The platform is built on modern system architecture designed to provide high performance and meet the evolving needs of highly scalable data centers and growing enterprises.
This document summarizes the current capabilities of the N9396Y(/T)12C-SE1 switches, including the current software features and hardware products.
For data center architects and enterprise network professionals requiring scalable, high-throughput switching solutions, the Cisco Nexus 9396Y(/T)12C-SE1 is a powerful, fixed-port 2RU Top-of-Rack switch built on advanced Cisco Silicon One technology. The Cisco Nexus 9396T12C-SE1 Switch is a 2RU switch that supports 4.2 Tbps of bandwidth and over 2.6Bpps. The 96 10GBASE-T downlink ports on the 9396T12C-SE1 can be configured to work as 100-Mbps, 1-Gbps, or 10-Gbps ports. The 12 uplinks ports can be configured as 40- and 100-Gbps ports, offering flexible migration options. The Cisco Nexus 9396Y12C-SE1 Switch is a 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) switch that supports 9.6 Tbps of bandwidth and 2.6 Bpps across 48 fixed 10/25G SFP+ ports, 48 fixed 10/25G/50G SFP56 ports and 12 fixed 40/100G QSFP28 ports. The 96 ports of downlinks support 1/10/25-Gbps. The 12 uplinks ports can be configured as 40- and 100-Gbps ports, offering flexible migration options.
