- Specifications
Working as the 256-Gbps fabric module of the MDS 9513, the DS-13SLT-FAB3 is the Cisco MDS 9513 Crossbar Switching Fabric3 Module. With 8-Gbps switching modules it provides 256 Gbps of throughput between modules in each direction for each of the eleven MDS 9513 payload slots.
On the 32-port DS-X9232-256K9 32-port 8 Gbps module, that fabric speed lets every port run at full line rate. The Fabric3 module needs Cisco NX-OS Release 5.2 or beyond.
Spare numbers are DS-13SLT-FAB3= and, for HP systems, DS-13SLT-FAB3NH=. The DS-C9513-4AK9 base configuration is the chassis with two Sup2A modules, two Fabric3 modules and two 6K AC power supplies. Fibre Channel line cards that pair with the Fabric3 module are available in Cisco interface cards.
