Description
The Cisco N9K-X9732C-FX= is a high-performance 100-Gigabit Ethernet aggregation line card designed for the Cisco Nexus 9500 modular switching platform. Featuring 32 QSFP28 ports, this cloud-scale line card delivers ultra-low latency, high throughput, and advanced security for modern data center core and aggregation deployments.
Optimized for Cisco NX-OS environments, the FX line card supports flexible port breakout options and line-rate MACsec encryption, enabling secure, high-speed east-west and north-south traffic flows. With a switching capacity of up to 6.4 Tbps per slot, deep packet buffering, and support for large routing and forwarding tables, it is ideal for high-density spine, aggregation, and high-performance computing architectures.
The N9K-X9732C-FX= integrates seamlessly into Nexus 9500 chassis designs, supporting scalable, resilient fabrics while maintaining predictable performance for cloud, enterprise, and service provider data centers.
