Cisco Nexus 93600CD-GX 28x100/40G QSFP28 + 8x400/100G QSFP-DD Switch
Cisco Nexus 9300 C93600CD-GX DC Switch
The Cisco Nexus 93600CD-GX (N9K-C93600CD-GX) is a 1 RU, fixed-port data-center switch engineered for U.S. hyperscale, cloud and AI/ML fabrics—from Silicon Valley AI clusters to Wall Street high-frequency trading backbones.
It delivers 28 fixed 100/40 Gbps QSFP-28 ports and 8 fixed 400/100 Gbps Quad-Small-Form-Factor Pluggable-Double-Density (QSFP-DD) ports, offering 12 Tbps of full-duplex switching bandwidth and 4.0 billion packets per second of forwarding capacity in a compact chassis.
Built on Cisco Cloud Scale UADP 2.0 ASIC, it supports ACI or NX-OS modes, real-time telemetry, and advanced automation for seamless integration into Cisco Nexus Dashboard and DNA Center in U.S. data-centers.
