Cisco Nexus 93180YC-EX 8 QSFP-40G-SR-BD

Keep high-volume east-west traffic moving with a Cisco Nexus 93180YC-EX bundle that pairs the switch with 8 QSFP-40G-SR-BD optics. This configuration is designed for data center teams that need dense connectivity, consistent forwarding performance, and a clean path to modern fabric architectures. The Nexus 9300 family is widely used in leaf-spine deployments because it gives architects the port density and operational consistency required for virtualization, storage, and application tiers that cannot tolerate congestion. Adding QSFP-40G-SR-BD optics helps extend 40 GbE links across short-reach multimode fiber runs, making the bundle practical for rack-to-rack and row-scale connectivity. For procurement teams, this bundle reduces the friction of sourcing switch and optics separately while aligning the hardware to a known Cisco data center platform. For infrastructure teams, it supports standardized deployment patterns and simplifies expansion planning when every port and transceiver choice affects design cost. Choose this bundle when the network needs more than basic switching: it needs a platform that fits into a disciplined data center fabric and supports the performance expectations of enterprise workloads.
