Description
The Cisco UCSC-PCIE-QD16GF= is a dual-port 16Gb Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter designed for high-performance storage connectivity in Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers. Built for enterprise SAN environments, this PCIe Gen 3 adapter delivers ultra-low latency, high IOPS throughput, and advanced hardware offloads to support demanding workloads such as virtualization, private cloud, and all-flash storage arrays.
With two independent 16Gb Fibre Channel ports, the adapter provides resilient, high-bandwidth connectivity while maintaining deterministic performance per port. It supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), enabling scalable virtualized deployments and efficient SAN utilization. Advanced diagnostics, reliability features, and streamlined management tools help reduce operational complexity while improving uptime.
Optimized for mission-critical applications, the UCSC-PCIE-QD16GF= ensures consistent performance, backward compatibility with existing Fibre Channel infrastructures, and seamless integration within Cisco UCS environments.
