The Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E Fabric Extender is a high-performance 1 Gigabit Ethernet fabric extender designed to simplify data center access architecture and operations. It features 48 100/1000BASE-T host-facing ports and four 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric interfaces (SFP+). Optimized for demanding workloads such as large-volume databases, distributed storage, and video editing, it incorporates a significantly larger 32MB shared buffer compared to standard models. As part of the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series, it operates as a remote line card for a parent Cisco Nexus switch, enabling a distributed modular system that provides the benefits of both Top-of-Rack (ToR) and End-of-Row (EoR) deployments.
