N2K-C2348UPQ-10GE Cisco 48-Port 10GB/s Gigabit Ethernet Network Switch for Nexus 2000 Series

Cisco N2K-C2348UPQ-10GE

The Cisco N2K-C2348UPQ-10GE is a 48-port Gigabit Ethernet switch from Cisco, part of the Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender, built for data center and high-density server rooms where east-west traffic and port density are priorities. The product line is engineered for data center fabric extension.

With 48 ports running at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, it has plenty of capacity for users, devices and uplinks. The 10GbE ports are well suited to backbone links, NAS connections and other high-traffic paths. Dense port counts help consolidate the wiring closet and reduce the number of switches to maintain. Cat5e or Cat6 patch leads let each copper port reach its full Gigabit speed.

As a managed switch it gives administrators full control over how traffic is segmented, prioritized and secured. It runs on Managed from a parent Cisco Nexus switch (FEX), so it fits existing management tools and operating procedures. As a central connection point, it links users with applications, storage and online services. VLAN segmentation isolates sensitive systems from general user traffic. Every port provides a dedicated connection, so devices do not compete for a shared medium. Port mirroring and diagnostic tools make troubleshooting and traffic analysis faster. Regular firmware updates, where available, help keep the switch secure and stable.

Virtualized workloads, storage traffic and east-west flows benefit from its density and speed. In a leaf-spine design, high-speed ports connect servers at the leaf while uplinks provide bandwidth to the spine. Add the Cisco N2K-C2348UPQ-10GE to your network for Cisco Gigabit Ethernet switching you can depend on.
