N2K-C2248TF-E-1GE Cisco 48-Port 1/10GbE Nexus 2000 Fabric Extender Dual PSU Fan

The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series chassis is typically deployed in large-scale data centers and enterprise network environments that require high-density 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. It is especially beneficial for network architects managing tight rack deployments where extending port capacity without adding full switches is essential.

How It's Used:

• Extending the port count of core Cisco Nexus switches in hyperscale data centers to support virtualization environments.
• Providing high-density connectivity in enterprise IT infrastructures to streamline rack-level aggregation and reduce cabling complexity.
• Facilitating edge computing deployments where space and power efficiency demand compact but scalable network extensions.
• Enhancing storage clusters with low-latency, high-throughput fabric extenders to improve data flow between storage arrays and compute nodes.
• Supporting multi-tenant cloud environments by enabling flexible network segmentation and scalable fabric expansion.

By integrating seamlessly with Cisco Nexus switches, this chassis supports operational scalability and efficient utilization of rack space while maintaining consistent performance. Its design accommodates varied airflow requirements, ensuring adaptability to diverse data center cooling architectures and minimizing disruptions during network scaling.
