Procurement guide
What belongs in a high-speed networking BOM?
Direct answer
List switches, adapters, optical modules and cables together. Verify protocol, speed, connector, port mapping and supported combinations at both ends.
What to check
Ethernet and InfiniBand requirements should be explicit. Equal advertised speeds do not guarantee that modules, cables and ports work together. Confirm firmware and manufacturer-supported combinations before accepting substitutions.
- Protocol and link speed
- Switch and adapter part numbers
- Optics or cable part numbers
- Cable length and connector
- Supported firmware and topology
