Switch Specs Model: Cisco UCS 6248UP Ports: 32 fixed ports, up to 48 with 1 expansion module Port Type: Unified ports (support 1/10GbE, FCoE, and Fibre Channel) Form Factor: 1RU ra ck-mount Throughput: 960 Gbps Expansion Slots: 1 slot for optional 16-port unified expansion module Management: Cisco UCS Manager (clustered configuration) Latency: ~3.2 microseconds (cut-through architecture) Redundancy: 1+1 hot-swappable fan modules and PSUs Power Supply: Dual redundant, hot-swappable Supported Protocols: Ethernet, FCoE, Fibre Channel (1/2/4/8 Gbps) Part Number: UCS-FI-6248UP 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 Expansion Module Option for Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects 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. Adds 16 unified ports for up to 48 total on 6248UP Supports 1/10GbE, Fibre Channel, or FCoE per port Hot-swappable for live expansion and maintenance Delivers full 10 Gbps line-rate performance Scales I/O for growing UCS domains and workloads Ask about our Customizable UCS Server Solutions!
