Cisco Nexus 56128P 2RU Chassis 48x10G SFP, 4x40G QSFP | Data Center Switch — CON-L1NBD-ASR100

Consolidate east-west traffic and uplink capacity in a compact 2RU chassis built for dense data center environments. With 48 x 10G SFP ports and 4 x 40G QSFP interfaces, this Cisco Nexus platform is suited to aggregation, leaf, and high-throughput access designs where port density and uplink headroom matter. The chassis format gives infrastructure teams flexibility to align switching capacity with evolving server and storage demands while preserving rack space. The mix of 10G SFP and 40G QSFP connectivity supports clean fiber deployment and straightforward migration paths for environments standardizing on high-speed Ethernet. For teams comparing against lower-density switches, this model stands out when port count, uplink bandwidth, and chassis-based deployment are part of the requirement. It is a strong fit for environments that need to keep latency-sensitive workloads connected while maintaining a tidy, serviceable rack layout. Use it where predictable switching architecture, high port density, and data center-grade connectivity are more important than entry-level cost. It is built for organizations that value capacity planning, operational consistency, and a platform that can anchor critical network segments. Ideal For Data center aggregation for server access layers High-density fiber switching in enterprise racks Uplink consolidation for storage and virtualization networks Leaf or aggregation deployment in a multi-tier fabric Why This Product 1 Higher port density than compact access switches 2 40G QSFP uplinks support stronger aggregation paths 3 2RU chassis preserves rack space in dense environments 4 Better fit for fiber-based data center designs than copper-first models
