The Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect is a high-performance, unified I/O platform that delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and FCoE capabilities in a single compact 1RU form factor. It features 32 fixed SFP+ ports and supports up to 48 ports via an expansion module. With line-rate throughput of 960 Gbps and integrated Cisco UCS Manager, it provides centralized management for the entire UCS domain, consolidating LAN and SAN traffic into a single, highly efficient architecture.

Ideal for Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and 5100 Series Chassis, the 6248UP serves as the backbone of a unified data center fabric. It simplifies cabling, reduces hardware requirements, and supports virtualization with Cisco VM-FEX technology. With lossless Ethernet, low latency, and high scalability, the 6248UP is purpose-built for data centers requiring powerful, converged networking across compute and storage infrastructure.


What the Cisco UCS 6248UP Does:
  • Consolidates LAN and SAN into a unified fabric
  • Supports Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and FCoE through unified ports
  • Provides centralized management via UCS Manager
  • Supports virtualization with Cisco VM-FEX technology
  • Enables up to 960 Gbps throughput with low latency switching
What It Was Made For:
  • Unified connectivity for UCS B-Series Blade Servers
  • Data centers needing convergence of network and storage
  • Scalable enterprise compute infrastructure with up to 20 chassis
  • Reducing TCO via I/O consolidation and simplified cabling
  • High-performance environments requiring low-latency, lossless networking
