The Cisco® N9300-FX3 Series Switches are the latest generation of fixed N9000 platforms, designed to support a wide range of data center network roles including leaf, Top-of-Rack (ToR), and End-of-Row (EoR) configurations. The Cisco N93320TC-FX3P is a high-performance, fixed form-factor switch designed for modern enterprise and service provider data centers. Purpose-built to meet custom requirements for customers such as FedEx, this switch delivers advanced features such as PoE++, 10G downlinks with 100G uplinks, and Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI®) integration in a compact footprint.
Key features and benefits of Cisco N93320TC-FX3P:
● PoE++ support:PoE++ support: Delivers power and data over the same cable, enabling direct support for devices including wireless access points, IP cameras, and IoT sensors.
● Flexible port configuration:Flexible port configuration: 12 x 10GBASE-T ports (any 2 PoE++ capable, any 6 PoE+ capable), plus 2 x 100G QSFP28 uplinks for high-speed backbone connectivity.
● Custom form factor:Custom form factor: Compact dimensions (3.45 x 9.16 x 13 in.) enable direct replacement of N9358GY-FXP switches without rack modifications to accommodate PoE devices of higher power requirement and network bandwidth requirements.
● ACI integration:ACI integration: Runs in ACI leaf-only mode, providing policy-based automation, microsegmentation, and telemetry as part of the Cisco Software-Defined Networking (SDN) fabric.
● Modern ASIC architecture:Modern ASIC architecture: Powered by Cisco’s latest cloud scale ASIC, enabling high performance and feature-rich telemetry.
● Advanced telemetry:Advanced telemetry: Offers streaming telemetry, microburst detection, buffer utilization, and timestamped flow data for real-time visibility.
The Cisco N93320TC-FX3P switch can be deployed as a leaf switch in the ACI fabric.
