Nexus 9300 Series, 48p 400G Switch, MACsec capable

The Cisco Nexus® 9300-GX2 Series switches address the need for high-performance, power-efficient, compact switches in the networking infrastructure. These switches are optimized for supporting large network fabrics due to their compact size and high density. These ports support various speeds and breakouts, and offer wire-rate MACsec encryption.

The Cisco Nexus 9348D-GX2A is a 2-rack-unit (2RU) switch that supports 38.4 Tbps of bandwidth and 8.35 bpps across 48 fixed 400G QSFP-DD ports and 2 fixed 1/10G SFP+ ports (Figure 2). QSFP-DD ports also support native 200G (QSFP56), 100G (QSFP28), and 40G (QSFP+). Each port can also support 4 x 10G, 4 x 25G, 4 x 50G, 4 x 100G, and 2 x 200G breakouts. All 48 ports are capable of wire-rate MACsec encryption. This switch is best suited to support massive scale-out fabrics as a compact, high-density spine.
