Product Overview
The Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnect is an enterprise-class 1U rack-mountable switch featuring 54 managed ports that support advanced high-speed networking including 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel. Designed for mission-critical computing environments, it delivers a switching capacity of 3.82 Tbps and facilitates bandwidth performance of 320 Gbps. Equipped with 64 GB RAM and UCS Manager v4.0 software, it ensures fully integrated fabric management across UCS deployments.
Hardware features include front-to-back airflow design, hot-pluggable internal power supplies with 1+1 redundancy, and support for jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes. Its port configurations include 36 x SFP28 10/25Gb, 6 x QSFP28 40/100Gb uplinks, and unified ports for Ethernet or Fibre Channel flexibility. Standards compliance includes IEEE 802.3by, 802.1Qaz, and RoHS, among others, making it suitable for global deployment. The unit is backed by a three-year limited warranty with next-business-day replacement.
Powerful in handling Layer 2 forwarding (up to 4.2 billion packets per second), this interconnect is ideal for scalable server and storage solutions. It also offers advanced functionality like DCBX support, FCoE, Rapid PVST+, and LACP. The UCS 6454 is intended to be used as part of a larger system and is not offered for standalone sale.
