Cisco Nexus 5548 UP Chassis 32 10GbE Ports | Data Center Switch — CON-L14HR-FLSASR11

Build a stable data center switching foundation with the Cisco Nexus 5548 UP chassis configured for 32 10GbE ports, 2 power supplies, and 2 fans. This platform is designed for environments where port density, power resilience, and cooling redundancy matter as much as throughput. For infrastructure teams consolidating server access or extending a fabric architecture, the 5548 UP chassis offers a practical balance of capacity and operational discipline. Dual power supplies and dual fans support continuity in rack deployments where downtime is expensive and maintenance windows are limited. The 32 10GbE port configuration gives architects room to attach high-speed servers and upstream links without immediately forcing a chassis refresh. This is the kind of platform chosen when the network must stay predictable under load. It fits data center teams that value a known switching footprint, straightforward expansion planning, and hardware redundancy built into the base configuration. For buyers comparing chassis options, the combination of 10GbE density and redundant components helps justify the investment in environments that cannot afford compromise. Ideal For Aggregating 10GbE server connections in a data center rack Deploying a redundant access layer for virtualized workloads Standardizing switching for blade or rack server environments Replacing aging chassis hardware in a controlled refresh cycle Why This Product 1 Offers 32 10GbE ports for denser server connectivity 2 Includes 2 power supplies for better resilience than single-PS designs 3 Includes 2 fans for cooling redundancy in rack deployments 4 Targets data center chassis use rather than access-layer switching
