Ideal Use Cases
Top-of-Rack Data Center Deployment
The N9K-C93108TC-EX is purpose-built for ToR deployment, connecting 48 copper-cabled servers at up to 10G while providing 40/100G spine uplinks — all in a single 1RU chassis.
Brownfield Data Center Modernization
The 48 RJ-45 ports reuse existing CAT6/CAT6A cabling infrastructure while adding 40/100G QSFP28 spine uplinks, enabling staged upgrades without full recabling costs.
VXLAN EVPN Fabric Leaf Node
With native NX-OS support for VXLAN EVPN and BGP, the switch serves as a scalable leaf node in modern overlay fabrics for multi-tenant or multi-site data center architectures.
Cisco ACI Leaf Switch
The platform is ACI-ready, supporting policy-driven automation through the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller for organizations running Cisco's software-defined networking model.
High-Density Campus or Enterprise Core
With 2.16 Tbps of non-blocking bandwidth and Virtual PortChannel (vPC) technology, this switch handles high-density east-west traffic in demanding enterprise core environments.
Budget-Conscious Production Upgrade
Organizations replacing end-of-life access or aggregation switches can deploy a certified refurbished N9K-C93108TC-EX at a fraction of new-unit cost while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability.
