Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 1G, 4x 25G, 2x 100G Switch | Data Center — CON-NCDT-354XSP3A

Keep critical workloads connected with a Cisco Nexus 9300 switch designed for high-density data center access and uplink aggregation. The 48 1G ports support server and appliance connectivity, while 4 25G ports provide faster leaf connections for modern workloads. Two 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks give you the bandwidth needed for spine connectivity, storage traffic, or aggregation layers that cannot tolerate bottlenecks. This platform suits teams standardizing on a fabric architecture where port mix matters as much as raw speed. It gives you a practical path from legacy 1G access to higher-speed east-west traffic without forcing an immediate rip-and-replace. For procurement teams, the value is clear: fewer chassis, cleaner cabling, and a switch profile that can serve mixed-speed environments with less compromise. Use it where deterministic performance, port density, and upgrade headroom matter more than commodity switching. In enterprise data centers, that means fewer oversubscribed links, simpler segmentation, and a stronger foundation for virtualization, storage, and application clusters. Ideal For Data center access switching for mixed 1G server environments Leaf layer deployment in a spine-leaf fabric Aggregation for virtualization and storage traffic Network refresh projects that require 25G and 100G uplink headroom Why This Product 1 Higher uplink headroom than 1G-only access switches 2 Better fit for mixed-speed data center fabrics 3 More scalable than fixed 1G aggregation platforms 4 Cleaner path to 25G and 100G migration
