HPE FlexFabric 5700 40XG 2QSFP+ Switch

JG896A is the HPE FlexFabric 5700 40XG 2QSFP+ Switch, a 1U top-of-rack data center switch with 40 fixed 1000/10000 SFP+ ports and two 40GbE QSFP+ ports. Each QSFP+ port can also run as four 10GbE ports with a 40GbE-to-10GbE splitter cable. The other models in the 5700 family are JG894A (48G 4XG 2QSFP+) and JG898A (32XGT 8XG 2QSFP+).

Switching capacity is 960 Gbps and forwarding reaches 714.2 Mpps, with cut-through latency under 1.5 µs for 64-byte packets at 10 Gbps. The switch holds a 64,000-entry MAC table, 9 MB of packet buffer, 2 GB of SDRAM and 512 MB of flash, and it handles jumbo frames up to 10,000 bytes. Comware v7 runs the switch, with IRF for up to nine switches in one virtual device, TRILL, DCB with PFC, FCoE, OpenFlow 1.0 and 1.3, and reversible airflow.

The chassis has two power supply slots and two fan tray slots. One power supply is the minimum. The fan trays are separate parts: two trays of the same airflow direction are required, and the switch should not run on one tray for more than 24 hours. JG900A (300W AC) and JG901A (300W DC) are the power supplies, and JC682A and JC683A are the two airflow directions for the fan tray. Maximum power is 162 W and idle power is 90 W. The chassis is 17.32 in wide, 18.11 in deep and 1.72 in high.

The SFP+ ports take the X120 1G modules JD098B, JD099B, JD118B, JD119B and JD089B, the X130 10G modules JD092B (SR) and JD094B (LR), and X240 10G direct attach cables from 0.65 m to 7 m. The QSFP+ ports take JG661A (LR4), JL251A (BiDi), JG325B (SR4), JL286A (LR4L), JG709A (CSR4), X240 40G direct attach and splitter cables, and the JL287A, JL288A and JL289A active optical cables.

The spare numbers for the switch are JG896-61001 and JG896-61101. More switches are in HPE switches.
