Cisco Nexus 9300 Series 36-Port 40/100G QSFP28 | Enterprise Switch — CON-ETSOP-UCSXU41C

Protect the switching layer that carries your most critical workloads. Cisco Nexus 9300 Series platforms are built for dense 40/100G fabrics where port capacity, operational consistency, and lifecycle support matter. This 36-port QSFP28 configuration fits modern data center designs that need high-speed aggregation without sacrificing rack efficiency or upgrade planning. For infrastructure teams, the value is in keeping the fabric stable as traffic grows. A 40/100G port profile gives you room to scale leaf-spine architectures, consolidate uplinks, and maintain headroom for east-west traffic patterns that punish undersized switching. Cisco’s Nexus 9300 family is a familiar choice in enterprise environments because it aligns with established operational models and long-term network planning. This item is best suited to organizations that want to preserve investment in a proven switching platform rather than chase lower-cost alternatives that may not match the same deployment confidence, support expectations, or ecosystem fit.
