Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 10G/100G Switch | Data Center, Enterprise — CON-L1NCD-WS3652TL

Consolidate high-density server and fabric connections with a Cisco Nexus 9300 switch built for demanding data center roles. The 48-port design paired with 6 x 100G uplinks gives architects the port mix needed to support leaf and aggregation layers without overcommitting the design to a single speed tier. This class of switch is chosen when the network must carry more than basic access traffic. The 100G uplinks provide headroom for east-west flows, spine connectivity, and oversubscription control, while the fixed-port layout simplifies planning in standardized racks and repeatable deployment blocks. For teams operating at scale, that consistency matters: fewer design variables, cleaner cabling, and a clearer path to capacity planning. The Nexus 9300 family is commonly selected for environments where switching infrastructure must stay aligned with virtualization, storage, and application clusters. This model fits that pattern by combining dense front-panel connectivity with high-speed uplinks in a platform associated with data center fabric design. It is a strong fit when the goal is to support growth without redesigning the network every time the server footprint expands. Ideal For Leaf switch deployment in a data center rack Aggregation layer connectivity for clustered servers High-speed uplinks to spine or core fabric tiers Standardized switching blocks for virtualization environments Why This Product 1 Combines 48 fixed ports with 6 x 100G uplinks 2 Fits leaf and aggregation roles in data center fabrics 3 Offers denser uplink capacity than basic access switches 4 Supports standardized rack-scale deployment patterns
