Cisco Catalyst C9500-40X-E - L3 - 40 Ports

The Cisco Catalyst C9500-40X-E (part number C9500-40X-2Q-E) is a 40-port SFP+ 10 Gbps L3 switch, offering a switching capacity of 480 Gbps full-duplex and a forwarding rate of 720 Mpps. It differs from the C9500-24Q-E through its 10G SFP+ connectivity instead of 40G QSFP, making it well suited to high-density 10G server aggregation scenarios. It features 16 GB DDR4 RAM, 16 GB flash, supports 64,000 IPv4 routes, 4,000 VLANs, MACsec, StackWise Virtual, LISP, OSPF, and Zero-Touch Provisioning under Cisco IOS XE.

The Catalyst 9500-40X-E is designed for access and aggregation layers in enterprise data centers where 10G SFP+ connectivity is predominant. It delivers the same rich SDN feature set and reliability as the 9500 series in a space-efficient 1U form factor. Genuine hardware, manufacturer warranty.
