IB refers to InfiniBand™ Trade Association Specification / CX4 refers to the
10GBase Ethernet-CS4 Specification.
* The InfiniBand DDR lengths for each gauge are based on Meritec’s testing with a Qlogic/Silverstorm
24-Port Switch P/N 9024-CU24-ST2-DDR using the outermost
(
worst-case
)
mezzanine ports
