N9K-C93180YC-FX3 48-Port Switches

Yes, the N9K-C93180YC-FX3 supports FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) alongside standard Ethernet traffic, allowing consolidated storage and data networking over the same 25G/100G links, which reduces cabling complexity in converged data center environments.

Pricing for refurbished Nexus 93180YC-FX3 units varies based on configuration, condition, and current inventory. Contact Terabit Systems directly for a current quote, as refurbished pricing is significantly lower than new OEM list price while including full testing and warranty coverage.

The switch features 48 x 10/25G SFP28 ports plus 6 x 100G QSFP28 uplinks in a 1RU chassis, delivering high-density, low-latency switching for leaf-spine fabrics. It supports NX-OS and ACI modes, VXLAN, and advanced telemetry, making it suited for modern cloud-scale and enterprise data centers.

The Nexus 93180YC-FX3 provides 48 downlink ports supporting 10G or 25G SFP28 connections, plus 6 uplink ports supporting 40G or 100G QSFP28 connections, giving a total of 54 physical ports in a compact 1RU form factor.

The Nexus 93180 family includes the N9K-C93180YC-EX, N9K-C93180YC-FX, and N9K-C93180YC-FX3, each offering 48 x 10/25G SFP28 ports with 6 x 100G uplinks but differing in ASIC generation, buffer size, and supported features like enhanced telemetry and security in later FX and FX3 models.

The N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is a current-generation successor to earlier fixed 48-port top-of-rack platforms such as the Nexus 3064-E. While port speeds and uplink capacity have increased, migration typically requires cabling and configuration updates rather than direct drop-in replacement.
