Cisco Nexus 9300 48P 100M/110GT 6P 40/100G QSFP28 | Enterprise Switch

Build a switching layer that can absorb growth without forcing a redesign. This Cisco Nexus 9300 configuration combines 48 100M/110GT ports with 6 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks, giving network teams a practical mix of access density and high-speed aggregation capacity. The port layout supports environments where many endpoints still connect at lower speeds, while uplinks must carry far more traffic toward the core or spine. That balance matters in campus aggregation, data center access, and mixed-speed migration projects where you need to preserve investment while increasing throughput. Cisco Nexus 9300 platforms are commonly selected for operational consistency, strong ecosystem fit, and predictable deployment patterns. This configuration is especially relevant when you need a switch that can serve both current access requirements and higher-capacity uplink planning without overcommitting to a larger chassis. For teams comparing options, the value here is density with headroom: enough 100M/110GT ports for broad endpoint coverage, plus 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks to keep the fabric from becoming the bottleneck.
