The Cisco Nexus N2K-C2348UPQ-10GE is a high-density Fabric Extender (FEX) built for unified, scalable data center environments that demand both Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity. It is designed to operate as a remote line card for a parent Nexus switch (like 5000, 6000, 7000, or 9000 Series), centralizing control and policy while enabling a flexible Top-of-Rack (ToR) architecture that reduces cabling complexity. It features 48 Unified SFP+ ports, allowing each port to be configured for 1G/10G Ethernet, FCoE, or native 2/4/8G Fibre Channel, supporting infrastructure consolidation. Upstream connectivity is provided by six 40G QSFP+ uplinks, offering up to 240 Gbps of aggregate bandwidth to the parent switch. It supports cut-through switching, has a 32 MB shared buffer, and includes Data Center Bridging (DCB) support for lossless Ethernet. The unit includes slots for hot-swappable redundant power supplies and fans and supports reversible airflow options.
