Unmanaged NDR Switch | 51.2 Tb/s Aggregate Throughput | For External Subnet Management
Engineered for extreme-scale AI, HPC, and hyperscale data centers. The MQM9790-NS2F delivers 64 non-blocking ports of 400Gb/s InfiniBand in a compact 1U chassis, enabling flexible topologies and massive scalability with SHARPv3 in-network computing.
Hong Kong Starsurge Group presents the NVIDIA Quantum-2 MQM9790-NS2F — a high-performance, unmanaged 400Gb/s InfiniBand switch designed for customers who require external subnet management (e.g., NVIDIA UFM). As part of the QM9700 series, this switch provides 32 OSFP ports supporting 64* 400Gb/s connections (or up to 128 ports at 200Gb/s via split technology). With a landmark 51.2 terabits per second bidirectional throughput and over 66.5 billion packets per second capacity, the MQM9790-NS2F is ideal for research institutions, finance, manufacturing, and enterprise AI clusters demanding low latency and lossless fabric.
Built on the NVIDIA Quantum-2 ASIC, the MQM9790-NS2F leverages state-of-the-art 400Gb/s SerDes technology. It incorporates Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) for low CPU overhead and high throughput, adaptive routing to avoid fabric hotspots, and NVIDIA SHARPv3 for in-network reductions, dramatically accelerating collective operations in MPI and AI frameworks. The switch also includes advanced congestion control and enhanced QoS to guarantee performance for mission-critical workloads.
With support for multiple topologies — including Fat Tree, SlimFly, DragonFly+, and multi-dimensional Torus — the MQM9790-NS2F enables architects to build cost-effective, highly resilient networks for next-gen supercomputing.
Fully interoperable with NVIDIA InfiniBand ecosystem: ConnectX-6/7 adapters, LinkX cables, and Quantum-2 series switches. Backwards compatible with HDR, EDR, and FDR devices. Supports major Linux distributions (RHEL, Ubuntu, Rocky Linux) and Windows Server with appropriate drivers. The unmanaged operation requires an external Subnet Manager (e.g., NVIDIA UFM or OpenSM running on a server).

Hong Kong Starsurge Group provides end-to-end support including pre-sales consulting, integration services, and global logistics. Our technical team offers deployment assistance, RMA services, and extended warranty options. For volume orders, we deliver customized cabling and configuration validation. Multilingual support available for APAC, EMEA, and Americas regions.
MQM9790-NS2F is an unmanaged switch (no onboard Subnet Manager), requiring an external SM such as UFM or OpenSM. MQM9700 series includes an onboard SM for up to 2,000 nodes out-of-box. Hardware performance and port specifications are identical.
Yes, NVIDIA port-split technology allows each 400Gb/s port to operate as two 200Gb/s ports, effectively delivering up to 128 ports of 200Gb/s.
OSFP connectors: passive/active copper cables, active fiber cables, and optical modules. For 400G NDR, use NVIDIA LinkX cables or equivalents.
Yes, the Quantum-2 series supports HDR, EDR, and FDR speeds with appropriate cables and adapters, ensuring smooth migration.
