Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 10/25G SFP + 12x 100G QSFP28 | Data Center Switch — CON-C1NBD-N93YCFX2

Keep east-west traffic moving with a switch built for dense aggregation and high-speed uplinks. The Cisco Nexus 9300 with 48 x 10/25G SFP ports and 12 x 100G QSFP28 ports is designed for modern data center fabrics where port density, uplink capacity, and consistent forwarding matter more than marketing claims. This platform fits leaf-spine designs that need to connect servers, storage, and adjacent switches without creating oversubscription bottlenecks. The 48 SFP ports support high-density access connectivity, while the 12 QSFP28 ports provide the bandwidth needed for spine connections, aggregation, or high-capacity interconnects. That mix gives infrastructure teams flexibility to design for current workloads and future expansion. For environments where downtime is expensive, the value is in the architecture: fewer choke points, cleaner cabling, and a switch class that belongs in enterprise and cloud-scale networks. It is a strong fit when you need to justify a premium access or aggregation layer with real port economics and uplink headroom, not just a lower entry price. Ideal For Leaf-spine data center fabric deployment Top-of-rack server aggregation High-bandwidth storage network connectivity Aggregation layer for enterprise data centers Why This Product 1 Higher uplink density than standard access switches 2 Built for leaf-spine fabrics rather than basic edge switching 3 Combines 10/25G access with 100G uplinks in one platform 4 Better fit for dense data center aggregation than low-port-count alternatives
