About the Nexus 9300 N9K-C93240YC-FX2 48-Port Switch

Delivering 6.0 Tbps switching capacity and 2.5 Bpps forwarding rate, the Cisco Nexus 9300 N9K-C93240YC-FX2 48-Port Switch sets the standard for line-rate performance in modern data center and campus networks. This 1 RU fixed form factor appliance combines 48 × 1/10/25G SFP28 downlink ports with 12 × 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports, enabling flexible scaling for high-density workloads. Built on Cisco's Cloud Scale ASIC architecture, the platform delivers sub-microsecond latency in cut-through mode, ensuring deterministic performance for latency-sensitive applications. Network engineers and infrastructure teams benefit from IEEE 802.1AE MACsec support at line rate across all ports, coupled with IEEE 1588v2 hardware timestamping for precision timing requirements in synchronized environments.

The Nexus 9300 supports advanced overlay protocols including VXLAN bridging and routing alongside BGP EVPN, making it ideal for software-defined networking and multi-tenant architectures. Lossless Ethernet capabilities via RoCEv2, Priority Flow Control, and Explicit Congestion Notification ensure reliable delivery for demanding workloads. Dual hot-swappable redundant power supplies with both AC and DC input options provide operational flexibility, while configurable airflow paths—front-to-rear or rear-to-front—accommodate diverse data center layouts. Management interfaces span gNMI, gRPC streaming telemetry, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and NX-API, enabling seamless automation and observability. Operating modes include standalone Cisco NX-OS and Cisco ACI leaf deployment, with an operating temperature range of 0°C to 40°C. Part number CISCO-N9K-C93240YC-FX2-NEXUS-9300-48-PORT is your SKU reference for procurement.

Enterprise Deployment Scenarios

  • High-density data center leaf-spine fabrics requiring sub-microsecond latency and lossless Ethernet for RoCEv2 workloads
  • Software-defined network environments leveraging VXLAN and BGP EVPN for multi-tenant segmentation and mobility
  • Security-first deployments using IEEE 802.1AE MACsec encryption at line rate across all 60 ports
  • Time-synchronized applications benefiting from IEEE 1588v2 hardware timestamping and precision timing
  • Cisco ACI infrastructure as a leaf switch with centralized policy management and network-wide visibility
