Cisco N9K-C9804-FM-A - Nexus 9800 fabric module

Cisco Part Number: N9K-C9804-FM-A is a Cisco Nexus 9800 4-slot chassis fabric module (1^st Generation)

The N9K-C9804-FM-A is a Cisco Nexus 9800 Series 4-slot chassis fabric module (1st Generation). It is designed to be used in the Cisco Nexus 9804 switch chassis, which is a 10-RU modular switch with slots for up to 4 line cards. This fabric module supports the 4-slot chassis and is part of the fabric infrastructure that connects line cards within the chassis.

Key details about the N9K-C9804-FM-A fabric module include:

• It is compatible with the Cisco Nexus 9804 chassis.
• It features 1 x Q200L fabric module ASIC.
• The 4-slot chassis supports up to 8 fabric modules with 7+1 line-rate redundancy for 400GE or 5+1 for 100GE only.
• The fabric module works with line cards such as N9K-X9836DM-A and N9K-X98900CD-A.
• The minimum number of fabric modules required for line-rate operation with these line cards is 7 for 400G mode and 4 for 100G mode.
• It is interoperable with Cisco Nexus 9800 supervisors N9K-C9800-SUP-A and N9K-C9800-SUP-B.

This fabric module is a critical component for the internal switching fabric of the Nexus 9804 chassis, enabling high-speed connectivity and redundancy within the switch architecture.
