This is a genuine Cisco UCS 6454 54-Port Fabric Interconnect (FI) (P/N: UCS-FI-6454). As a critical component of the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), this 1RU switch is designed for high-performance, unified fabric deployments in data center, enterprise, and cloud environments. It delivers up to 3.82 Tbps throughput and a highly flexible port configuration to handle diverse workloads. The UCS 6454 features 28x 10/25Gbps Ethernet ports, 4x 1/10/25Gbps Ethernet ports, 6x 40/100Gbps Ethernet uplink ports, and 16 unified ports that can support either 10/25Gbps Ethernet or 8/16/32Gbps Fibre Channel. All Ethernet ports are capable of supporting FCoE. Crucially, this unit is equipped with Back-to-Front (Power-to-Port) Airflow and includes Dual Power Supply Units (PSUs), ensuring efficient cooling for specific data center designs and providing power redundancy for high availability.

Key Features

• Unified Fabric Architecture: Core component of Cisco UCS, providing both Ethernet/IP and Fibre Channel connectivity over a single, unified fabric.

• 54-Port High-Density Design:

  • 28x 10/25Gbps Ethernet ports

  • 4x 1/10/25Gbps Ethernet ports (flexible speed downlinks)

  • 6x 40/100Gbps Ethernet uplink ports

  • 16x Unified Ports (can operate as 10/25Gbps Ethernet or 8/16/32Gbps Fibre Channel)

• High Throughput: Delivers up to 3.82 Tbps switching capacity, supporting demanding data center workloads.

• Back-to-Front (Power-to-Port) Airflow: Specifically designed to draw cool air from the power supply side (rear) and exhaust warm air out the port side (front). This is crucial for matching specific data center cooling architectures.

• Dual Power Supply Units (PSUs): Provides power redundancy for continuous operation and enhanced reliability.

• FCoE Support: All Ethernet ports are capable of Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), allowing for converged LAN and SAN traffic.

• Centralized Management: Integrates seamlessly with Cisco UCS Manager for unified, policy-based management of servers, networking, and storage access.

• Low Latency: Optimized for high-performance and low-latency data transmission.

• 1RU Compact Form Factor: Efficiently fits into standard data center racks.
