Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 10G-T, 6x 100G QSFP28 | Data Center Switch — CON-L14HR-FPR2130K

Support dense server access and high-speed uplinks in a single switching platform designed for modern data center fabrics. The Cisco Nexus 9300 with 48 x 10G-T ports and 6 x 100G QSFP28 ports gives you a practical mix for copper-connected servers, top-of-rack aggregation, and upstream connectivity into higher-speed spine or core layers. This configuration is well suited for environments where 10GBASE-T simplifies server connectivity while 100G uplinks preserve headroom for east-west traffic and growth. It helps reduce port sprawl, keeps cabling straightforward, and supports the kind of throughput planning that matters when you are standardizing racks across multiple application tiers. For teams comparing lower-cost switches, the value here is in port density, uplink speed, and the Cisco Nexus platform fit for data center operations. It is a strong choice when you need a switch that can anchor a rack, absorb traffic growth, and maintain a clean migration path as bandwidth demands increase.
