Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 10GBASE-T, 6x 100G QSFP28 | Enterprise Switch — CON-L14HR-C1N9KCEX

Build a cleaner data center edge with a switch platform that pairs high-density copper access with 100G uplink capacity. The Cisco Nexus 9300 configuration with 48 10G BASE-T ports and 6 100G QSFP28 ports is built for environments that need predictable server connectivity, fast aggregation, and room to scale fabric bandwidth without redesigning the access layer. This port combination fits modern rack designs where copper server links remain common, but uplink pressure keeps rising. The 10G BASE-T ports simplify attachment for existing infrastructure, while the 100G QSFP28 ports provide the headroom needed for spine connections, storage traffic, or high-volume east-west flows. For teams standardizing on Cisco data center switching, this model supports a disciplined architecture with fewer bottlenecks at the edge. Choose this class of switch when port density, uplink speed, and operational consistency matter more than low-cost commodity hardware. It is a strong fit for enterprise data centers that need to protect application performance, preserve migration flexibility, and avoid repeated refresh cycles caused by undersized switching capacity. Ideal For Top-of-rack switching for enterprise server racks Aggregation for leaf-spine data center fabrics High-density copper access in mixed infrastructure environments Uplink consolidation for storage and east-west traffic Why This Product 1 Higher access density than smaller 10G switches 2 100G uplinks reduce oversubscription pressure 3 Copper server ports simplify legacy and mixed deployments 4 Cisco Nexus platform fits standardized data center operations
