NVIDIA Mellanox FDR and QDR InfiniBand Switches
NVIDIA Mellanox FDR and QDR InfiniBand switches are the SwitchX-2 (FDR 56Gb/s) and InfiniScale IV (QDR 40Gb/s) generations, still running in HPC clusters, labs and storage networks. NetworkTigers sells SX6000-series, MetroX TX6100, IS5000 and TS3600 switches and their power supplies, refurbished, used and new, tested and working.

Part numbers we list
SX6000 key, using MSX6036F-1SFS: F is FDR, T is FDR10. The digit is the number of power supplies. S is standard depth, B is short depth. The next F is P2C (back-to-front) airflow, R is C2P (front-to-back).

Which one do I need?
Choose SX6036, SX6018 or SX6012 when the fabric has no subnet manager elsewhere. Choose SX6025, SX6005, IS5025 or IS5023 when a subnet manager already runs on a server or managed switch. Match the speed to your adapters: FDR for ConnectX-3, QDR for older cards. For EDR 100Gb/s, see Switch-IB EDR.
Adapters: ConnectX. Cables and optics: DAC and transceivers.
Every switch and power supply carries our 365-day warranty. Ask us for a quote.
