Cisco Nexus 5548 UP Chassis 32 10GbE Ports 2 PS 2 Fans | Enterprise Switch — CON-L14HR-MASRX16B

Consolidate high-speed connectivity in a chassis built for demanding data center networks. The Cisco Nexus 5548 UP chassis delivers 32 10 GbE ports, giving infrastructure teams the port density needed for aggregation, server connectivity, and east-west traffic patterns without expanding rack footprint unnecessarily. Dual power supplies and dual fans add the redundancy expected in production switching layers. That matters when the switch sits at the center of a virtualization cluster, storage network, or application tier where downtime is expensive and maintenance windows are limited. The chassis design supports a more resilient operating posture than single-PSU or single-fan alternatives. This platform is a strong fit for teams standardizing on Cisco switching and looking for a chassis that balances density, serviceability, and operational continuity. It is not about excess features; it is about the right hardware foundation for stable, high-throughput network infrastructure. Choose this model when you need a proven chassis for enterprise switching, with enough port capacity and redundancy to support critical workloads without overcomplicating the design.
