FDR Transmission Rate
Mellanox switch systems support FDR (fourteen data rate), an InfiniBand data rate, where each
lane of a 4X port runs a bit rate of 14.0625 Gb/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting in an effec-
tive bandwidth of 56.25 Gb/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.
The switches also supports FDR10, a non-standard InfiniBand data rate, where each lane of a 4X
port runs a bit rate of 10.3125 Gb/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting in an effective bandwidth
of 40 Gb/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.
