second (16Gb/s) Fibre Channel (FC) performance. The DS-6500B
switches scale from twelve to ninety-six ports.
There are three switch models in the DS-6500B series. All models can function at 2, 4, 8 or 16 Gb/s speeds depending
on the installed optic. All switches can be managed by Connectrix Manager Converged Network Edition (CMCNE).
DS-6505B
simplicity, and enterprise-class functionality in an entry-level switch. Designed to enable maximum flexibility and
reliability, the Connectrix DS-6505B is configurable in 12 or 24 ports in an efficiently designed 1U package. It comes
standard with a single power supply with integrated fans. A second, optional power supply provides additional
redundancy for increased resiliency
DS-6510B
6510B can scale from 24 to 36 or 48 ports. The model has two hot-swappable, redundant integrated power supplies
and fan FRUs. There are two options for these PS/FAN FRU’s; one for front-to-back airflow and the other for back-tofront airflow. The DS-6510B features 10Gb FC SFPs that will allow for easy integration with 10GB DWDM devices. The
DS-6510B can also provide in flight compression and encryption for ISL connections.
DS-6520B
demands of growing, dynamic workloads and all flash storage environments. The DS- 6520B is configurable in 48, 72,
and 96 ports in an efficient 2U form factor. Simplified deployment and a point-and-click user interface make the DS6520B both powerful and easy to use. The DS-6520B can also provide in flight compression and encryption for ISL
connections.

Optional Licence Key Features
The Dell EMC Connectrix B-Series optional software license key features provide the flexibility to choose just the
features you need for your environment.
• Fabric Vision – provides advance monitoring, management and diagnostics.
• Extended Fabric – provides greater than 10 kilometers of switched fabric connectivity at full bandwidth over
long distances depending on the platform this can be up to 3000 kilometers.
• ISL Trunking –provides the ability to aggregate multiple physical links to one logical link for enhanced
network performance and fault tolerance.
• Enterprise Package –The Enterprise package includes Fabric Vision, Extended Fabric and ISL Trunking.
Note: For the DS-6500B product family there are “-EP” or “Enterprise Package” switch models which include the
Enterprise Package.
