56-Port Managed Switch for Data Centres

The Brocade VDX 6740T-1G is a rack-mountable managed switch with 56 ports. It supports primary speeds of 40GBase-X and 10/100/1000Base-T. The unit weighs 23.85 lb and is listed as new condition. It is built for network administrators who need a high-density, managed aggregation layer.

Suits High-Density Managed Aggregation

This switch suits teams that need a single managed chassis with many copper and high-speed uplink ports. It is not for buyers who require Power over Ethernet, fanless silent operation, or a compact desktop form factor. It also does not suit environments that need Layer 3 routing features not confirmed in the supplied specifications.

Primary Port Speed Determines Compatibility

The primary port speed of 40GBase-X and 10/100/1000Base-T dictates which transceivers and cables you can use. Verify that your existing fibre and copper infrastructure matches these exact standards before purchase. Mismatched speeds will prevent links from coming up.

Questions about this item

What rack width and power circuits do I need to install this 56-port managed switch?

The unit is rack-mountable and weighs 23.85 lb; allow space for a standard rack shelf and one power circuit per installed power supply.

Can I connect my existing 10/100/1000Base-T servers directly to the copper ports on this VDX 6740T-1G?

Yes, the copper ports auto-negotiate 10/100/1000Base-T, so legacy gigabit hosts plug in without adapters or configuration changes.

After cabling, which front-panel LEDs confirm the 40GBase-X uplinks and 1G copper links are up?

Each port shows a solid link LED when a valid connection is established; the management module also displays system health and per-port status.
