Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-E 10GE - Fabric Extender

The Cisco Nexus 2348TQ-E (part number N2K-C2348TQ-E) is a 10GE Fabric Extender from the Nexus 2000 series, offering 48 10GBase-T (RJ-45) server-facing ports and 6 QSFP+ 40 Gbps uplink ports toward the parent switch. Full-duplex transfer capacity reaches 480 Gbps, double that of the 2232TM-E, making it the preferred solution for high-density 10G copper server environments. It supports Data Center Bridging (DCB), vPC technology, QoS with Weighted Round Robin, and hitless ISSU updates.

This Cisco FEX is aimed at data center architects who need to connect a large number of servers over 10G copper while consolidating uplinks at 40G toward the Nexus distribution layer. The 48-port density per rack unit optimizes floor space and simplifies cabling. Genuine hardware, manufacturer warranty.
