Cisco UCS 64108 Fabric Interconnect - Switch - Managed - 96 X 10/25 Gigabit SFP28 + 12 X 40/100 Gigabit QSFP28 (uplink) - Front To Back Airflow - Rack-mountable - DISTI - With 36 X 10/25 Gbps and 4 X 40/100 Gbps Port Licenses - UCS-FI-64108-CH

• Two power supplies
• Allows all elements connected to the interconnects to participate in a single, highly available management domain
• Decreases TCO by reducing the number of NICs, HBAs, switches, and cables required
• Transparently encapsulates Fiber Channel packets into Ethernet
• Scales to 20 blade chassis without adding complexity
• Provides deterministic latency for optimized application performance
• Provides high-speed, low-latency connectivity to the chassis
• Provides approximately 50 percent reduction in end-to-end system latency
• Provides a reliable, robust foundation for unifying LAN and SAN traffic on a single transport
• Priority-based Flow Control (PFC)
• Systemwide bandwidth management

The Cisco UCS 64108 Fabric Interconnect (FI) is a 2-RU top-of-rack switch that mounts in a standard 19-inch rack such as the Cisco R series rack. The 64108 is a 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet, FCoE and Fiber Channel switch offering up to 7.42 Tbps throughput and up to 108 ports. The switch has 16 unified ports (port numbers 1-16) that can support 10/25-Gbps SFP28 Ethernet ports or 8/16/32-Gbps Fiber Channel ports, 72 10/25-Gbps Ethernet SFP28 ports (port numbers 17-88), 8 1/10/25-Gbps Ethernet SFP28 ports (port numbers 89-96), and 12 40/100-Gbps Ethernet QSFP28 uplink ports (port numbers 97-108). All Ethernet ports are capable of supporting FCoE.
The Cisco UCS 64108 Fabric Interconnect also has one network management port, one console port for setting the initial configuration, and one USB port for saving or loading configurations. The FI also includes L1/L2 ports for connecting two fabric interconnects for high availability.
