Silver 1U rack switch with 36 front ports and dual rear power supplies

Mellanox Technologies

Mellanox SX6036 36-Port 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand Switch 2x PSU

SKU CH-CD0T-8S251

A 1U 36-port switch delivering 4.032 TB/s capacity with 56 Gb/s InfiniBand to 40 Gb/s Ethernet gateway and 400 ns latency, plus dual hot-swap PSUs

  • 36 ports at 56 Gb/s FDR InfiniBand for high-density compute clusters
  • 032 TB/s switching capacity handles massive east-west traffic
  • Sub-400 ns InfiniBand-to-Ethernet gateway latency accelerates mixed workloads
  • Hot-swap dual 100–240 V AC PSUs keep the fabric running during maintenance
  • 1U 19-inch form factor fits 36 ports in a single rack unit

High-density InfiniBand gateway

The Mellanox SX6036 is a 1U 19-inch managed switch that delivers 36 ports of 56Gb/s FDR InfiniBand connectivity with 40Gb/s Ethernet gateway capability. It provides 4.032 TB/s of switching capacity and a 400ns latency between InfiniBand and Ethernet domains. The unit includes dual hot-swap redundant power supplies operating from 100 to 240V AC with typical power consumption between 126W and 231W.

Dual-protocol consolidation

VPI virtual interconnect protocol allows InfiniBand and Ethernet traffic to coexist on a single platform, reducing cabling and management overhead. Management access is provided through dual 100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 ports, an RS-232 serial console and a USB port. Hot-swap fan modules support selectable front-to-rear or rear-to-front airflow to match rack cooling strategies. LED indicators give immediate visual status for each port and system health.

Data-centre clusters needing unified fabric

This switch suits high-performance computing clusters and storage fabrics that require dense 56Gb/s InfiniBand with integrated 40Gb/s Ethernet gateway functions. Organisations needing only pure Ethernet switching or higher port speeds should evaluate alternative platforms. Buyers without compatible FDR InfiniBand adapters or 40Gb/s Ethernet transceivers will not be able to use the ports.

Questions about this item

Will the hot-swap fan unit or dual PSUs need scheduled replacement?

Both the fan unit and the two power supplies are hot-swappable, so they can be replaced without downtime if a failure occurs.

Which limit appears first during sustained 56 Gb/s traffic — the 4.032 TB/s switching capacity or the 400 ns gateway latency?

The 4.032 TB/s aggregate switching capacity is the hard ceiling; latency stays at 400 ns until that throughput limit is reached.

What is the typical power draw and heat output when the switch runs continuously?

Typical consumption ranges from 126 W to 231 W from the 100–240 V AC supplies, and the reversible fan unit exhausts that heat front-to-rear or rear-to-front.
