Cisco Nexus 9300 48x 10G SFP+ 6x 100G QSFP28 | Data Center Switch — CON-SSSW-93180YCX

Support modern data center traffic patterns with a switch built for density, speed, and fabric consistency. Cisco Nexus 9300 with 48 x 10G SFP+ and 6 x 100G QSFP28 ports is designed for environments where server access, uplink bandwidth, and predictable latency all affect application performance. The 48 SFP+ ports provide a strong aggregation point for server racks, storage networks, and top-of-rack connectivity. The 6 QSFP28 uplinks give architects the bandwidth needed to connect into spine layers or higher-speed fabric segments without immediately forcing a chassis refresh. That port mix makes the platform useful in leaf-spine designs where oversubscription and uplink planning matter. Nexus 9300 switches are commonly selected when teams need operational consistency across large-scale fabrics and want hardware that can keep pace with virtualization, container platforms, and storage-heavy workloads. This model is especially compelling when the network must support growth without sacrificing port density or uplink headroom. For organizations standardizing on Cisco in the data center, it offers the right balance of scale, speed, and deployment flexibility. Ideal For Top-of-rack switching for virtualized server clusters Leaf-layer aggregation in a spine-leaf data center fabric High-bandwidth uplinks for storage and east-west traffic Rack-level connectivity for compute-heavy enterprise workloads Why This Product 1 Higher port density than entry-level data center switches 2 Faster uplinks than 10G-only aggregation platforms 3 Better fit for leaf-spine fabrics than access switches 4 More scale headroom for virtualization and storage traffic
