Cisco Nexus 9300 48-Port 10G-T, 6x100G QSFP28 | Data Center Switch — CON-L14HR-SNS3655K

Support dense server access and high-speed uplinks with the Cisco Nexus 9300 configured with 48 10G-T ports and 6 100G QSFP28 ports. This port mix is built for environments that need substantial copper connectivity at the edge of the rack, while preserving uplink bandwidth for aggregation and fabric design. For infrastructure teams, the appeal is straightforward: many 10G-T connections for servers or appliances, plus 100G uplinks to keep traffic moving without bottlenecks. That makes this platform a strong fit for leaf-spine architectures, top-of-rack deployments, and data center segments where port density and uplink headroom both matter. Compared with lower-capacity switches, this configuration gives you more room to standardize on 10G copper access while maintaining a clear path to higher-speed backbone connectivity. It is the kind of switch selection that supports growth without forcing an early redesign of the network fabric. For procurement teams, the value is in buying capacity where it will be used most: at the access layer and the uplink layer at the same time.
