Cisco Part Number: HF6100-60L4D-D is a Cisco 6000 Hyperfabric switch, 60x50G SFP56 4x400G QSFP-DD, configurable hardware only
The Cisco HF6100‑60L4D‑D is a high‑performance, cloud‑managed data center switch from the Cisco 6000 Series designed to support modern, scalable network fabrics. As part of the Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric Fabric‑as‑a‑Service (FaaS) solution, this 1 Rack Unit (1RU) switch simplifies deployment and network operations with automated cloud‑managed provisioning and lifecycle management.
Key Features
- Top‑of‑Rack (ToR) switch with a versatile mix of high‑density interfaces tailored for data‑intensive environments.
- Supports a broad range of Ethernet speeds via SFP56 and QSFP‑DD ports for flexible connectivity options.
- Designed for rapid integration into Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric fabrics with zero‑touch provisioning and scalable cloud controller workflows.
- Robust hardware architecture with redundant power and cooling components for continuous uptime.
Hardware Specifications
The HF6100‑60L4D delivers enterprise‑grade performance and reliability:
Port Density & Connectivity
- 60 x 10/25/50 GbE SFP56 ports for flexible uplink/downlink connectivity.
- 4 x 40/100/200/400 GbE QSFP‑DD ports with breakout support to accommodate high‑capacity links.
- USB‑C and RJ‑45 console ports for local management, along with a dedicated RJ‑45 Ethernet management port.
Physical & Power Details
- 1RU rack‑mountable chassis with compact dimensions suited to dense data center racks.
- Dual power supply slots with 1+1 redundancy support and 6 fan slots with 5+1 cooling redundancy to maintain reliability under load.
- Typical system power consumption around 525 W at full switching capacity (excluding pluggable optics).
- Designed to operate in standard data center environments with broad temperature and humidity tolerances.
Cloud‑Managed Networking
When integrated with Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric, the HF6100‑60L4D becomes part of a broader cloud‑managed networking solution that streamlines network design, deployment, and management. Zero‑touch provisioning allows rapid onboarding into an existing fabric, and centralized lifecycle controls ensure consistent performance and security across distributed locations.
Use Cases
- Top‑of‑Rack switching in mid‑to‑large enterprise data centers.
- High‑density leaf or access layer in scalable fabric architectures.
- AI/ML, HPC, or cloud‑native application clusters demanding flexible, high‑throughput connectivity.
With its combination of high port density, flexible interface speeds, and cloud‑centric management, the HF6100‑60L4D‑D supports modern data centers requiring robust, scalable network fabrics.
