Product overview
Mellanox lists MSX6012F-2BFS as a SX6012 12 QSFP+ FDR 56Gb/s Switch. Airflow direction has to match the rest of the row, and a front-to-back unit dropped into a back-to-front aisle will run hot from day one. Tell us the rack layout and we will confirm the variant.
Ask for the datasheet and firmware notes with the quote; we would rather you check our claim than take it.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against MSX6012F-2BFS specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.

Questions buyers ask about this part
Is MSX6012F-2BFS genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. It ships new in Mellanox packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
Will MSX6012F-2BFS work in my server?
Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
