Interactive 3D Model: Nexus 5010 Switch

Next-generation data centers have specific server networking needs, and the Cisco Nexus 5010 one-rack unit (RU) switch provides an Ethernet-based unified fabric that's designed to meet those needs.

The Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch foundation is built upon:

  • High-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet
  • Data Center Ethernet
  • Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
  • Virtual-machine-optimized networking

A broad group of industry-leading partners supports the open, standards-based unified fabric architecture of the Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch. This switch also delivers more than 500 Gbps of switching capacity with 20 fixed wirespeed 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports that support Data Center Ethernet and FCoE. In addition, one expansion port supports one of the following modules:

  • 8-port 1/2/4 Gigabit Fibre Channel
  • 4-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (Data Center Ethernet and FCoE) and 4-port 1/2/4 Gigabit Fibre Channel
  • 6-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet (Data Center Ethernet and FCoE)
