Description
The Cisco M9XT-FC1632= is a 32-Gbps Fibre Channel 16-port expansion module designed for the Cisco MDS 9132T Fibre Channel switch. This field-installable module enables seamless, pay-as-you-grow scalability by activating up to sixteen additional Fibre Channel ports, allowing data center operators to expand SAN connectivity without replacing the base switch.
Supporting auto-negotiating 4/8/16/32-Gbps speeds, the module delivers non-blocking, low-latency performance suitable for mission-critical storage workloads, flash arrays, and NVMe over Fibre Channel deployments. Its hot-swappable design ensures expansion can be completed with minimal disruption, maintaining high availability and operational continuity.
Ideal for enterprise and cloud data center environments, the M9XT-FC1632= provides a cost-effective path to higher port density while preserving investment protection and performance consistency across the SAN fabric.
