The NVIDIA Mellanox® MSN2410-CB2FO is a Spectrum-based 1U short-depth Open Ethernet switch with 48× 25GbE SFP28 access ports and 8× 100GbE QSFP28 uplink ports, shipped with the ONIE bootloader for the customer's choice of NOS (Cumulus Linux, SONiC, Mellanox Onyx). This is a fixed-configuration leaf/ToR switch — not a modular spine chassis, an InfiniBand HDR/NDR fabric switch, or a 200/400GbE platform. Condition: NEW — sealed unit, port and PSU integrity checked before dispatch.
Engineering Context. Built around the first-generation NVIDIA Spectrum ASIC, the MSN2410 supports cut-through forwarding with low, deterministic per-packet latency across all packet sizes. Native port speeds include 1/10/25GbE on the SFP28 array and 40/100GbE on the QSFP28 ports, with QSFP28 ports configurable for 4×25GbE breakout when paired with breakout DACs/AOCs. The integrated x86 dual-core control-plane CPU handles telemetry, BMC, and management. Two hot-swappable AC PSUs and field-replaceable fan trays provide redundancy.
Deployment & Use Cases. Top-of-rack leaf for high-density 25GbE access racks, NVMe-oF storage spines, EVPN-VXLAN data center fabrics, OpenStack/Kubernetes private-cloud underlays, and SONiC/Cumulus open-networking deployments where an ONIE-shipped chassis lets the operator deploy their preferred NOS at first boot.

Airflow Direction: P2C (power-to-connector / front-to-rear)
Condition: NEW — sealed unit
Compatibility & Constraints. Compatible with NVIDIA/Mellanox QSFP28 and SFP28 DACs, AOCs, and transceivers; third-party optics may need vendor coding for full link-up. Rail kit is sold separately — verify compatibility with your rack depth before ordering. P2C airflow only — verify rack airflow keying before install. NOS not pre-installed — the operator must select and install Cumulus Linux, SONiC, or Mellanox Onyx via ONIE at first boot, with separately licensed subscriptions where required. Not compatible with 200/400GbE workloads (Spectrum-1 silicon caps at 100GbE) and not an InfiniBand switch.
Why TES. T.E.S IT-SOLUTIONS stocks new and certified-refurbished NVIDIA Mellanox Spectrum and Quantum switches, ConnectX adapters, and matching DAC/AOC/transceiver inventory. Orders ship from EU stock with 1-3 business day handling, pre-dispatch port and PSU testing, and integration support.
