSFP ports operating at up to 400 Gb/s each. It is built for high-performance computing clusters and large-scale AI fabrics that need aggregated bidirectional throughput of 51.2 Tb/s and packet rates exceeding 66.5 BPPS.

Who should consider alternatives

Teams that require managed switching features, in-band management tools, or port counts beyond 32 OSFP interfaces should evaluate other platforms. Buyers needing front-to-rear airflow instead of the factory power-to-connector direction must select a different SKU.

Sustained-load behaviour

Typical power draw with passive cables is 640 W, while active-cable configurations can reach 1,610 W under continuous load. The unit operates reliably from 0 °C to 35 °C with forward airflow and supports redundant 200-240 Vac power inputs for uninterrupted operation.

Questions about this item

What OSFP transceivers or cables do I need for the 32 ports?

Each of the 32 OSFP ports accepts 40, 56, 100, 200 or 400 Gb/s transceivers or direct-attach cables; match the link speed you require.

Will the switch fit in my existing 17.2-inch rack space with front-to-rear airflow?

The unit is 1.7 in tall, 17.2 in deep and uses power-to-connector airflow, so it occupies 1 U and matches standard front-to-rear cooling.

How can I confirm the 25.6 Tbps switching throughput is active after installation?

Check the management interface for port link speeds totalling 25.6 Tbps and verify the CPU reports the Quantum-2 ASIC operating at line rate.
