N7K-C7010-FAB-2 Cisco Nexus 7010 Fabric-2 Module

The N7K-C7010-FAB-2 is the Cisco Nexus 7000 10-slot chassis Fabric-2 module with 110 Gbps per slot per fabric module. It is a separate fabric module that provides parallel fabric channels to each I/O and supervisor module slot, and the spare form of the part is N7K-C7010-FAB-2=.

From one to five fabric modules can be active at the same time, and each one added raises the bandwidth to every module slot up to the limit of five. With five modules the system delivers up to 550 Gbps per slot and a capacity above 15 Tbps. The combined fabric modules give 10 channels per I/O module and 5 channels per supervisor module, and if one module fails the remaining modules load-balance the bandwidth with lossless fabric failover.

The module is supported in the Nexus 7000 10-slot switch chassis, is online insertion and removal (OIR) hot swap, and weighs 4 lb (1.8 kg). Its dimensions are 1.733 x 14.93 x 7.33 in (4.4 x 37.92 x 18.62 cm), height by width by depth. The software requirement is Cisco NX-OS Release 6.0 or later with Cisco DCNM 6.0 for management, and the module supports SNMP versions 1, 2c and 3. Operating temperature is 32 to 104 F (0 to 40 C).

Other chassis use other Fabric-2 modules: the N7K-C7009-FAB-2 for the 9-slot chassis and the N7K-C7018-FAB-2 for the 18-slot chassis. The 10-slot chassis itself is the N7K-C7010 Nexus 7000 10-slot chassis, and the 18-slot version is the N7K-C7018 Nexus 7000 18-slot chassis. More Nexus modules are in Cisco switches.
