The SX6518 switch also supports FDR10, a non-standard InfiniBand data rate, where each lane of a 4X port runs a bit rate of 10.3125&#160;Gbit/s with a 64b/66b encoding, resulting in an effective bandwidth of 40&#160;Gbit/s.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.jtitle=nVidia&amp;rft.atitle=324-Port+InfiniBand+FDR+SwitchX%C2%AE+Switch+Platform+Hardware+User+Manual&amp;rft.pages=section+1.2&amp;rft.date=2018-04-29&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fnetwork.nvidia.com%2Fpdf%2Fuser_manuals%2FSX6518_User_Manual.pdf&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AInfiniBand" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-ib_roadmap-26"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-ib_roadmap_26-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-ib_roadmap_26-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-ib_roadmap_26-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.infinibandta.org/infiniband-roadmap/">"InfiniBand Roadmap - Advancing InfiniBand"</a>. <i>InfiniBand Trade Association</i>.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=unknown&amp;rft.jtitle=InfiniBand+Trade+Association&amp;rft.atitle=InfiniBand+Roadmap+-+Advancing+InfiniBand&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.infinibandta.org%2Finfiniband-roadmap%2F&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AInfiniBand" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-27"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-27">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/display/ConnectX6VPI/Introduction">"Introduction"</a>. <i>NVIDIA Docs</i><span class="reference-accessdate">.
