Enterprise Cisco UCS 6120XP 20-Port Fabric Interconnect Switch for Unified Computing and Data Center Networking
The Cisco N10-S6100 UCS 6120XP Fabric Interconnect is a high-performance unified fabric switch designed for Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) environments. Featuring 20 unified ports that support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), it provides a scalable, low-latency networking platform for enterprise data centers, virtualization platforms, cloud infrastructure, and converged computing environments.
As a key component of the Cisco UCS 6100 Series, the N10-S6100 consolidates LAN, SAN, and management traffic into a single unified fabric, simplifying data center architecture and reducing infrastructure complexity. Delivering up to 640 Gbps of switching capacity and 480 million packets per second (Mpps) of forwarding performance, it ensures wire-speed connectivity for demanding enterprise workloads while maintaining low network latency.
Powered by Cisco NX-OS and integrated with Cisco UCS Manager, the Cisco UCS 6120XP enables centralized management of servers, networking, storage connectivity, and service profiles. This unified management approach streamlines provisioning, accelerates deployment, and simplifies ongoing administration across Cisco UCS environments.
The switch supports advanced data center technologies including Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), native Fibre Channel, Virtual PortChannel (vPC), VLANs, VSANs, jumbo frames, hardware-based Quality of Service (QoS), and role-based access control (RBAC), providing the flexibility and security required for modern converged infrastructures.
Designed for continuous operation, the Cisco N10-S6100 supports Active/Active Fabric Interconnect deployments, allowing redundant configurations that enhance availability and eliminate single points of failure. The system includes one installed AC power supply and supports dual hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules, ensuring maximum uptime for mission-critical applications.
Its 1U rack-mountable form factor maximizes rack space efficiency while delivering high-performance unified connectivity for Cisco UCS servers and I/O modules. The platform is engineered to support scalable enterprise growth with reliable, centralized infrastructure management.
Ideal for Cisco UCS deployments, enterprise data centers, server virtualization, cloud computing, unified fabric infrastructure, storage networking, and enterprise server connectivity, the Cisco N10-S6100 UCS 6120XP Fabric Interconnect Switch delivers enterprise-grade performance, simplified management, and scalable unified networking for modern data center environments.
