Cisco Nexus 9K 48-Port 100G QSFP28 Spare CON-SSSNP-A9948X1E | Data Center — CON-SSSNP-A9948X1E

Maintain fabric capacity with a spare built for the Cisco Nexus 9K platform. This 48-port 100G QSFP28 configuration is designed for data center environments that depend on dense, high-speed switching and fast recovery when hardware needs to be replaced. For infrastructure teams, the value is operational continuity. Keeping a verified spare on hand reduces time spent sourcing replacement hardware during a failure window and helps preserve the same port profile, optics strategy, and deployment standard already in place across the environment. The 100G QSFP28 interface class is a strong fit for leaf-spine architectures, high-throughput aggregation, and workloads that move large volumes of east-west traffic. In practice, that means fewer bottlenecks and less compromise when the network is carrying virtualization, storage, and application traffic at scale. Choose this spare when the cost of delay is higher than the cost of preparedness. It is the kind of part that protects a production fabric by keeping the right hardware ready before it is needed. Ideal For Hot spare for a production Nexus 9K data center fabric Leaf-spine uplink capacity in high-throughput environments Replacement part for standardized 100G QSFP28 deployments Aggregation switch support for virtualization and storage traffic Why This Product 1 48 x 100G ports deliver far more density than access-layer switches 2 QSFP28 interface class suits modern data center fabrics 3 Spare configuration reduces downtime risk during hardware failure 4 Better fit for leaf-spine designs than campus-oriented switches
