Description

Dense 64G Fibre Channel SAN switch designed for high‑performance storage fabrics. This model provides 96 physical FC ports with 48 ports enabled, supporting line‑rate 64G as well as backward compatibility with 32G/16G/8G devices. It delivers low‑latency, non‑blocking switching with core SAN services such as VSANs, zoning, NPIV, port‑channels, and congestion detection. Flexible licensing allows additional ports to be activated as fabric growth demands.

A: Yes. Ports auto‑negotiate to 8/16/32/64G for broad interoperability.

Q: Does this switch provide Ethernet or PoE features?
A: No. It is a dedicated Fibre Channel SAN switch; PoE and Ethernet uplinks do not apply.

Q: Can I expand to all 96 active ports later?
A: Yes. Additional port licenses can be applied to activate more ports as needed.
