Cisco Catalyst 9500 60x25G 4x400G Switch | Layer 3, Enterprise — CON-L24HR-C9396I

Move critical traffic through a platform designed for high-density enterprise switching. The Cisco Catalyst 9500 60x2550G 4x400G pairs 60 x 25G interfaces with 4 x 400G uplinks, giving infrastructure teams the bandwidth headroom needed for campus cores, aggregation layers, and high-throughput east-west traffic. This class of switch is built for environments where oversubscription becomes a bottleneck quickly. The 25G access density supports modern server, storage, and distribution designs, while the 400G uplinks provide a clear path to higher-capacity backbone connections. That combination helps reduce redesign cycles as traffic grows. For organizations standardizing on Cisco switching, the Catalyst 9500 family is a strong fit when you need more than basic connectivity. It is intended for managed enterprise networks that require Layer 3 control, predictable performance, and a platform that can anchor larger switching domains without forcing compromise at the edge. Choose this model when the network must carry more traffic, not just more ports. It is positioned for teams that value capacity planning, backbone resilience, and long-term infrastructure alignment. Ideal For Campus core switching for large enterprise networks Aggregation layer for high-density access switches Backbone uplink termination for 25G server environments Routed distribution in performance-sensitive infrastructure Why This Product 1 Higher uplink headroom than 100G-only aggregation switches 2 More access density than compact campus distribution models 3 Better suited for routed core designs than Layer 2 edge switches 4 Built for bandwidth growth without immediate platform replacement
