Mellanox MSN4600-CS2R 100GbE 2U Open Ethernet Switch 64 QSFP28 ports, 2 PS(AC), x86 CPU, Standard depth, C2P airflow

The Mellanox MSN4600-CS2R is a high-performance 100GbE open Ethernet switch delivering exceptional data center connectivity with 64 QSFP28 ports in a compact 2U form factor. Built on the powerful Spectrum-3 ASIC, it provides 12.8 Tbps switching capacity with ultra-low latency and advanced telemetry capabilities. The integrated x86 CPU enables flexible software-defined networking and automation, while dual AC power supplies ensure redundancy. Its standard depth design fits seamlessly into existing racks, and the C2P (cold-to-port) airflow optimizes thermal management. Key advantages include wire-speed performance across all ports, comprehensive network visibility through What Just Happened (WJH) telemetry, support for modern protocols like VXLAN and EVPN, and the flexibility of open networking with SONiC or other NOS options. This switch is ideal for hyperscale data centers, cloud providers, and enterprises requiring high-density, low-latency networking with operational simplicity.
