Key Features

32 Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity
128/96 port configuration
PP+ configuration designation
Provide 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel connectivity for SAN host, storage, and fabric links.
Concentrate Fibre Channel connections on a 128-port platform with a 128/96 configuration.

Provide 32 Gb Fibre Channel connectivity for dense storage-area networks with the HPE SN6650B 128/96 configuration. The platform brings a 128-port Fibre Channel switch format to SAN designs that need concentrated host, storage, and inter-switch connectivity without distributing those links across multiple smaller switches. Its 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel rate supports bandwidth-intensive block-storage traffic and high-throughput fabric paths. The 128/96 designation identifies this specific configuration within the SN6650B range. It pairs the 128-port platform with a 96-port configuration, making it relevant where the required SAN port count exceeds the capacity of lower-density fabric tiers. The PP+ designation is part of the supplied configuration name and differentiates this switch package from SN6650B configurations without that designation. HPE H55VWA4#ZJ0 fits Fibre Channel environments where switch selection depends on port-density planning, 32 Gb fabric speed, and alignment with an existing SN6650B-based SAN architecture. Specify compatible Fibre Channel optics, cable media, management requirements, and fabric software requirements separately for the intended deployment. The switch configuration is focused on Fibre Channel SAN connectivity rather than Ethernet access switching, so it should be evaluated against the storage fabric's port, speed, and interoperability requirements.

Ideal For

High-density Fibre Channel SAN cores connecting hosts, storage arrays, and inter-switch fabric links.
Storage-fabric expansions requiring 32 Gb/s connectivity and a 96-port switch configuration.
Enterprise SAN environments standardized on the SN6650B switch platform.

Why This Product

1Uses a 128-port platform for higher Fibre Channel connection density within the family.
2Specifies a 128/96 configuration rather than an unspecified port activation level.
3Operates at 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel speed.
4Includes the PP+ configuration designation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between SN6650B and H55VWA4#ZJ0?▾

SN6650B is the HPE switch model designation. H55VWA4#ZJ0 is the ordering code for a specific SN6650B configuration identified as 32 Gb, 128/96, and PP+. Use the ordering code when matching the exact requested configuration.

What Fibre Channel speed does the HPE H55VWA4#ZJ0 support?▾

This SN6650B configuration is specified for 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel. It is intended for Fibre Channel storage networks, where switch speed must align with the installed host adapters, storage ports, optics, cable media, and fabric design.

What does the 128/96 designation mean for this SN6650B configuration?▾

The 128/96 designation identifies the port configuration supplied with this SN6650B switch. It distinguishes this configuration within the 128-port SN6650B platform and should be matched to the Fibre Channel port count required by the SAN fabric.

Where does an SN6650B 32 Gb Fibre Channel switch fit in a SAN?▾

An SN6650B switch fits high-density Fibre Channel storage fabrics connecting servers, storage arrays, and inter-switch links. Its 32 Gb/s Fibre Channel capability and 128/96 configuration suit deployments where concentrated SAN connectivity is required on one switch platform.
