Cisco NEXUS 9300 Series 36P 40/100G QSFP28 | Enterprise, Data Center — CON-L14OS-SENOD2EG

Support dense, high-throughput data center environments with the Cisco Nexus 9300 Series 36-port 40/100G QSFP28 platform. Built for modern leaf-and-spine architectures, it gives infrastructure teams the port density needed to aggregate traffic efficiently while preserving the latency profile required by virtualization, storage, and clustered applications. This class of switch is typically selected when 10G and 25G uplinks are no longer enough and the network must absorb sustained east-west traffic without forcing a redesign. The 36 x QSFP28 port layout provides room for high-speed uplinks and fabric expansion, helping teams keep rack space, cabling, and operational complexity under control. For organizations planning around long refresh cycles, the Nexus 9300 family offers the stability and scale expected in enterprise data centers. It fits environments where network architecture must support growth, segmentation, and consistent performance across critical workloads. The result is a switching platform that earns its place in core infrastructure rather than simply filling a port count requirement. Ideal For Leaf-and-spine data center fabric aggregation High-speed uplinks for virtualization clusters Core switching for storage-heavy workloads Network expansion in standardized Cisco environments Why This Product 1 Higher port density than smaller aggregation switches 2 Better suited to 40/100G fabric growth than access-layer gear 3 Designed for data center traffic patterns, not office LAN use 4 Support coverage adds procurement confidence for enterprise deployments
