Overview

N9K-C9396PX-B18Q Overview

N9K-C9396PX is the Nexus 9300 with 48p 1/10G SFP+ and 12p 40G QSFP. The Cisco Nexus 9300 platform consists of fixed-port switches designed for top-of-rack (ToR) and middle-of-row (MoR) deployment in data centers that support enterprise applications, service provider hosting, and cloud computing environments. They are Layer 2 and 3 nonblocking 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switches with up to 2.56 terabits per second (Tbps) of internal bandwidth.

Product Details

Table 2 showsCisco Nexus 9300 Platform Switch Features.

Feature	Benefit
Predictable high performance	Latency of 1 to 2 microseconds with up to 1.28 Tbps of bandwidth enables customers to build a robust switch fabric scaling from as few as 200 10-Gbps server ports to more than 200,000 10-Gbps server ports.
Increased integrated buffer space	Up to a total of 50 MB of integrated shared buffer space allows better management of speed mismatch between access and uplink ports.
Designed for availability	Hot-swappable, redundant power supplies and fan trays increase availability.
Flexible airflow configuration	Port-side intake and port-side exhaust airflow configurations are both supported.
CPU, SSD, and memory	Dual-core 2.5-GHz x86 CPUs with 64-GB SSD drive and 16 GB of memory provide enhanced network performance.
Power efficiency	All Cisco Nexus 9000 Series power supplies are 80 Plus Platinum rated.
Advanced optics	Cisco offers a pluggable 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ transceiver that enables customers to use existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet data center cabling to support 40 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This technology facilitates adoption of 40 Gigabit Ethernet with no cable infrastructure upgrade cost.
