Cisco Nexus 9300 48x25G 6x100G MACsec | Data Center Switch — CON-L1NCO-N93YCFX

Build a faster, more secure data center fabric with the Cisco Nexus 9300 configured for 48 x 25 Gigabit Ethernet ports and 6 x 100 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. This port mix is designed for leaf and aggregation layers that need to absorb server growth without sacrificing uplink headroom. MACsec support adds link-layer protection for traffic that must stay encrypted across trusted infrastructure segments. The value of this configuration is in the balance between access density and uplink capacity. Forty-eight 25G ports support modern server connectivity, while six 100G ports give the fabric room to move traffic upstream without creating a bottleneck. That makes it a strong fit for environments where east-west traffic is heavy and design margins matter. For teams standardizing on Cisco Nexus, this switch fits the operational model of high-performance data center networking: dense, fast, and built for controlled scale. It is the kind of platform you choose when the network is no longer a support function, but a direct requirement for application performance and security posture.
