Brocade MLX-4 4U rack-mount router chassis

SKU CH-M1HC-6Y356 MPN MLX-4

A 4U rack-mount router chassis with four expansion slots and redundant power support

  • 4U rack-mountable form factor fits standard cabinets
  • 4 total expansion slots enable modular growth
  • Redundant power supply support maintains uptime
  • RoHS and WEEE certified for environmental compliance
  • 5" width and 22.5" depth suit dense deployments

4U router chassis for IP/MPLS aggregation

The Brocade NetIron MLX-4 is a 4U rack-mountable router chassis built on a fifth-generation network-processor architecture with terabit-scale switch fabrics. It delivers high-performance IPv4, IPv6, MPLS and Multi-VRF services alongside advanced Layer 2 switching. The chassis provides four total expansion slots and supports redundant power supplies for high availability. Green compliance includes RoHS and WEEE certifications.

Suits core aggregation and MPLS edge deployments

This chassis fits service-provider and large-enterprise networks that need scalable IP/MPLS aggregation with multi-service flexibility. It is not suited for buyers who require integrated firewall blades or deep packet inspection capabilities. It also does not serve environments needing dense high-speed line-rate interfaces beyond the slot capacity provided. The form factor requires a standard 4U rack opening.

Four expansion slots determine line-card capacity

The single specification that decides fit is the four total expansion slots available for line cards or service modules. This slot count fixes the maximum port density and service-module combinations the chassis can support. The physical dimensions are 17.5 inches wide and 22.5 inches deep, fitting standard 4U rack space. Redundant power supply support is included for resilience.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 4U chassis produce when running continuously with redundant power supplies?

The 4U rack-mount chassis supports redundant power supplies and carries RoHS and WEEE green compliance certificates, indicating regulated power efficiency and materials standards.

Which line cards or modules must I already own to populate the four expansion slots?

The chassis provides four total expansion slots for NetIron MLX series line cards; specific modules are sold separately and must match the MLX product family.

Will the 17.5-inch width and 22.5-inch depth align with my existing 4U rack equipment?

The unit measures 17.5 inches wide by 22.5 inches deep and fits a standard 4U rack opening, so it aligns with other 4U devices in the same cabinet.
