Cisco Nexus 9300 48 SFP + 6 QSFP28 100G | Data Center Switch — CON-PSUT-C1N9KYEX

Keep data center traffic moving with a switch built for dense fabric connectivity. The Cisco ONE Nexus 9300 with 48 SFP ports and 6 x 100G QSFP28 uplinks is designed for environments where east-west traffic, aggregation speed, and port density all matter. Its mix of 48 SFP interfaces and 6 high-speed 100G uplinks gives architects the flexibility to connect servers, leaf-spine fabrics, and aggregation layers without forcing compromises on bandwidth. This platform fits infrastructure teams that need a switch class suited to modern data center design rather than general-purpose access switching. The 100G QSFP28 uplinks provide substantial headroom for upstream paths, while the SFP port count supports dense connectivity at the edge of the rack or fabric. That makes it a strong option for organizations standardizing on high-throughput switching where latency, scale, and predictable forwarding behavior are part of the design brief. For procurement teams, the value is in buying capacity where it will be used. Compared with lower-density switches, this model is aimed at environments that need more ports, faster uplinks, and a platform aligned to enterprise data center requirements. Ideal For Leaf-spine data center fabric deployment Rack aggregation for high-density server connectivity High-speed uplink tier for storage and virtualization traffic Enterprise core or distribution switching in a data center environment Why This Product 1 Much higher uplink bandwidth than 10 GbE aggregation switches with 6 x 100G QSFP28 2 Better suited to data center fabrics than campus access switches 3 Higher port density for server connectivity with 48 SFP ports 4 Designed for modern fabric roles rather than general office switching
