N9K-C93108TC-FX3 Description
Cisco Nexus N9K-C93108TC-FX3 (Nexus 93108TC-FX3) is a fixed 1RU leaf/ToR switch that brings 48 ports of 100M/1/10GBASE-T and six QSFP28 uplinks at 40/100G to brownfield and greenfield data centers. With 2.16 Tbps switching capacity and 1.2 Bpps forwarding, it delivers wire-rate performance over existing copper cabling while offering flexible 40/100G uplink migration paths. The platform provides MACsec on all ports, 40 MB shared buffers to smooth bursty traffic, dual management (RJ-45 and SFP), and hot-swappable, airflow-selectable PSUs and fans for resilient, serviceable operation in VXLAN EVPN or ACI fabrics.

Key Features
Copper-friendly 10G access with 100G uplinks
Reuses existing CAT6/CAT6A runs for 100M/1/10G server or appliance access while providing simple 40/100G spine connections, reducing migration cost and downtime.
End-to-end link security at line rate
MACsec on every port enables encrypted leaf-to-leaf and leaf-to-spine links for multi-tenant, healthcare, and finance environments without sacrificing throughput.
Burst-tolerant fabrics for mixed workloads
2.16 Tbps switching, 1.2 Bpps forwarding, and 40 MB shared buffers help absorb fan-in spikes from virtualization, storage, VDI, and backup windows.
Automation from Day-0 to Day-N
POAP for zero-touch bring-up, model-driven telemetry, and open interfaces (NETCONF/REST/OpenConfig) integrate cleanly with Ansible/Terraform pipelines.
Flexible architectures: NX-OS or ACI
Deploy as a VXLAN EVPN leaf under NX-OS or as an ACI leaf for intent-based segmentation, allowing phased brownfield migrations or fast greenfield rollouts.
High availability and serviceability
vPC and ECMP for fast convergence, ISSU/SMU to shrink maintenance windows, plus hot-swap N+1 fans/PSUs and selectable airflow for consistent uptime.
Applications Scenarios
Enterprise & campus data centers
Top-of-rack 10G copper access with 40/100G uplinks for virtualization clusters, mixed Windows/Linux estates, and appliance-heavy racks that prefer BASE-T.
Hosting & MSP edge pods
Cost-efficient copper aggregation with per-port MACsec and simple automation for multi-tenant racks, branch aggregation, and services POPs.
Media, storage & backup domains
Handles high-bitrate editing, NAS/iSCSI, and backup bursts; shared buffers and telemetry help maintain low jitter during peak fan-in events.

Secure transaction. Everything went according to plan.
It is inevitable… that we would receive good service. Acceptable.
Lead times are crazy everywhere, but you had stock. Lifesaver.
Shipped to London fast. VAT handling was correct.
