Cisco N9K-C93216TC-FX2 Nexus 9300 Switch | 96-Port 10GBASE-T Data Center Switch

Source: Cisco Nexus 9300-FX2 Series specifications.

The Cisco Nexus N9K-C93216TC-FX2 Switch is a high-density 2RU data center switch designed for modern enterprise networks, cloud computing environments, and large-scale data center deployments. As part of the Cisco Nexus 9300-FX2 Series, it delivers high-performance switching with 96 × 100M/1/10GBASE-T copper ports and 12 × 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports, providing flexible connectivity for server access and network aggregation.

Built on Cisco Cloud Scale technology, the N9K-C93216TC-FX2 supports advanced data center features including VXLAN EVPN, Cisco ACI, Layer 2/Layer 3 networking, network automation, and real-time telemetry. It enables organizations to build scalable, automated, and highly efficient network architectures while protecting existing copper cabling investments.

Compared with traditional access switches, the Cisco Nexus N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides significantly higher bandwidth density and future-ready uplink capability. Its combination of 10GBASE-T server connectivity and 100G uplinks makes it ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) deployments, virtualization environments, AI workloads, cloud data centers, and enterprise applications requiring high-speed east-west traffic.

The switch supports both Cisco NX-OS mode for traditional networking and ACI mode for policy-based automated infrastructure management, allowing businesses to choose the deployment model that best fits their operational requirements.

The N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides 96 integrated 10GBASE-T ports, allowing enterprises to connect a large number of servers, storage systems, and virtualization hosts without additional transceivers.

With 12 QSFP28 uplink ports, the switch supports high-speed connections to spine switches, core networks, and data center fabrics.

Support for VXLAN EVPN and Cisco ACI enables automated network provisioning, scalable multi-tenant environments, and simplified operations.

Organizations can gradually migrate from 1G/10G networks toward 25G/40G/100G architectures while continuing to use existing copper infrastructure.
