Cisco NEXUS 9300 Series 28P 100G + 8P 400G Switch | Data Center — CON-L1NOS-N9KC936G

Move more traffic through fewer hops with Cisco Nexus 9300 Series switching designed for high-density data center fabrics. This model combines 28 x 100G ports and 8 x 400G ports to support bandwidth-heavy workloads, leaf-spine expansion, and rapid uplinks where oversubscription is not an option. For infrastructure teams, the value is in the port mix. 100G connectivity handles server and aggregation layers with room to grow, while 400G uplinks give architects a clean path for fabric expansion and core interconnects. That balance helps reduce design friction when you are standardizing on high-speed Ethernet across virtualized, storage, and AI-adjacent environments. Cisco Nexus platforms are commonly selected where operational consistency matters as much as raw throughput. This switch fits environments that need predictable performance, simplified scaling, and a network foundation that can keep pace with storage replication, cluster traffic, and application mobility. It is a strong fit when lower-capacity switching would force more devices, more cabling, and more points of failure. Choose this model when the network must support growth without compromising fabric design discipline. It is built for teams that want to preserve headroom, reduce congestion risk, and keep critical workloads moving at line-rate speeds. Ideal For Leaf and spine deployment in enterprise data centers High-bandwidth aggregation for virtualization clusters Uplink switching for storage replication environments Fabric expansion for compute-intensive workloads Why This Product 1 Higher port density than lower-speed aggregation switches 2 400G uplinks support faster fabric expansion 3 Better suited for east-west traffic than access-layer switches 4 Reduces chassis count versus modular alternatives
