DS-C9148T-24PETK9 is a managed storage-network switch with 24 active 32G Fibre Channel ports in a fixed 48-cage chassis. The bundle includes 24 DS-SFP-FC32G-SW transceivers and port-side exhaust airflow. The MDS 9148T connects servers and all-flash storage in standalone or larger SAN environments. DS-C9148T-24PITK9 provides the corresponding port-side intake configuration, making airflow direction an ordering distinction rather than a software setting.

1500 Gbps aggregate full-duplex switching bandwidth provides the chassis capacity for expansion. DS-C9148T-24PETK9 supports FC-NVMe alongside existing SCSI storage workloads. At 25°C, the 24-transceiver configuration draws 267W at 110V under full traffic load, providing a load-specific reference for electrical planning. Cisco NX-OS runs the switch; optional advanced software entitlements remain separate from perpetual port activation.
DS-C9148T-24PETK9 is available new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM coverage of up to 3-year extended for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; 30-day returns apply to every condition, terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, accessory quantities and optional software entitlements on the purchase order. POs are accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA with advance replacement supports enterprise and volume purchasing.

When consolidating storage switches into a crowded equipment row, ventilation clearance affects the rack layout before installation. Maintain 64 mm between chassis air vents and walls and 152 mm horizontal separation between adjacent chassis. Specify the rack position and available clearance before issuing the purchase order.
For an isolated SAN that cannot contact licensing services directly, additional port activation requires an offline authorization workflow. Smart Licensing Using Policy supports manual authorization-code generation and installation, alongside offline usage reporting. Assign responsibility for obtaining and installing the authorization before ordering expansion licenses for staging.
Organizations maintaining spare hardware across UK, EU, US and MEA can establish their acceptance requirements before issuing a purchase order. Certified refurbishment includes inspection and bench testing. Specify the required condition, regional quantities and spare-stock allocation together so the order matches the intended stock and RMA requirements.
64G Fibre Channel endpoint connections
Native Fibre Channel connectivity stops at 32G per port. A requirement for 64G endpoint links exceeds the switch’s supported port speed.
48 active ports without expansion licenses
Only 24 ports are active initially. DS-C9148T-48PETK9 provides 48 active ports at purchase for orders requiring the full port count immediately.
