How this unit is built
Built to your work order from a recovered chassis, with refurbished power supplies and fans for the airflow you need, then loaded with compatible firmware and operating system and tested before it ships.
See the production flowNVIDIA Mellanox MTX6240-2SFS MetroX™ Long-Haul System — 40km Reach, 40Gb/s Per Long-Haul Port, Refurbished.
The MTX6240-2SFS is a MetroX long-haul interconnect appliance for bridging fabrics between physically separate sites. It IS a dedicated data center interconnect (DCI) appliance with two long-haul ports and short-reach client-side ports. It is NOT a top-of-rack switch, line card, or in-rack server aggregation device — for ToR aggregation use Spectrum or Quantum switches; for blade-style EDR fabric use the SB7800 family.
Engineering Context. Two long-haul ports operate at 40Gb/s line rate per port, with reach up to 40 kilometers on single-mode dark fiber. Designed to extend InfiniBand and Ethernet semantics across metro distance, preserving end-to-end fabric properties for storage replication and HPC. Local-side short-reach ports attach to client-side fabric. Rack-mountable form factor with redundant power supplies (consult datasheet for exact wattage).
Deployment & Use Cases. Cross-campus or cross-metro DCI between two data centers, synchronous storage replication between primary and DR sites, HPC cluster bridging across two physical buildings, cloud zone interconnect for low-latency replication, and geographically redundant infrastructure for regulated industries.
Technical Specifications:
Compatibility & Constraints. Requires single-mode dark fiber or a clean DWDM channel between the two sites. Pair with a matching MetroX appliance at the far end. Will NOT operate with multimode fiber on the long-haul ports. Reach beyond 40 km is not supported by this SKU; for longer distances or amplified links, use a higher-reach MetroX SKU. Long-haul optics and link parameters must match the dark-fiber plant.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is the MTX6240-2SFS?
The MTX6240-2SFS is a MetroX long-haul interconnect appliance extending InfiniBand fabric reach up to 40km per port at 40Gb/s.
Q. Is this a standard rack switch?
No. It is a long-haul range-extension appliance, purpose-built for stretching InfiniBand fabrics across distance, not a general-purpose fabric switch.
Q. Will T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS confirm the configuration of MTX6240-2SFS before shipping?
Yes. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS (tes-itsolutions.com) bench-tests each unit where test topology is available, checks EEPROM/vendor data, before dispatch from EU stock.
Why TES. Each MTX6240-2SFS is functionally tested by T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS including long-haul port link establishment, with 1–3 business day handling from EU stock.
