Cisco Nexus N9K-C93180YC-FX3 48-Port 10/25G Data Center Switch

Brand:

The Cisco Nexus N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is a 1RU fixed-port data centre switch designed for high-density server connectivity, leaf-spine architectures and enterprise network infrastructure. It features 48 SFP28 downlink ports supporting 1, 10 and 25 Gigabit Ethernet, together with six QSFP28 ports supporting 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet. With 3.6 Tbps switching bandwidth and a forwarding rate of 1.2 billion packets per second, it supports high-capacity network traffic across compatible data centre deployments. The platform supports Cisco NX-OS and Cisco ACI operating modes, along with automation and telemetry capabilities for network operations. It is suitable for organisations planning 10/25GbE server access and higher-speed aggregation within a compact rack footprint.

OVERVIEW

  • The Cisco Nexus N9K-C93180YC-FX3 belongs to the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series and is designed for modern data centre networking. Its combination of SFP28 downlink ports and QSFP28 uplinks supports flexible connectivity for servers, storage systems and network infrastructure.

  • The 48 SFP28 ports support 1GbE, 10GbE and 25GbE connections, while the six QSFP28 ports support 40GbE and 100GbE connectivity, subject to compatible optics, cables and port configurations. This layout makes the switch suitable for leaf-layer deployments, server aggregation and high-bandwidth uplinks in spine-leaf networks.
  • The switch supports Cisco NX-OS and Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) deployment models.
