SN5400
NVIDIA Spectrum SN5400 — Spectrum-4 based 400GbE 2U Open Ethernet switch, 64 QSFP56-DD ports and 2 SFP28 ports
NVIDIA Spectrum SN5000
Positioning
Inherited from the NVIDIA Spectrum SN5000 family — positioning is family-scoped in the graph
NVIDIA's fifth-generation Spectrum Ethernet switches, on the Spectrum-4 ASIC: 2U fixed switches with 64 x 800GbE OSFP ports (SN5610), splittable to up to 128 x 400GbE, or 64 x 400GbE QSFP56-DD ports (SN5400), splittable to up to 128 x 200GbE; both go to 256 lower-speed ports with splitter cables. NVIDIA positions the SN5000 as part of its Spectrum-X networking platform for AI data centres.

Where the specifications on this page come from
Where does the SN5400 data come from?
The SN5400 specifications on this page are sourced from NVIDIA's published datasheets and product documentation. SKUit extracts and normalises those values into its product catalog, the same data its BOM builder uses. This page summarises them; it is not NVIDIA's datasheet, and the original documents are published by NVIDIA.
