|---|---|
| MTBF | 991,182 hours (113 years) |
| Standard | According to UTE C 80-810 |
Electrical rating
This table shows the power consumption for an NT50B01 SmartNIC including 2 pluggable modules.
| Port Speed | Power consumption [in W] |
|---|---|
| NT50B01 2 × 10 Gbit/s | 25 |
| NT50B01 2 × 25 Gbit/s | 30 |
Power is measured with capture of a stream with 80% load of 300-byte frames. A sustaining load of 80% with 300-byte frames is representative for maximum real-life scenario.
The SmartNIC is Class III equipment for supply by SELV circuits only.
