Cisco Nexus 56128P 2RU Chassis 48x10G SFP, 4x40G QSFP | Enterprise — CON-SSSNP-SPA4XT3E

Drive dense, low-latency switching in a compact 2RU footprint with the Cisco Nexus 56128P chassis. With 48 x 10G SFP ports and 4 x 40G QSFP uplinks, it fits high-throughput aggregation and leaf roles where port count, uplink capacity, and rack efficiency matter. This chassis is built for environments that need to scale server connectivity without consuming excess rack space. The 10G SFP access ports support high-density server and storage attachments, while the 40G QSFP uplinks provide the bandwidth needed to keep traffic flowing toward core or spine layers. That balance makes it a strong fit for data center teams standardizing on predictable, high-speed Ethernet fabrics. For organizations comparing lower-cost switches, this model stands out through its port mix and chassis class. It is aimed at deployments where oversubscription, uplink bottlenecks, and rack constraints have real operational cost. The result is a platform that supports cleaner network design, easier growth planning, and better alignment with modern virtualized workloads. Use it when you need a compact switching platform that can handle dense east-west traffic, preserve rack space, and support a more disciplined data center topology. Ideal For Deploy in data center leaf layers supporting virtualized server clusters Use in aggregation roles where 10G access and 40G uplinks are required Standardize rack-efficient switching for high-density compute environments Support east-west traffic in modern Ethernet fabrics Why This Product 1 Higher port density than entry-level access switches 2 40G uplinks reduce aggregation constraints 3 2RU chassis preserves rack space 4 Built for data center fabrics, not basic office switching
