Cisco Nexus 9300 Series 36P 40/100G QSFP28 | Data Center, Enterprise — CON-SSSNC-N9KTCFX3

Build dense, high-speed connectivity into the fabric layer with a platform designed for modern data-center growth. The Cisco Nexus 9300 Series, 36P 40/100G QSFP28 is positioned for environments that need concentrated 40/100G connectivity without wasting rack space on oversized port counts or underused hardware. For infrastructure teams, the value is in port density and speed where both matter. A 36-port QSFP28 design supports aggregation, spine-leaf architectures, and high-bandwidth uplinks with fewer chassis or fewer layers of complexity than lower-capacity alternatives. That makes it easier to align network design with application demand, storage traffic, and east-west movement across the fabric. This is the kind of platform you choose when the network is no longer the place to economize. It is built for teams that need to keep pace with virtualization, clustered workloads, and rapid growth while maintaining a clean upgrade path. The result is a more efficient fabric with room to scale, without forcing a redesign at every capacity step. Ideal For Deploy as a high-speed fabric node in a spine-leaf data-center design Aggregate server and storage traffic in dense virtualization environments Provide 40/100G uplinks for core-to-fabric connectivity Support expansion where port density and throughput are both critical Why This Product 1 Higher port density than smaller aggregation platforms 2 Better fit for fabric growth than access-layer switches 3 Supports 40/100G uplinks for modern data-center traffic 4 Designed for spine-leaf scale rather than branch networking
