Cisco Nexus 5672UP 1RU 32x10G SFP 6x40G QSFP | Data Center Switch — CON-L1NBD-N2KC2348

Move high-volume traffic through a compact switching platform built for dense data center environments. The Cisco Nexus 5672UP combines 32 x 10G SFP ports, 16 pxUP SFP ports, and 6 x 40G QSFP uplinks in a 1RU chassis, giving infrastructure teams a practical mix of server-facing access and higher-speed aggregation. That port profile makes the switch a strong fit for leaf-spine topologies, storage networks, and rack-scale deployments where port density matters as much as uplink capacity. The 10G SFP access layer supports modern server connectivity, while the 40G QSFP uplinks help preserve headroom as traffic patterns JTFft toward east-west workloads and virtualization-heavy environments. For teams standardizing on Cisco Nexus switching, this model offers a familiar operational model and a port layout that supports phased migration rather than disruptive forklift refreshes. It is a sensible choice when the goal is to increase fabric density, simplify cabling, and keep critical workloads connected without overbuying chassis capacity. Ideal For Leaf-spine access switching for virtualized data center racks Server aggregation in high-density enterprise compute clusters Storage and east-west traffic handling in modern fabric designs Network refresh projects that need mixed 10G and 40G connectivity Why This Product 1 More uplink headroom than access-only 10G switches 2 Denser port mix than basic top-of-rack models 3 Better fit for fabric growth than fixed low-speed switches 4 Cisco Nexus platform for enterprise data center operations
