Dell S6100-ON Switch Compatible Modules and Cables

by Fiber-MART.COM
It is commonsense in telecommunications that data centers require repetitive building blocks of equipment with the advancement of Internet and increasing demand for higher data rate. For this reason, it is important for switches to have high flexibility to support different data rates and transmission medias, especially those switches for Layer 2 and Layer 3 in network migration. Besides flexibility, as new generation networks such as virtualization and cloud computing services come forth, the trend of future data centers is toward soft-ware defined networking (SDN), where all infrastructure is virtualized and delivered as a service. This requires the switches to be on-demand provisioning. Dell S6100-ON is a switch potential with these capabilities. This article will introduce some specific interfaces for S6100-ON to assist in the installation and deployment of S6100-ON in your network.

How S6100-ON Optimizes Data Center Network
The high-performance Dell Networking S6100-ON is a compact full featured modular 10/25/40/50/100GbE switch for applications in data center and computing environments. It has four I/O module slots, and there are three modules available. These three modules are 16x40GE QSFP+ I/O module, 8x100GE QSFP28 I/O module, 4x100GE CXP and 4x100GEQSFP28 IO module. Figure 1 shows its configurations. For the first module, all 16 ports of 40GbE QSFP+ can be used as 40GbE or 8 ports can breakout of 4x10GbE. The second module is 8 ports of the 100GbE QSFP28. Each QSFP28 port can be used as 100GbE or 4x25GbE or 2x50GbE or 4x10GbE with breakout cables when available. And The other two modules are 4 ports of 100GbE CXP and 4 ports of QSFP28. Each CXP port can be used as 100GbE. Each QSFP28 port can be used as 100GbE or 4x25GbE or 2x50GbEor 4x10GbE with breakout cables when available.
 
S6100-ON Applications and Features
The S6100-ON supports applications of high density 10/25/40/50/100GbE top-of rack (ToR) server aggregation in high performance data center environments. The 2RU device can provide up to 32 ports of 100GbE (QSFP28), 64 ports of 40GbE (QSFP+), or 128 ports of 10GbE. Targeting at cloud and big data environments, it supports the new 25GbE and 50GbE specifications as well. Incorporate with Dell Z9500 switch, it can be used in large implementations, thus creating a flat, two-tier, non-blocking 10/25/40/50/100GbE data center network design. Along with other S-Series 1/10/40GbE ToR switches, it is suitable for small-scale implementation in leaf and spine, enabling cost-effective aggregation of 10/25/40/50/100GbE uplinks. It can be deployed in iSCSI storage including data center bridge (DCB) converged lossless transactions. In addition, it supports scalable L2 and L3 Ethernet switching and jumbo frame for large data transfers. Using the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE), the S6100-ON adds automated configuration and provisioning capabilities to simplify the the management of network environments. To sum up, it provides the flexibility and agility to transform data centers and offer high-capacity network fabrics that are easy to deploy. It also provides cost-effective solutions to aggregations of different network modules, creating a non-blocking switching architecture, and it offers a clear path to a software-defined data center with affordable prices.

Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

  Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Corrugated armor is a coated steel tape folded around the cable longitudinally. It is found in outdoor cables and offers extra mechanical and rodent protection.   The Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable In basic armored fiber cable designs, the outer sleeve provides protection against wind, solvents, and abrasion. This outer sleeve is usually made of plastic such as polyethylene. The next layer between the sleeve and the inner jacket is an armoring layer of materials that are difficult to cut, chew, or bu

what the Differences Between FBT Splitter and PLC Splitter

  In FTTx and PON architectures, optical splitter plays an increasingly significant role to create a variety of point-to-multipoint fiber optic networks. But do you know what is a fiber optic splitter? In fact, a fiber optic splitter is a passive optical device that can split or separate an incident light beam into two or more light beams. Basically, there are two types of fiber splitter classified by their working principle: fused biconical taper splitter (FBT splitter) and planar lightwave circuit splitter (PLC splitter). You may have one question: what’s the difference between them and shall we use FBT or PLC splitter?   What Is FBT Splitter? FBT splitter is based on a traditional technology to weld several fiber together from side of the fiber. Fibers are aligned by heating for a specific location and length. Because the fused fibers are very fragile, they are protected by a glass tube made of epoxy and silica powder. And then a stainless steel tube covers the inner glass tu

Introduction of Optical Fiber Couplers and How Do They Work?

 What are optical fiber couplers? A fiber optic coupler can be defined as an optical component used with one or more input fibers and several output fibers in fiber optic systems. A coupler essentially puts two or more cores of fibers together to connect. The simple coupler is the fused fiber 2x2 coupler. Couplers are used as multiplexers that are resistant to certain wavelengths. A fiber output depends on the wavelength of light and the frequency of polarization. The fiber refractive index also plays a significant role in the performance. Let’s checkout how do optic couplers work to understand this better. How do fiber optic couplers work? Either fiber optic couplers separate optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals in one direction. Optical signals are more complicated than electrical signals, making it more difficult to design optical couplers than their electrical copy. Unlike electrical currents, the optical signal consists of a stream of signal carriers, in
