Introduction

The Cisco Nexus N9348Y12C-SE1 switch belongs to the fixed Cisco Nexus 9000 platform based on the most advanced Cisco Silicon One ASIC in a 1-RU form factor. 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.

Scope

This document summarizes the current capabilities of the N9348Y12C-SE1 switch, including the current software features and hardware products.

Positioning

For data center architects and enterprise network professionals requiring scalable, high-throughput switching solution in compact form factor, the Cisco Nexus 9348Y12C-SE1 is a powerful, fixed-port 1RU Top-of-Rack switch built on advanced Cisco Silicon One technology. The Cisco N9348Y12C-SE1 switch is a 1RU switch that supports 5.6 Tbps of bandwidth. The 32 ports of downlinks support 1/10/25-Gbps and 16 ports support 1/10/25/50-Gbps. The 12 uplink ports can be configured as 40- and 100-Gbps ports, offering flexible migration options.
