The Cisco Nexus 9396PX switch is a 2-rack-unit (2RU) switch that supports 960 Gbps of bandwidth across 48 fixed 10-Gbps SFP+ ports and 12 fixed 40-Gbps QSFP+ ports. The 40-Gbps ports are provided on an uplink module that can be serviced and replaced by the user.
With its 48 fixed ports, the Cisco Nexus 9396PX has enough ports to support the densest 1RU server configurations. A pair of these switches can support redundant connectivity to each server in a rack with ports to spare. The 480 Gbps of uplink capacity from each switch is sufficient to provide full 10-Gbps bandwidth to each server with no oversubscription.
The Cisco Nexus 9396PX can be used to connect both 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet-equipped fabric extenders, and it is provide excellent connectivity for large numbers 10 Gigabit Ethernet-equipped blade or rack servers equipped with 10GBASE-T ports.
