The SX6005 switch system provides the highest performing fabric solution in a 1U half-width form factor by delivering up to 1.3Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth with 200ns port-to-port latency.

Built with Mellanoxs 6th generation SwitchX-2 InfiniBand switch device, the SX6005 provides up to twelve 56Gb/s full bi-directional bandwidth per port. The SX6005 is an ideal choice for smaller departmental or back-end clustering uses with high-performance needs, such as storage, data base and GPGPU clusters.

The SX6005 has no Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) which simplifies the usage and maintenance of the switch. All connectors and cables including the power connector are on the same side of the switch making it unnecessary to require access to the non-connector side of the switch. A unique rail mounting kit allows two SX6005 switches to be mounted side-by-side in the same 1U space while allowing the switches to be serviced independently using less rack space for redundant switch configurations. The SX6005 supports reversible airflow allowing it to fit into data centers with different thermal designs.

The SX6005 is the industry’s most cost-effective building block for embedded systems and storage with the need for a low port density switch. Whether looking at price-to-performance or energy-to-performance, the SX6005 offers superior performance, power and space reducing capital and operating expenses, providing the best return-on-investment.
