Description
The Cisco Nexus N9K-X9788TC-FX is a high-density copper access and aggregation line card designed for the Cisco Nexus 9500 modular switching platform. It delivers 48 ports of 1/10GBASE-T for flexible server and access connectivity, combined with 4 high-speed 40/100GbE QSFP28 uplinks for aggregation or spine connectivity.
Built on Cisco cloud-scale architecture, this line card enables seamless migration from legacy copper networks to high-performance data center fabrics. It supports enterprise and data center deployments requiring copper access, low latency, and scalable bandwidth while integrating smoothly into modern spine-leaf designs.
Ideal for mixed-speed environments, the N9K-X9788TC-FX provides operational simplicity, investment protection, and consistent performance across Cisco Nexus 9500 Series chassis.
