Module Specs Highlights: Low latency fabric expander module for efficiently scaling fabric bandwidth across a multi-chassis environment One cable supports 8 x 25GbE connections back to the FSE Nothing to manage, no firmware to update Key Capabilities: 16 x 25GbE server-facing ports, 2x Fabric Expansion ports back to FSE Supported in Fabrics A & B Supports all PowerEdge MX Ethernet Cards No switching ASIC and no OS Sub ~75ns latency All switching done at FSE No port-to-port oversubscription Serves as a Pass-Through Module to select Dell EMC Networking Ethernet switches (10GbE & 25GbE*) The Dell EMC Networking MX7116n Fabric Expander Module is a key component in the MX Scalable Fabric Architecture. This module transparently extends the networking capabilities of the MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine to multiple PowerEdge™ MX7000 chassis, providing high performance networking at a low TCO. The MX7116n extends the capabilities of the MX9116n Fabric Switching Engine to a total of ten MX7000 chassis and 80 PowerEdge MX compute sleds. In addition to 16 internal 25GbE ports, the MX7116n provides two QSFP28-Double Density uplink ports. Each QSFP28-DD port provides capacity for eight 25GbE connections from PowerEdge MX compute sleds for a total of 200GbE of bandwidth per QSFP28-DD cable, and 400GbE bandwidth per MX7116n.
