The MSN3420-CB2FC is an NVIDIA (Mellanox brand) Spectrum-2 Open Ethernet switch in a 1U form factor, supporting 25GbE and 100GbE data rates. It provides 60 ports across SFP28 and QSFP28 cage types, making it a leaf or top-of-rack platform that aggregates 25G server links into 100G uplinks. The MSN3420-CB2FC is a managed switch with active fan cooling, power-to-connector (P2C) airflow and dual redundant hot-swappable power supplies. NVIDIA rates it at 250 W power consumption over a 0 C to 45 C operating range, with a 200, 000 hour MTBF.

Leaf and top-of-rack switches with 25G access ports and 100G uplinks are the standard building block of modern spine-leaf data center fabrics, where each rack of servers terminates locally and trunks up to the spine. The MSN3420-CB2FC fits that role for racks running 25GbE server NICs, and the Open Ethernet designation means it can run a choice of network operating systems rather than a single vendor stack. Dual hot-swappable supplies and P2C airflow indicate a production data center deployment where uptime and hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment are requirements. Typical buyers are cloud and hosting providers, HPC and AI cluster builders, enterprise data center network teams and systems integrators.
