N9K-C93180YC-FX3, Cisco Nexus 9300 Switch, 48xSFP28 1/10/25G/6xQSFP28 40/100G

The Cisco N9K-C93180YC-FX3 (Nexus 9300 Series) is a high-performance fixed-configuration data center switch designed for modern leaf-spine architectures. It delivers high-density 1/10/25G downlink ports and 40/100G uplink scalability, making it an ideal solution for enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, and high-performance computing environments.

Built on Cisco’s advanced cloud-scale ASIC architecture, this model provides ultra-low latency, high throughput, and flexible automation capabilities for next-generation network deployments.

• 48 x 1/10/25G SFP28 ports for high-density server connectivity
• 6 x 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports for scalable backbone architecture
• High switching capacity up to 3.6 Tbps
• Low latency performance for data-intensive applications
• Supports Cisco NX-OS and ACI modes
• Advanced telemetry, automation, and programmability
• Designed for leaf-spine data center architecture
• Energy-efficient and optimized thermal design

This switch is widely deployed in enterprise and cloud environments because it balances port density, scalability, and cost efficiency.

It is especially suitable for:

• Enterprise data centers upgrading from 10G to 25G
• Cloud service providers building leaf-spine architecture
• Virtualization and storage-heavy workloads
• High-bandwidth east-west traffic environments

• Cloud Data Centers (Private & Public Cloud)
• High-Performance Computing (HPC)
• Enterprise Core & Aggregation Layer
• AI / Big Data Infrastructure
• Virtualized Server Farms

The FX3 series improves scalability and performance compared to older Nexus 9300 models.
