N9K-C92348GC-X Description
N9K-C92348GC-X is a Cisco Nexus 92348GC-X fixed 1RU data center switch for top-of-rack or management switching roles that need dense 100M/1G copper connectivity with higher-speed uplink options. It combines 48 100M/1G Base-T ports with four 1/10/25G SFP28 ports and two 40/100G QSFP28 ports, supports 0.696 Tbps of bandwidth, and includes a 40 MB shared system buffer, 8 GB of system memory, a 16 GB SSD, dual power-supply capability, three fan modules, and port-side intake or port-side exhaust airflow options for data center rack airflow alignment.

Product Performance
Key Features
The port mix combines 48 100M/1G Base-T ports with SFP28 and QSFP28 interfaces, so the same 1RU switch can handle copper endpoints and higher-speed uplinks.
The chassis is a fixed 1RU Nexus 9200 platform switch, which keeps rack planning simpler than modular Nexus chassis builds.
Cisco identifies the model as based on Cisco Cloud Scale technology, aligning this SKU with Nexus data center switching rather than campus access switching.
Cisco lists both port-side intake and port-side exhaust fan and power-supply options, so the quote should not mix opposite airflow parts.
The switch supports up to two power supplies, with one used for operation and one for redundancy when the ordered power design supports that layout.
Cisco points optic and cable selection to the Nexus transceiver compatibility tables, so SFP28 and QSFP28 media should be validated before release.
Application Scenarios
Use N9K-C92348GC-X when a rack needs many 100M or 1G Base-T connections for servers, appliances, controllers, or infrastructure ports while keeping Nexus switching at the rack edge.
Select this SKU for a Nexus 9200 ToR or management-switching role where copper density is more important than 10GBASE-T downlinks.
Choose this model when the design needs 25G SFP28 and 100G QSFP28 uplink options but the endpoint side remains 100M or 1G copper.

- In a N9K-C92348GC-X vs N9K-C92348GC-FX3 comparison, both models keep 48 Base-T ports, four SFP28 ports, two QSFP28 ports, and 0.696 Tbps bandwidth.
- The N9K-C92348GC-X difference from N9K-C92348GC-FX3 is the Base-T speed floor and system resources: the FX3 model adds 10M Base-T support, 32 GB memory, and a 128 GB SSD.
- For buyers comparing N9K-C92348GC-X vs N9K-C92348GC-FX3, the key order check is whether the rack needs older 10M copper support or the higher memory and SSD profile documented for FX3. N9K-C92160YC-X is included as an additional same-family comparison point.
Selection Guide
1. Choose N9K-C92348GC-X for 100M/1G copper downlinks
Select this SKU when the BOM requires 48 Base-T downlinks and the connected devices only need 100M or 1G speeds on copper.
2. Compare N9K-C92348GC-FX3 for 10M Base-T support
Use the FX3 alternative when the official port plan must include 10M copper compatibility or when the project requires the FX3 memory and SSD profile.
3. Validate the uplink media plan early
Confirm the SFP28 and QSFP28 optics or cables in Cisco compatibility documentation before adding this switch to a quote.
4. Match airflow and power before ordering
Check port-side intake or exhaust direction, AC or DC power type, power cords, rack depth, and support coverage before purchase release.

What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
N9K-C92348GC-X rather than N9K-C92348GC-FX3 |
The FX3 model changes Base-T speed support, memory, SSD, and power profile |
|
Downlink requirement |
48 ports of 100M/1G Base-T |
The X model is not the 10M/100M/1G FX3 variant |
|
Uplink media |
Four SFP28 ports and two QSFP28 ports with Cisco-supported optics or cables |
Optics are selected separately from the base switch |
|
Airflow direction |
Port-side intake or port-side exhaust fans and power supplies |
Mixed airflow parts can create rack cooling problems |
|
Power design |
AC or DC power supplies and two-supply redundancy requirement |
Cisco lists multiple power-supply options for this chassis |
|
Rack fit |
1RU space, 18.5 in. chassis depth, and airflow sleeve depth if used |
Cabinet clearance should be checked before installation |
