Description
The Brocade X7 ICL Kit 2 km (BR-X7ICLKIT-2KM-01) extends high-speed UltraScale Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) connectivity for Gen 7 Brocade X7 Directors across distances of up to 2 kilometers. Each kit licenses 8 QSFP ports per chassis (4 per Core Routing blade), enabling high-bandwidth interconnection between Brocade X7 Directors for scalable, low-latency, and resilient Fibre Channel fabrics.
Built for modernized data centers and mission-critical SAN environments, this Gen 7 ICL kit delivers 4 × Gen 7 ICL data rate performance over single-mode fiber, maintaining optimal throughput for high-density storage infrastructures. Supporting secure, nondisruptive scaling and simplified cabling architecture, the Brocade X7 ICL Kit 2 km is ideal for enterprises that require long-distance, high-availability connectivity across multi-director core fabrics.
