About the Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2348TQ-10G-E Cisco Nexus datacenter switch / module
The Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2348TQ-10G-E Cisco Nexus datacenter switch / module from Cisco is enterprise-grade Network Switches hardware built for data centers. It features 10GbE interface, 10GbE speed. The Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-10G-E (N2K-C2348TQ-10G-E) is a Fabric Extender (FEX) designed to operate as a remote line card under the control of a parent Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, or 7000 series switch. Rather than functioning as a standalone switch, the N2K-C2348TQ-10G-E extends the parent switch's switching fabric to the access layer, presenting itself as a logical module of the upstream chassis. This unified management model eliminates the traditional access-tier switch configurat Available in brand new condition. Cisco network switches products are trusted by enterprises and data centers worldwide. Available from Omnixon Global. Contact our sales team to request a quote.
