Tested
Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Enterprise-grade 100G leaf switching at a fraction of new list price — professionally tested and backed for life.
This refurbished Cisco N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is a 1.2RU, fixed-port Nexus 9000 Series switch professionally tested and reset to factory defaults. It ships with dual NXA-PAC-1100W-PI2 1100W AC power supplies for full redundancy. Built on Cisco Cloud Scale technology, it delivers the port density and flexibility enterprise data centers demand at a significantly reduced cost.The 93240YC-FX2 supports 4.8 Tbps of aggregate switching bandwidth and over 2.5 billion packets per second forwarding rate. Its 48 downlink SFP28 ports operate at 1/10/25 Gbps, while 12 QSFP28 uplinks support 40 or 100 Gbps — making it a natural leaf switch for migrating server access layers from 10G to 25G while preserving existing 40G uplink investments. The platform runs Cisco NX-OS or Cisco ACI, supports VXLAN EVPN, MACsec, virtual PortChannel (vPC), RoCE, and Power On Auto Provisioning (POAP) for zero-touch deployment.
Buying refurbished from WhaleyComm means the same Cisco silicon and feature set at a fraction of new list price. Every unit is processed under our ISO 9001-certified workflow, R2v3 and e-Stewards certified, and backed by our Lifetime Warranty. With 25+ years and 5,000+ enterprise customers, WhaleyComm is a trusted name in secondary-market Cisco infrastructure.

Ideal Use Cases
25G Server Access Leaf Switch
The 48 x 1/10/25G SFP28 downlinks provide a direct, cost-effective upgrade path for servers moving from 10G to 25G NICs, with no recabling required on existing fiber plants.
VXLAN EVPN Spine-Leaf Fabric
Native VXLAN EVPN support makes the 93240YC-FX2 an ideal leaf node in modern overlay fabrics, supporting multi-site and hierarchical deployments under both NX-OS and Cisco ACI modes.
Cisco ACI Leaf Node
The switch is purpose-built for spine-leaf-APIC ACI deployments, enabling policy-driven, automated network management across multi-tenant data center environments.
Data Center Migration and Refresh
The platform transparently bridges legacy 1G and 10G server infrastructure with 25G and 100G aggregation, protecting existing cabling investments during phased data center modernization.
High-Performance Compute and Storage Networking
With RoCE support, 40MB of shared system buffer, and MACsec encryption, the switch meets the low-latency and security requirements of HPC clusters and all-flash storage fabrics.
Enterprise Campus Core Aggregation
Dual redundant 1100W power supplies, five fan modules with N+1 redundancy, and hot-swap field-replaceable components make this switch suitable for always-on campus aggregation roles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes. The N9K-C93240YC-FX2 supports both Cisco NX-OS standalone mode and Cisco ACI mode with an APIC controller. You can deploy it in a traditional Layer 2/3 environment or as a leaf node in a full ACI spine-leaf fabric.
Yes. This listing includes dual NXA-PAC-1100W-PI2 1100W AC power supplies with port-side intake airflow already installed in the chassis. The switch supports 1+1 power redundancy, so a single PSU failure will not interrupt operations.
The 48 SFP28 downlink ports connect to servers or access-layer devices at 1, 10, or 25 Gbps. The 12 QSFP28 uplink ports connect to spine switches or aggregation devices at 40 or 100 Gbps, giving you flexible migration options without replacing downstream cabling.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
