Any Tips for low power consumption 40GbE Switch

[zeynel]

Hi,

i am looking for a Full 18-36 40GbE switch or a 24-48 10GbE/ 4-8port 40GbE uplinks Switch.

which one are have a acceptable power consumption ? has anyone "real" data ?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming QSFP+ on the switch, you can look at the Gnodals which are well under 200w.

This will be fairly representative of the Trident II generation of switches: QCT QuantaMesh T3048-LY8 Review - Our SFP+ lab switch

The Mellanox 6xxx or 1xxx ones would qualify from a consumption point of view but I assume you want one which is actually affordable

I have found a S5850-48S6Q with 48 SFP+ ports and 6 QSFP+ ports. The max power consumption is 190W.

Around 200w... (not too much load)
Nexus 9236C and it supports 100G on all 36 ports, if you only want 10G each port can run 4x10G

93180YC-EX is also a not bad choice but only 10g/25g x 48ports with 6 x 40/100G uplink ports.

Neither of these is cheap though and I assume your looking for things more in second hand market... maybe Nexus switches below can be found used already...
9372PX 10G all ports, but I don't know power, I don't have any on monitored PDU to check.
9332PQ is 40G all ports
