Product Description

High-Density 10G/40G Cisco Switch Low Latency & VDC Support Nexus 5596T-FA
 

The Cisco Nexus 5596T-FA (N5K-C5596T-FA) is a high-performance, top-of-rack (ToR) data center switch designed for modern cloud, virtualization, and enterprise environments. With 48x 10G SFP+ ports and 6x 40G QSFP+ uplinks, it delivers 960 Gbps switching capacity with line-rate throughput, ensuring seamless connectivity for high-bandwidth applications.

Key Features & Benefits

✔ Ultra-Low Latency – Cut-through switching architecture reduces latency to microseconds, ideal for HPC, financial trading, and latency-sensitive workloads.
✔ High Port Density – Supports flexible 1G/10G/40G configurations, with the ability to break out 40G ports into additional 10G connections.
✔ Cisco VDC (Virtual Device Contexts) – Enables multi-tenant isolation by partitioning a single physical switch into multiple logical switches.
✔ VM-FEX & VXLAN Support – Integrates with VMware, Hyper-V, and SDN environments for efficient virtual machine traffic handling.
✔ FEX (Fabric Extender) Compatibility – Extends connectivity to hundreds of servers using Nexus 2000 series switches, simplifying scalability.
✔ Energy-Efficient Design – 1RU form factor with smart power management for reduced operational costs.
