Cisco Catalyst 9500 60x25G 4x400G Switch | Layer 3, Enterprise — CON-L2NBD-DSC9396T

Keep critical network traffic moving with the Cisco Catalyst 9500 60x2550G 4x400G. Built for enterprise campus core and aggregation roles, it pairs 60 x 25G interfaces with 4 x 400G uplinks to handle dense east-west traffic and high-speed backbone connections without forcing a redesign of the switching layer. This platform is aimed at teams that need predictable performance, strong Layer 3 control, and room to grow. The 25G access density supports modern server, storage, and distribution designs, while the 400G uplinks provide the headroom needed for spine, core, or data center edge interconnects. For infrastructure groups standardizing on Cisco, the Catalyst 9500 family brings a familiar operational model and a premium fit for environments where downtime and oversubscription are not acceptable. Choose this model when lower-tier switches no longer provide enough port density or uplink capacity. It is a serious investment for networks that carry business-critical workloads and need a switch architecture built for sustained throughput, not just basic connectivity. Ideal For Campus core switching for large enterprise networks Aggregation layer deployment for high-density access switches High-speed backbone interconnects between network tiers Distribution of 25G server and storage traffic in enterprise environments Why This Product 1 Higher uplink headroom than 10G and 100G aggregation switches 2 Better fit for routed campus cores than access-layer models 3 Dense 25G port mix supports modern server and distribution designs 4 400G uplinks reduce bottlenecks in backbone interconnects
