The Dell Networking MX8116n FEM acts as an Ethernet repeater, taking signals from an attached compute sled and repeating them to the associated lane on the external QSFP56-DD connector. The MX8116n FEM also includes two QSFP56-DD interfaces, with each interface providing up to four 100 Gbps connections to the chassis and eight internal 100 GbE server-facing ports.
The MX7000 chassis supports up to four MX8116n FEMs in Fabric A and Fabric B.
