N9K-C92348GC-FX3 Description
N9K-C92348GC-FX3 is a Cisco Nexus 92348GC-FX3 fixed 1RU data center switch with 48×10M/100M/1G BASE-T downlink ports, 4×10/25G SFP28 uplink ports, and 2×40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports.
This model is designed for data center networks that need high-density Gigabit copper connectivity with flexible 25G and 100G uplink options. It is especially suitable for out-of-band management, server management access, data center ToR management, and aggregation designs where most connected devices use 1G RJ45 but the upstream network requires 25G or 100G fiber connectivity.
For procurement teams, N9K-C92348GC-FX3 is usually selected when the project requires a Nexus data center switch rather than a campus access switch, with NX-OS operation, redundant field-replaceable power supplies and fans, and a compact 1RU form factor.

Key Features
N9K-C92348GC-FX3 gives data center teams 48 copper RJ45 downlinks for 1G management or device access, while still providing 25G SFP28 and 100G QSFP28 uplink options. This makes it more suitable for data center management networks than campus access switches.
The 48×BASE-T downlinks are useful for connecting server management interfaces, appliance management ports, storage controllers, console infrastructure, and other 1G copper devices inside a data center rack or management pod.
The 4×SFP28 ports support 1G / 10G / 25G, while the 2×QSFP28 ports support 40G / 100G. This allows engineers to connect the switch to current aggregation layers while preserving a migration path to faster upstream links.
Cisco lists two power supply slots for 1+1 redundancy and three fan modules with port-side intake or exhaust airflow choices. The fan and power supply modules are field replaceable, which supports production data center maintenance planning.
The Nexus 9200 platform runs Cisco NX-OS, which supports programmable data center operations, automation, POAP, NX-API, Python scripting, and integration with DevOps tools. This is valuable when the buyer wants data center switch management rather than traditional campus switching.
If the connected devices only need 10M / 100M / 1G BASE-T, N9K-C92348GC-FX3 avoids overbuying a 10GBASE-T leaf switch while still offering 25G and 100G uplink capability.
Application Scenarios
Choose N9K-C92348GC-FX3 when a data center needs 48 copper ports for server management, appliance management, storage management, or infrastructure management interfaces, with 25G or 100G uplinks back to the aggregation layer.
Use Cisco Nexus 92348GC-FX3 as a top-of-rack management switch when most attached devices use 10M / 100M / 1G RJ45, but the rack still needs high-speed SFP28 or QSFP28 uplink connectivity.
Deploy N9K-C92348GC-FX3 when the project requires a Nexus NX-OS data center platform, but does not need 48 ports of 10GBASE-T or 25G SFP28 server access.

Selection Guide
1. Choose N9K-C92348GC-FX3 for 1G data center management networks
Choose N9K-C92348GC-FX3 when the project needs 48 RJ45 copper ports for data center management, OOB access, appliance management, or 1G device connectivity, with 25G and 100G uplink options.
2. Choose N9K-C93108TC-FX3 if 10GBASE-T downlinks are required
If the connected devices require 10G copper access, N9K-C93108TC-FX3 is the better fit because it provides 48×100M/1/10G BASE-T ports and higher switching bandwidth.
3. Choose N9K-C93180YC-FX3 if fiber 25G server access is required
If the project is for 10G/25G fiber server access rather than RJ45 management connectivity, N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is usually the more appropriate Nexus leaf switch.
4. Confirm airflow, power supply type, and optics before ordering
Before purchasing N9K-C92348GC-FX3, confirm port-side intake or exhaust airflow, 350W AC / PHV or 440W DC power supply type, SFP28 optics, QSFP28 optics, and whether the network design needs 25G or 100G uplinks.
