Product overview
BROCADE-6505 is a Brocade 6505 24-Port 16Gbps fibre channel 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.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
BROCADE-6505 is what is quoted and BROCADE-6505 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is BROCADE-6505 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Brocade packaging, which is what keeps the warranty and the firmware entitlement valid. Anything we cannot supply that way we tell you about before you order.
- Will BROCADE-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. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

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.
