FDR Transmission Rate

Mellanox SX60XX switch systems support FDR (fourteen data rate), an InfiniBand data rate,
where each lane of a 4X port runs a bit rate of 14.0625Gb/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting in
an effective bandwidth of 54.54Gb/s. The FDR physical layer is an IBTA specified physical layer
using advanced block types, deskew mechanism and framing rules for supporting higher speeds
and increased reliability.
SX60XX switches also supports FDR10, a non-standard InfiniBand data rate, where each lane of
a 4X port runs a bit rate of 10.3125Gb/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting in an effective band-
width of 40Gb/s.
FDR10 supports 20% more bandwidth over QDR using the same QSFP cables/connectors.
Both FDR and FDR10 support Forward Error Correction (FEC), as described in IEEE 802.3ap
chapter 74.
