Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP 1G/10G/40G Leaf with 48x RJ45 Ports

The Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP is a hybrid leaf switch engineered for heterogeneous data center environments where legacy 1G copper infrastructure coexists with modern 10G/40G optics. This fixed-configuration platform provides 48 × 1GbE RJ45 ports for server connectivity, supplemented by 4 × 10GbE SFP+ and 2 × 40GbE QSFP+ uplink ports, delivering flexible multi-speed fabric integration in a 1RU form factor.

Built on the Cisco NX-OS operating system, the 9348GC-FXP supports industry-standard switching protocols, VLANs, and access control lists. The architecture accommodates mixed-speed deployments without requiring wholesale infrastructure replacement, making it suitable for phased modernization strategies in enterprise data centers.

The platform is optimized for server-access leaf roles in spine-leaf topologies, particularly in environments maintaining heterogeneous endpoint speeds. Non-blocking forwarding fabric and low-latency switching characteristics support both traditional East-West traffic patterns and emerging workload requirements.

Ideal for

• Legacy 1GbE server access consolidated with 10GbE/40GbE fabric uplinks in multi-generation data center refresh cycles
• Mixed virtualization platforms combining older generation servers (1GbE NICs) with newer compute infrastructure requiring higher bandwidth
• Enterprise cloud infrastructure where tenant workloads span heterogeneous server generations with varying network capabilities
• Hybrid on-premises and edge deployments requiring flexible port density and speed combinations without full infrastructure replacement
• High-density server-access switching for medium-scale leaf nodes in campus data center fabrics with incremental 40GbE spine growth
• Development and test environments supporting diverse hardware platforms and network performance requirements
