Cisco Nexus 9300 48P 1/10/25G, 6P 40/100G Switch — SP-SW-N9KC93X3

Drive high-density leaf-spine connectivity with 48 ports of 1/10/25G and 6 ports of 40/100G in a Cisco Nexus 9300 platform. Built for data center fabrics that need fast east-west traffic handling, predictable scaling, and a clean migration path from 10G to 25G and beyond. Connect dense server racks with 48 ports of 1/10/25G access Aggregate uplinks cleanly using 6 ports of 40/100G fabric bandwidth Support modern leaf-spine designs with high-speed Ethernet switching Reduce rack cabling complexity with mixed-speed port flexibility Plan phased migrations from 10G to 25G without redesigning the fabric Handle east-west traffic efficiently in virtualization-heavy data centers Scale bandwidth headroom for storage, compute, and clustered workloads Key Features 48 x 1/10/25G ports 6 x 40/100G uplink ports Cisco Nexus 9300 series platform Data center switching architecture High-density fixed-form-factor design Built for leaf-spine deployments Supports mixed-speed Ethernet connectivity FAQ What kind of deployment is this switch built for? It is designed for data center leaf-spine and top-of-rack deployments where high-density 1/10/25G access and 40/100G uplinks are required. Can this switch support a migration from 10G to 25G? Yes. The 1/10/25G port mix supports phased migration strategies without forcing an immediate fabric redesign. Is this a managed switch? Yes. Cisco Nexus 9300 platforms are managed switches intended for enterprise and data center operations. Why choose this model over a lower-cost access switch? Because it provides much higher port density, faster uplinks, and a fabric-ready design that better suits modern data center traffic patterns.
