Description

The N9K-C93180YC–FX is another robust offering from Cisco’s Nexus 9300 series, tailored for high-performance data centres and cloud environments.

It features 48 x 1/10/25G Ethernet ports, offering flexibility with speeds ranging from 1Gbps to 25Gbps, and 6 x 40/100G QSFP28 optical ports for extremely high-speed uplinks. The support for MACsec (Media Access Control Security) makes this switch a great choice for customers looking for enhanced data security across the network, as it provides encryption at the Ethernet layer.

This model is ideal for environments that require a mix of 1G, 10G, and 25G connectivity, while also providing the scalability and performance needed for modern cloud and virtualization workloads. Whether used as a leaf switch or part of a data centre spine-leaf architecture, the N9K-C93180YC-FX ensures high availability, low latency, and efficient network management. The ability to mix different speeds with high-bandwidth 40/100G QSFP28 ports makes it a versatile option for expanding and securing large, complex data centre networks.
