10 GE 48 ports
40 GE 6 true QSFP ports
Unified ports 16 ports (Ethernet; FCoE; 2/4/8-gigabit FC)
10 and 40 Gbps FCoE Yes
Hardware VXLAN Yes
NVGRE capable Yes

Only 16 of the ports are UP (Unified Connectivity) ports. So up to 16 possible FCoE ports.

So the 10GE 48 ports are of Ethernet...
All 72 of the ports can be 10g Ethernet.
16 of the ports are "unified ports". Another way to think of the UP ports is that they are dual personality. They can be Ethernet or they can be FCoE.

Can i use fiber cable to connect to the 48 ports of 10 GE
Yes. Any of the ports can be used for 10g connections. The media type (fiber, twinax, UTP) is dependent on the SFP+ that you install.
