SKU CH-RMGE-6GS28 MPN BR-300

A 1 RU SAN switch with 24 x 8GbE FCoE SFP ports, eight active, plus RJ-45 management and USB console

  • 1 RU form factor saves rack space
  • 24 SFP ports ready for 8GbE Fibre Channel connectivity
  • 8 ports activated for immediate SAN deployment
  • Dedicated RJ-45 management port enables out-of-band control
  • Port-side exhaust airflow matches standard data-centre cooling

Purpose-built SAN switch

The Brocade BR-300 is a 1 RU storage-area-network switch with 24 SFP ports rated for 8 GbE Fibre Channel over Ethernet, eight of which are active out of the box. A single RJ-45 management port, a mini-USB console port and a USB Type-A port provide out-of-band access. The chassis uses port-side exhaust airflow.

Who it fits

This switch suits administrators expanding an existing 8 GbE Fibre Channel fabric who only need eight active ports today but want the physical density to add more later. It is not for buyers who need every port active immediately or who require faster Fibre Channel speeds. Environments without SFP transceivers or Fibre Channel cabling should look elsewhere.

Deciding specification

The critical figure is eight active 8 GbE FCoE SFP ports in a 1 RU form factor. If the current deployment needs more than eight simultaneous links, additional licensing or a different chassis will be required.
