Description
The Cisco N2248TP-FA-BUN is a fabric extender designed to streamline data center networking by offering a scalable and efficient solution for top-of-rack connectivity. This unit is part of the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series and functions as a remote line card for Cisco Nexus parent switches, delivering high-density Gigabit Ethernet access with 48 100/1000BASE-T ports and 4 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. Its compact 1RU form factor makes it ideal for space-constrained environments, while front-to-back airflow ensures compatibility with hot-aisle/cold-aisle data center designs. The “FA-BUN” bundle typically includes necessary mounting accessories and fan modules, making it easier to deploy in existing rack configurations.
Built to support unified fabric environments, the N2248TP-FA offers operational simplicity by centralizing management through the parent switch. It supports features such as Cisco Fabric Extender Technology (FEX), which reduces the number of management points and simplifies software upgrades. With a switching capacity that leverages the parent switch’s capabilities, this unit is well-suited for high-performance computing and virtualized deployments. Buyers seeking used hardware will find this model a reliable and cost-effective choice for expanding network access while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and manageability.
