Description
The Cisco DS-X9706-FAB3 is a high-performance fabric module designed for the Cisco MDS 9706 Multilayer Director, enabling robust scalability and high-throughput connectivity within data center environments. Built to support 16-Gbps and 32-Gbps Fibre Channel switching modules, this third-generation fabric module ensures non-blocking, line-rate performance across all slots when fully populated. Its compact and efficient design integrates seamlessly into the MDS 9706 chassis, contributing to a highly available and resilient SAN infrastructure. Engineered for mission-critical applications, the DS-X9706-FAB3 supports redundancy and hot-swappable capabilities to minimize downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
This fabric module features six high-speed fabric channels, each capable of delivering up to 256 Gbps of bandwidth, providing an aggregate switching capacity of up to 1.5 Tbps per module. When three DS-X9706-FAB3 modules are installed in a single chassis, the system delivers full fabric bandwidth to every slot, enhancing performance for dense, high-speed configurations. It is compatible with Cisco NX-OS software and integrates advanced diagnostics and monitoring tools for simplified management. Ideal for buyers seeking reliable used network hardware, the DS-X9706-FAB3 offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on enterprise-grade performance and durability.
