Cisco Nexus 5672UP 1RU 32x10G SFP 6x40G QSFP | Data Center Switch — CON-L1NCD-240CM5SX

Consolidate access and uplink traffic in a compact Cisco Nexus platform built for dense data center fabrics. The Nexus 5672UP combines 32 x 10G SFP ports, 16 pxUP SFP ports, and 6 x 40G QSFP uplinks in a 1 RU chassis, giving infrastructure teams a clean path to aggregate server, storage, and leaf-spine traffic without overcommitting rack space. This configuration is well suited to environments where port density and uplink flexibility matter more than commodity switching. The mix of 10G SFP and 40G QSFP connectivity supports staged migration plans, allowing teams to preserve existing optics investments while extending fabric capacity where it is needed most. For procurement teams, that balance can reduce the need for multiple lower-density switches and simplify rack, power, and cabling planning. Cisco Nexus switching is commonly selected for environments that demand predictable behavior under load, operational consistency, and integration into established data center standards. The 5672UP fits that profile with a layout designed to keep aggregation layers compact and manageable. It is a practical choice when you need to sustain east-west traffic patterns, maintain clean uplink design, and avoid unnecessary hardware sprawl. Ideal For Leaf-spine aggregation in enterprise data centers Server access switching for 10G optical environments Uplink consolidation for storage and virtualization clusters Rack-efficient replacement for multiple lower-density switches Why This Product 1 Higher port density than basic access switches 2 More uplink flexibility than fixed 10G-only models 3 1 RU footprint reduces rack consumption 4 Mixed 10G and 40G optics support staged upgrades
