The Huawei CX912 Multi-Plane Switch Module is a high-performance switching module designed to enhance the connectivity and data processing capabilities of compatible Huawei enterprise and data center switching platforms. The module provides a combination of sixteen 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) ports and eight 8G Fibre Channel (FC) ports, enabling flexible integration of both Ethernet networking and storage area network (SAN) connectivity within the same infrastructure.The integrated 10GE ports support high-speed Ethernet data transmission, making the module suitable for aggregation layers, data center environments, and high-bandwidth enterprise networks. In addition, the eight 8G Fibre Channel ports provide reliable and low-latency connectivity for storage systems and SAN environments. The module supports Brocade technology for Fibre Channel networking, ensuring compatibility with enterprise storage infrastructures and facilitating efficient storage traffic management.
The CX912 module features a multi-plane switching architecture designed to improve system performance, reliability, and traffic distribution across the network fabric. Four uplink ports are activated by default, providing enhanced scalability and optimized data flow for demanding workloads. Its modular design allows easy installation into supported Huawei switch chassis, enabling organizations to expand network capacity without replacing the entire switching system.
Designed for high-availability environments, the Huawei CX912 ensures stable operation, efficient data forwarding, and seamless integration with existing enterprise networking and storage infrastructures. This makes it an ideal solution for large data centers, cloud platforms, and enterprise networks requiring both high-speed Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity.
