About the Cisco Nexus 9508 Modular Chassis Switch

The Cisco Nexus 9508 Modular Chassis Switch (part number N9K-C9508) is an 11U modular chassis that accepts fabric and line cards. It provides 8 line card slots and 3 fabric card slots. With mixed line cards it supports up to 576 ports at speeds of 10G, 25G, 40G, 100G and 400G, and a system throughput of 51.2 Tbps.

The chassis is fitted with redundant 4x AC power supplies (N9K-PAC-12.9KW) and modular redundant fans. Management is through Cisco NX-OS, NX-API and the CLI.

The Nexus 9508 is intended for hyperscale environments, enterprise data center core deployments and 400G backbone networks. Its modular design lets the line card configuration be matched to the port speeds and densities each installation requires.
