Cisco ONE Nexus 9K Fixed 36p 100G QSFP28 | Data Center Switch — CON-SSC4P-C14331K9

Support dense data center traffic with the Cisco ONE Nexus 9K Fixed with 36p 100G QSFP28. This fixed-form-factor platform is designed for environments where high port density and 100G connectivity are central to the network architecture, including spine and aggregation layers that must move large volumes of east-west traffic with predictable performance. The 36 x 100G QSFP28 port configuration gives infrastructure teams the density needed to consolidate links and simplify fabric design. In practice, that means fewer devices to manage, cleaner cabling, and a more disciplined path to scaling bandwidth as server and storage demands increase. Cisco Nexus 9K platforms are commonly selected when the network must support modern data center operations rather than general-purpose switching. This model fits teams that value consistent hardware behavior, high-speed uplinks, and a platform family built for fabric-centric designs. It is a strong fit when the cost of congestion, oversubscription, or frequent redesign is higher than the investment in a purpose-built switch. Use it where 100G port density, fixed switching architecture, and data center-grade control need to align in one chassis. Ideal For Data center spine switching for high-bandwidth server fabrics Aggregation layer deployment for storage and compute clusters High-density 100G uplink consolidation in enterprise data centers East-west traffic switching in modern virtualized environments Why This Product 1 Provides 36 x 100G ports for far higher density than access switches 2 Targets data center fabric roles instead of branch or campus access 3 Uses fixed architecture for predictable deployment and cabling 4 Supports Layer 3 switching for routed data center designs
