Cisco Nexus 2000 10gt Fex 48x1/10t 6x40g Qsfp

Introduction

The Cisco Nexus 2348TQ Fabric Extender (FEX) provides 48 10 GBASE-T host port interfaces and up to six 40 GE fabric interfaces in a compact 1-rack-unit (1RU) form factor. This platform, with innovative features and enhanced buffers, is ideally suited for migrating to 10GBASE-T in the network access.

Architectural Flexibility

The Cisco Nexus 2348TQ FEX is part of Nexus 2300 Series Fabric Extenders. Combining the fabric extender and Cisco Nexus switches creates a flexible strategy for server access. Read on to learn its capabilities.

Reduced TCO

- Allows easy migration from 100M or 1 Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet
- Uses existing category 6 or 7a cabling
- Effectively reuses structured cabling with bidirectional optics
- Reduces power consumption

Simplified Operations

- Offers a single point of management, software upgrade, and policy enforcement
- Features for fast, easy management include autoconfiguration

Increased Business Agility

- Supports Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) for LAN and SAN convergence
- Offers large 32-MB buffers that sustain workload spikes
- Provides architectural flexibility with Cisco Dynamic Fabric Automation and Application Centric Infrastrucure
- Delivers improved resilience with virtual PortChannel (vPC), and In-Service Software Upgrades (ISSUs)
