Cisco Nexus 5672UP 1RU 32x10G SFP 6x40G QSFP | Data Center Switch — CON-PSUP-EDUC9849

Drive dense east-west and uplink traffic from a single rack unit with the Cisco Nexus 5672UP. This platform combines 32 x 10G SFP ports, 16 x UP SFP ports, and 6 x 40G QSFP ports to support aggregation, leaf, and high-throughput server connectivity in space-constrained data center designs. The value of this class of switch is not just port count. It is the ability to reduce rack footprint while preserving the bandwidth headroom needed for modern virtualization clusters, storage traffic, and spine-facing uplinks. For architects balancing port density, cable management, and growth planning, a 1RU design with mixed-speed interfaces can simplify deployment without forcing compromises on connectivity. Cisco Nexus platforms are commonly selected where operational consistency matters and network design must support demanding workloads with fewer chassis units. This configuration is well suited to teams standardizing on 10G server access while reserving 40G uplinks for aggregation or fabric expansion. It offers the density and interface mix needed to support serious data center traffic patterns without consuming unnecessary rack space. Ideal For Leaf switching for virtualized server clusters Aggregation of 10G server links with 40G uplinks Compact data center deployments with limited rack space Mixed-speed fabric designs requiring dense SFP and QSFP connectivity Why This Product 1 Higher port density than typical access switches 2 Mixed 10G and 40G connectivity in one 1RU chassis 3 Better fit for data center aggregation than campus switching 4 Compact footprint for rack-constrained environments
