Description
The Cisco Nexus N9K-C93240YC-FX2 switch is a high-density data center and enterprise aggregation platform engineered for environments that demand exceptional fiber speed, ultra-low latency, and large-scale switching flexibility. It features 48 x 1/10/25 Gigabit SFP28 ports along with 12 x 40/100 Gigabit QSFP28 uplink ports, providing the bandwidth needed to connect servers, storage systems, and high-performance switching infrastructure across heavily virtualized or cloud-scale deployments. Cisco rates the 93240YC-FX2 at up to 4.8 Tbps of switching capacity in a compact fixed-form design, purpose-built for wire-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding.
With the Cisco Nexus LAN Enterprise license, this model enables advanced Layer 3 routing, VXLAN/EVPN fabric services, expanded automation, and enhanced telemetry for deeper visibility across modern data center traffic flows. The FX2 generation is also widely viewed by enterprise engineers as one of Cisco’s most scalable fixed Nexus platforms because of its larger 100G uplink count, stronger breakout flexibility, and proven suitability in production vPC and spine/leaf environments—making it an outstanding choice for organizations building resilient, high-bandwidth switching infrastructure designed for long-term expansion.
