Product overview
Part number DS-6505B identifies this Brocade / Broadcom (EMC-branded) brocade 6505 24-Port 16Gb fibre channel SAN Switch (EMC connectrix rebrand). A switch is rarely the whole order: optics, breakout cables, the right power orientation and a rail kit all have to arrive with it. Send the topology and we will quote the complete bill of materials.
If the part is wrong for your platform we will say so and suggest the one that is, which is cheaper for both of us than a return.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
DS-6505B is what is quoted and DS-6505B is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Quoted with the optics and rails
The switch, the transceivers at both ends and the mounting hardware go on one bill of materials, so nothing blocks the install.
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 DS-6505B genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes. It ships new in Brocade / Broadcom (EMC-branded) 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 DS-6505B 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.
