Cisco Nexus N9K-C9808 Switch
8-slot chassis supports eight line card slots and three power supply trays
The Cisco Nexus 9800 Series modular switches expand the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series portfolio with a new chassis that supports very high port density 400-Gigabit Ethernet line cards. Data centers continue to evolve to support next-generation applications such as machine learning that drive massive bandwidth growth in intra data center traffic. To support this growth, data center operators require compact, high-capacity, high-speed, and highly efficient switches.
Designed for future transition to high-density 800G and higher speeds
The Cisco Nexus N9K-C9808 chassis architecture can scale from 57 Tbps to 115 Tbps with a combination of various first-generation line cards and fabric modules. Each line card slot in the chassis can support line cards that offer 400GE or 100GE or 10/25/50GE ports.
The Cisco Nexus N9K-C9808 supports a 36-port 400G QSFP-DD line card. The QSFP-DD ports are also backward compatible with QSFP28 and QSFP+ modules. This line card provides up to 14.4 Tbps capacity with at least seven fabric modules.
