Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 1/10G + 6x 40G Switch | Data Center, Layer 3 — CON-NCDTC-N9KTCFX3

Keep critical data center traffic moving with a Cisco Nexus 9300 configuration designed for high-density access and fast uplinks. With 48 x 100M/1/10G ports, it supports server connectivity at the edge of the rack, while 6 x 40G ports provide the uplink bandwidth needed for aggregation and fabric expansion. This port profile fits environments where access density and uplink headroom both matter. It helps reduce oversubscription pressure, simplifies rack-level design, and gives architects a clean path for segmented workloads, virtualization clusters, and storage-adjacent traffic. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching, the Nexus 9300 family offers the operational consistency expected in enterprise and cloud-scale networks. Choose this model when you need more than basic connectivity. The 40G uplink tier supports higher-throughput designs without forcing an immediate chassis move, while the 1/10G access layer keeps server attachment flexible across mixed-speed environments. It is a practical fit for data centers that need to preserve performance headroom as application demand grows. Ideal For Leaf switch deployment in a data center fabric Server access for virtualization clusters Aggregation for mixed 1G and 10G workloads Uplink tier for east-west traffic-heavy environments Why This Product 1 More uplink headroom than 1/10G access-only switches 2 Better fit for fabric designs than basic access switches 3 Cisco-managed platform for standardized operations 4 Balanced port mix for mixed-speed server environments
