Product overview
BR-6505 is a Brocade 6505 24-Port 16G entry-level FC SAN Switch. Switches are chosen on port mix and uplink capacity rather than headline throughput. This one is 24-Port. Tell us what it is aggregating and we will confirm the uplinks and optics you will also need.
Ask for the optics and rail kit on the same quote; a switch that arrives without them still cannot be racked.

Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is BR-6505 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
- Will BR-6505 work in my server?
- Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
