Product Description
The Dell MX7116N is a high-performance Fabric Expander Module specifically designed to enhance the capabilities of Dell's MXL series modular switches. Its primary function is to expand the network fabric's capacity and connectivity, allowing for greater scalability and higher bandwidth within the data center environment. This module is equipped with two QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable 28) ports. Each QSFP28 port is capable of supporting data rates of up to 100 Gigabits per second (100Gbps), providing substantial bandwidth for demanding applications, high-performance computing clusters, and large-scale virtualization environments. These ports are typically used for connecting to other switches, routers, or high-speed servers. The MX7116N integrates seamlessly into the Dell MXL chassis, acting as an extension of the switch fabric. By offloading certain fabric functions or providing additional high-speed interconnects, it helps to reduce latency and improve overall network performance. This module is crucial for building modern, scalable, and high-performance data center networks that require significant bandwidth and low-latency communication.
