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.
The Cisco UCS 6200 Series supports an expansion module that can be used to increase the number of 10 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and Fibre Channel ports (Figure 5). This unified port module provides up to 16 ports that can be configured for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE, and 1/2/4/8-Gbps native Fibre Channel using the SFP or SFP+3 interface for transparent connectivity with existing Fibre Channel networks.
