Air Flow

These switches come with the air flow pattern of air entering through the spine side and
exiting through the connector side.

QSFP Cable Power Budget Classification

All SX6536 QSFP switches are designed for active cables with a max power per module
of 2.0W. This is power level 2 according to the QSFP Public Specification.

Management Module Interfaces

The switch system requires at least one management module. The management module
has five interfaces to connect to the SX6536. They are:
• 1 I2C port
• 1 CONSOLE port – this is an RS232 connector for connecting to a host
machine
• 1 MGT – this is an Ethernet connector
• 1 USB port
• 1 RST – reset button
