Description

The Nexus B22F is a blade fabric extender for Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX400 and BX900 enclosures. It acts as a remote line card for a parent Cisco Nexus 5000 or 6000 switch, extending the unified fabric into the blade chassis so server access is managed from a single point.

This pre-configured bundle (-P) provides 16 internal 10GBASE-KR host interfaces to the blade servers and 8 SFP+ 10G fabric uplinks. Fabric speed is 80 Gbps in each direction (160 Gbps full duplex) with 2:1 oversubscription and hardware forwarding at 400 Gbps or 297 mpps. Ethernet and FCoE traffic share the same uplinks, and vPC is supported for fast convergence. The unit can sit up to 3 km from the parent switch (300 m for FCoE traffic).

There is no separate licence for the fabric extender itself, as its software is delivered from the parent Nexus switch NX-OS image. It is powered by the blade chassis at 12V and 6A, with a typical draw of 56 W. Uplinks accept FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR and SFP-10G-ER optics, plus SFP-H10GB Twinax and QSFP-4SFP10G breakout cables.

Enquire with XS Network Tech for new or used pricing and availability.

Q: How is the B22F powered?
A: It is powered by the Fujitsu blade chassis at 12V and 6A, with a typical draw of 56 W and a maximum of 70 W. It has no separate power supply or fan tray.

Q: Which optics and cables work on the fabric uplinks?
A: The 8 SFP+ uplinks accept FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR and SFP-10G-ER optics. Cisco SFP-H10GB passive and active Twinax cables and QSFP-4SFP10G breakout cables are also supported.
