Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 1/25G SFP + 6x 100G QSFP28 | Data Center Switch — CON-SSCS-2248EFA

Move more traffic with less complexity. The Cisco Nexus 9300 with 48p 1025G SFP and 6p 100G QSFP28 gives infrastructure teams a compact switching platform for high-density access and fast uplinks in modern data center fabrics. It is designed for environments where port density, fabric consistency, and upgrade headroom matter more than adding another layer of hardware. With 48 SFP-based access ports and 6 QSFP28 uplinks, this platform fits leaf-spine designs that need clean segmentation between server connectivity and aggregation paths. That balance helps preserve bandwidth for east-west traffic while keeping the rack footprint controlled. For teams standardizing on Cisco switching, the Nexus 9300 family is a familiar choice for operational consistency across core, leaf, and aggregation roles. This model is a strong fit when you need to support mixed-speed server access, high-throughput uplinks, and a design that can absorb growth without forcing a rip-and-replace cycle. It is the kind of switch that earns its place in production by reducing bottlenecks before they become outages. Ideal For Leaf switch for enterprise data center racks Aggregation switch for 100G uplink environments Server access layer in virtualized compute clusters Fabric node for east-west traffic-heavy workloads Why This Product 1 Higher port density than smaller access switches 2 100G uplinks for aggregation-heavy fabrics 3 Better fit for leaf-spine designs than legacy top-of-rack gear 4 Cisco platform consistency for standardized operations
