The Cisco UCS 6200 Series offers line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects provide the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS B- Series and C- Series servers.

4 All servers attached to the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects become part of a single, highly available management domain. In addition, by supporting unified Fabric , the Cisco UCS 6200 Series provides both the LAN and SAN connectivity for all blades within its a networking perspective, the Cisco UCS 6200 Series uses a cut-through architecture, supporting deterministic, low-latency, line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all ports, switching capacity of 2 terabits (Tb), and 320-Gbps bandwidth per chassis, independent of packet size and enabled services. The product family supports Cisco low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network Fabric capabilities, which increase the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of Ethernet networks.

5 The Fabric Interconnect supports multiple traffic classes over a lossless Ethernet Fabric from the blade through the UCS 6248UP 48-Port Fabric InterconnectThe Cisco UCS 6248UP 48-Port Fabric Interconnect (Figure 3) is a one-rack-unit (1RU) 10-Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE and Fiber Channel switch offering up to 960-Gbps throughput and up to 48 ports. The switch has 32 1/10-Gbps fixed Ethernet, FCoE, and FC ports and one expansion slot.
