N9K-C93360YC-FX2 Description
N9K-C93360YC-FX2 is a Cisco Nexus 93360YC-FX2 2RU fixed-port data center switch with 96 1/10/25G SFP28 downlink ports and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports.
This SKU is used when a Nexus 9000 leaf switch needs high 10G/25G fiber access density with built-in 40G/100G uplinks. It is mainly selected for top-of-rack, end-of-row, collapsed access, and converged LAN/SAN designs where 48-port 25G switches do not provide enough access-side port count.
For procurement, quote N9K-C93360YC-FX2 with airflow direction, 1200W AC, 930W DC, or 1200W HVAC/HVDC power supply choice, supported optics or cables, software licensing, stock status, lead time, and global shipping requirements confirmed before ordering.

Key Features
N9K-C93360YC-FX2 provides 96 SFP28 downlink ports for 1G, 10G, or 25G Ethernet access. This fits server, storage, and appliance environments where fiber access density is more important than a 1RU footprint.
The 12 QSFP28 ports support 40G or 100G uplinks, helping engineers connect a dense access layer into spine, aggregation, or core switches without reserving downlink ports for uplink duty.
Cisco lists breakout support on ports 97-108 for 4 × 10/25G. This gives buyers more cabling flexibility, but every breakout cable, optic, and port plan should be checked before the quote is finalized.
The platform supports 16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel in addition to Ethernet use cases. This can be useful in LAN/SAN convergence projects, but FC/FCoE software mode, licensing, and optics should be validated against the deployment design.
N9K-C93360YC-FX2 can be deployed in standard Nexus NX-OS environments or ACI mode. Buyers should confirm the minimum image, license tier, and operational model before ordering.
The switch uses three fan trays and two power supply modules. Cisco requires matching airflow direction across fan and power modules, and power supply types should not be mixed.
Application Scenarios
Use N9K-C93360YC-FX2 when the access layer needs 96 fiber ports for 10G or 25G server connectivity, plus fixed 40G/100G uplinks. It fits racks or rows with many server NICs and a requirement to stay on the Nexus 9300-FX2 platform.
Choose this SKU when a design needs 1/10/25G Ethernet access and also has a validated requirement for 16/32G Fibre Channel or FCoE support. Confirm NX-OS or ACI mode, FC/FCoE licensing, and optic support before purchase.
Deploy N9K-C93360YC-FX2 when the project is moving server access from 10G to 25G while preserving 40G or 100G upstream connectivity. This helps procurement avoid buying a lower-density 48-port model when the port count requirement is already known.

- N9K-C93360YC-FX2 is the dense 96-port fiber access choice when the design needs 1/10/25G SFP28 access and 12 fixed 40/100G uplinks.
- N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is the smaller 48-port fiber access alternative when 96 downlink ports are not required.
- N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is the closer choice only when the access requirement is 10GBASE-T copper instead of SFP28 fiber.
Selection Guide
1. Choose N9K-C93360YC-FX2 for dense 25G fiber access
Select N9K-C93360YC-FX2 when the project needs 96 server-facing 1/10/25G SFP28 ports, 12 fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks, and 7.2 Tbps switching bandwidth in a Cisco Nexus 9300-FX2 platform.
2. Choose N9K-C93240YC-FX2 when 48 fiber ports are enough
If the port count requirement is 48 or fewer fiber downlinks, N9K-C93240YC-FX2 may be a more compact option with the same 1/10/25G downlink and 40/100G uplink pattern.
3. Choose N9K-C93216TC-FX2 only for 10GBASE-T copper access
If servers or appliances require RJ-45 100M/1G/10GBASE-T connectivity, compare against N9K-C93216TC-FX2. Do not substitute it when the requirement is 25G SFP28 fiber access.
4. Verify power, airflow, licensing, and optics before quote
Before requesting price or stock, confirm port-side intake or exhaust airflow, 1200W AC or 930W DC power supplies, compatible SFP28/QSFP28 optics or cables, FC/FCoE needs, and Cisco license requirements.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Access Port Media |
Cisco-supported SFP/SFP+/SFP28 optics, DAC, or AOC for 1G/10G/25G downlinks |
Prevents mismatch with server NICs and cabling |
|
Uplink Connectivity |
QSFP28 optics, DAC, or AOC for 40G/100G uplinks |
Ensures spine or aggregation links are ready at deployment |
|
Breakout Plan |
Whether ports 97-108 need 4 × 10/25G breakout |
Determines cable type, port mapping, and configuration |
|
FC/FCoE Requirement |
16/32G Fibre Channel use case, software mode, and license support |
Prevents ordering an Ethernet-only bill of materials for a converged design |
|
Airflow Direction |
Port-side intake or port-side exhaust for fans and power supplies |
Mixed airflow can create cooling and installation issues |
|
Power Supply Type |
1200W AC, 930W DC, or 1200W HVAC/HVDC power supply choice |
Power input and redundancy design must match the site |
|
Power Supply Matching |
Use the same PSU type across installed power supplies |
Cisco installation guidance does not allow mixing AC, DC, and HVAC/HVDC PSUs |
