Brand:

Cisco

The Cisco N9K-C93180-FX3-B8C is a Cisco Nexus 9300 FX3 bundle based on the Nexus 93180YC-FX3 1RU data-center switch, with 48 SFP28 ports supporting 1/10/25Gbps and 6 QSFP28 ports supporting 40/100Gbps. Cisco identifies the B8C SKU as a bundle containing two Nexus 93180YC-FX3 switches with eight 100G optics. It targets high-density leaf, spine, server-access and data-center fabric deployments requiring 25G downlinks and 100G uplinks.

View Ratings :

OVERVIEW

The N9K-C93180-FX3-B8C is a two-switch Nexus 9300 FX3 bundle for high-density data-center networking. Compatibility: Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX3 platform, supported SFP28/QSFP28 optics and NX-OS/ACI environments. Model comparison: It combines 25G server-facing density with 40/100G uplinks; BASE-T models are better when copper access is required. The B8C bundle is suited to scalable leaf/spine and fabric deployments.

USE CASES

Data-center leaf switching: Connect high-density 25G servers and storage to the fabric.
Spine-leaf architectures: Use 100G QSFP28 interfaces for high-capacity fabric links.
25G server aggregation: Consolidate multiple 10/25G server connections in a 1RU footprint.
Cloud infrastructure: Support dense east-west traffic between compute and storage resources.
Virtualized data centers: Provide high-speed connectivity for virtualization clusters.
AI and high-performance workloads: Provide 25G access with 100G uplink capacity for demanding traffic environments.
Data-center interconnect: Use supported 40/100G interfaces for high-bandwidth network connections.
Cisco ACI deployments: Deploy within supported Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure environments.
Network modernization: Move server connectivity from 10G toward 25G while retaining high-speed uplink options.

KEY FEATURES

48 × 1/10/25G SFP28 ports: Supports flexible server and storage connectivity while allowing migration from 10G to 25G.
6 × 40/100G QSFP28 ports: Provides high-bandwidth uplinks for leaf, spine and fabric connectivity.
3.6Tbps switching bandwidth: Provides substantial switching capacity for dense data-center traffic.
1.2Bpps forwarding performance: Supports high packet-processing requirements in demanding data-center networks.
1RU fixed-port architecture: Delivers high port density in a compact rack footprint, helping improve rack-space efficiency.
40/100G uplink flexibility: Lets organizations deploy 40G or 100G connectivity according to network requirements.
1/10/25G access flexibility: Protects network investment by supporting multiple Ethernet speeds on the same SFP28 ports.
NX-OS and ACI support: Enables deployment in Cisco data-center operating and fabric environments, subject to software and licensing requirements.
MACsec support: The FX3 platform provides hardware-based MACsec capabilities for supported deployment scenarios, adding link-layer security.
SyncE support: Supports synchronization requirements in applicable network deployments.
B8C bundle configuration: Cisco lists this SKU as two Nexus 93180YC-FX3 switches with eight 100G optics, making it relevant for paired or dual-switch deployments.

CUSTOMER REVIEW

"We bought the Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX3 for a data centre upgrade and needed more 25G ports for our servers. The switches arrived in good condition, and the 48 SFP28 ports with the 100G uplinks gave us enough room for the connections we were adding. So far, it has fitted into our existing Cisco setup without any issues."
