N2K C2248TP E Nexus 2000 ToR FEX for Cisco Data Center Switches original new in stock
Product Overview
The N2K-C2248TP-E is a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender designed to streamline data center operations by simplifying access layer deployment. It provides a cost-effective, scalable, and flexible extension of the parent Cisco Nexus switches.
Product Description
The Cisco N2K-C2248TP-E is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric extender offering 48 fixed 100/1000BASE-T host interfaces and 4 10 Gigabit SFP+ fabric uplinks. It is ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) deployment in highly virtualized or cloud-scale data center environments. Acting as a remote line card for Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, or 7000 Series switches, this device supports centralized management and consistent policy enforcement.
By decoupling physical cabling from logical topologies, the N2K-C2248TP-E reduces complexity and enhances agility in rapidly changing data center environments. Its support for Cisco Fabric Extender Technology (FEX) makes it an optimal choice for operational consistency, cable management, and lower total cost of ownership.
