Brocade NI-X-32-HSF MLX/XMR 32 Switch Fabric Module

SKU CH-Q7AR-X6DE9

Provides 32 high-speed fabric channels for MLX and XMR chassis

  • High-speed fabric for MLX/XMR chassis
  • 32-slot switching capacity per module
  • New condition ready for deployment
  • Core switching module for Brocade systems

32-port high-speed fabric module

The Brocade NI-X-32-HSF MLX/XMR 32 is a new switch fabric module built for Brocade MLX and XMR chassis platforms. It provides 32 high-speed fabric channels to expand the internal switching capacity of compatible core routers. Network operators deploy this module to scale backbone throughput without replacing the entire chassis infrastructure. It is designed for service-provider and large-enterprise environments that require dense fabric connectivity.

Chassis slot integration and fabric scaling

The module installs directly into a dedicated fabric slot within a supported MLX or XMR chassis, drawing power and cooling from the host system. No external cabling or separate power supply is required for the fabric function itself. By adding this module, administrators free up line-card slots that would otherwise be used for interconnect links, allowing more revenue-facing ports to be populated. Buyers needing fabric redundancy beyond a single module or compatibility with non-MLX/XMR platforms should verify chassis specifications before purchase.
