The Cisco Nexus 2348TQ Fabric Extender (FEX) provides 48 10 GBASE-T host port interfaces and up to six 40 GE fabric interfaces in a compact 1-rack-unit (1RU) form factor. This platform, with innovative features and enhanced buffers, is ideally suited for migrating to 10GBASE-T in the network access.
Architectural Flexibility
The Cisco Nexus 2348TQ FEX is part of Nexus 2300 Series Fabric Extenders. Combining the fabric extender and Cisco Nexus switches creates a flexible strategy for server access. Read on to learn its capabilities.
