Cisco 6332-16UP is a 1U device with a maximum of 40 fixed ports with 2.46 Tbps throughput. 24 ports support 40 Gig Ethernet/FCoE, and the remaining 16 support 1/10 Gig Ethernet/FCoE or 1/4/8/16 Gig Fibre Channel. The model can provide native Fibre Channel support to the FC infrastructure. Like the previous model, this model's fixed ports can be configured as 10 Gig with breakout cables to connect with a 10 Gig infrastructure, but the last six 40 Gig ports at the Fabric Interconnect do not support breaking out and can be used only as 40 Gig network uplink ports.
