Description
The Cisco N2K-C2348TQ4F-E is a high-performance Fabric Extender designed to provide scalable and efficient connectivity for Cisco Nexus switches in data center environments. Housed in a compact 1RU form factor, it offers 48 10 Gigabit Ethernet host ports using RJ-45 connectors and 4 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports via QSFP+ modules, enabling high-throughput aggregation and streamlined management. Built for top-of-rack deployment, this unit simplifies cabling and reduces operational overhead by extending the parent switch’s control plane to the edge of the network. Its fan and power supply redundancy ensure consistent uptime and reliability in demanding infrastructures.
Ideal for organizations expanding their virtualized or cloud-ready data centers, the N2K-C2348TQ4F-E supports Cisco’s unified fabric strategy, allowing centralized policy enforcement and simplified configurations. It operates seamlessly with Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, and 7000 Series switches, maintaining low latency and high bandwidth across connected devices. The unit includes hot-swappable fans and dual power supplies (AC or DC, depending on configuration), making it a practical choice for minimizing downtime during maintenance. This used model offers a cost-effective solution for enterprise environments looking to scale without compromising on performance or manageability.
