Product Description
The Brocade BR-2402-0000 is an 8-port, 1 Gigabit Fiber Channel switch belonging to the Silkworm 2402 family. This switch is engineered to provide reliable and efficient connectivity for storage area networks (SANs), particularly in environments where high-speed access to storage resources is critical. With its 1Gbps Fiber Channel ports, it enables servers and storage arrays to communicate effectively, facilitating data transfer and management within the SAN infrastructure. This model features 8 standard 1Gb Fiber Channel ports, along with 2 additional expansion ports, offering flexibility for network growth and configuration. The Silkworm series is known for its robust performance and ease of management, making it a popular choice for small to medium-sized businesses or departmental SAN deployments. The switch's design prioritizes stability and throughput, ensuring that data can be moved quickly and reliably between connected devices. The Brocade BR-2402-0000 is supplied without GBICs (Gigabit Interface Converters), meaning that the optical transceivers for the Fiber Channel ports need to be purchased separately. This allows users to select the appropriate GBIC type (e.g., short-wave, long-wave) based on their specific cabling and distance requirements. The black chassis indicates a standard deployment form factor, suitable for rack mounting or standalone placement within a data center or server room.
