Overview

HPE FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series

HPE FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series is a family of high-density, ultra-low-latency, and ToR switches that is part of the HPE
FlexFabric solution (from the HPE Cloud-First Reference Architecture).

Ideally suited for deployment at the aggregation or server access layer of large enterprise data centers and telecom customers.
The HPE FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series is also powerful enough for deployment at the core layer of medium-sized enterprises.

With the increase in virtualized applications and server-to-server traffic, customers require spine and ToR switches that can meet
their throughput requirements. With the HPE FlexFabric 5945, data centers can now support up to 100 Gb per port, allowing high-
performance server connectivity and the capabilities to handle virtual environments. This is available in the low-latency HPE
FlexFabric 5945 Switch Series..

2 Localization (Wall Power Cord) required on orders without #B2B, #B2C, and #AC3 (PDU Power
Cord) . (See Localization Menu)
REMARK: When Switches/Routers are Factory Racked, Then #B2B, or #B2C should be the
Defaulted Power Cable option on the Switches/Routers.
3 Must be ordered in multiples of 2 if configuring with JQ076A
Notes: ­ Drop down under power supply should offer the following options and results:
­ Switch/Router to PDU Power Cord - #B2B in NA, Mexico, Taiwan, and Japan or #B2C ROW.
(Watson Default B2B or B2C for Rack Level CTO)
­ Switch/Router/Power Supply to Wall Power Cord - Localized Option (Watson Default for BTO
