Cisco Nexus N9K-C9348D-GX2A - Data Centre Switch

Cisco Part Number: N9K-C9348D-GX2A is a Cisco Nexus 9348D-GX2A Switch with 48p 400/100-Gbps QSFP-DD ports and 2p 1/10 SFP+ ports

The Cisco Nexus 9300-GX2 series delivers high-performance, power-efficient, and compact switches designed for modern networking infrastructures. These switches support advanced fabrics with speeds of 50G, 100G, 200G, and 400G, making them ideal for next-generation leaf and spine architectures as well as IP storage fabrics.

Built with backward-compatible 400G QSFP-DD interfaces, the platform enables seamless migration from existing 40G and 100G data center fabrics to 400G. It also supports a variety of lower port speeds, including 10G, 25G, 50G, and 200G through breakouts, ensuring deployment flexibility.

The Cisco Nexus 9000 Series offers two modes of operation:

• Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI)
• Cisco NX-OS Mode
