DS-C9148V-24PETK9 is a managed Fibre Channel SAN switch supplied with 24 active ports and 24 DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= shortwave optics. The fixed 48-port chassis supports 64-Gbps Fibre Channel, while the included optics establish the initial 32-Gbps connection speed. The MDS 9148V connects storage arrays and hosts in dedicated storage networks, with ports available for device connections or inter-switch links. DS-C9148V-24PEVK9 differs by including DS-SFP-FC64G-SW= optics for purchases requiring 64-Gbps connections from the outset.

3000 Gbps hardware switching capacity provides the chassis aggregate bandwidth ceiling, not additional port activation. 213W at 110V AC, 25°C, and full traffic represents the maximum-traffic draw for the supplied 24-optic configuration, making the operating conditions important to power planning. DS-C9148V-24PETK9 supports NX-OS CLI administration, SSHv2, SNMPv3, and NX-API automation. VSAN isolation, hardware zoning, and role-based access control govern storage access; IVR requires an additional license. Buffer allocation supports 24000 credits per 24-port group rather than a single shared chassis-wide allocation. The data ports provide Fibre Channel connectivity, not Ethernet access switching.
ORM Systems offers DS-C9148V-24PETK9 new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and clean boot; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, optical contents, regional power cords, and required licenses on the purchase order. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage across UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When a discontinued DS-C9148S-D12PSK9 or DS-C9148S-D12P8K9 reaches a refresh cycle, migration changes both the enabled connection count and the supplied optical generation. Treat the purchase as a fabric migration rather than a like-for-like spare, and check remote adapters, optical reach, zoning, and cutover requirements before issuing the PO.
When a SAN needs additional connections after initial commissioning, M9148V-PL8 enables expansion in eight-port increments. Keep port activation separate from transceiver purchasing: the upgrade is a license rather than an optical bundle. Specify the required entitlement quantity and matching optics against the planned connection count before releasing the order.
64-Gbps links using supplied optics
The supplied DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= optics provide 32-Gbps connections. DS-C9148V-24PEVK9 instead includes 24 DS-SFP-FC64G-SW= optics for buyers requiring 64-Gbps links without an initial optics replacement.
48 active connections at delivery
The supplied configuration enables 24 connections. DS-C9148V-48PETK9 includes 48 active ports with DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= optics, avoiding a separate initial port-activation purchase for that connection count.
Port-side intake rack cooling
Port-side exhaust directs heated air toward the cable-facing side. DS-C9148V-24PITK9 provides port-side intake airflow with the same active-port count and included optical speed.

DS-C9148V-24PETK9 identifies an MDS 9148V bundle with 24 active ports, 32G shortwave optics, and port-side exhaust airflow. DS-C9148V identifies the family, 24P corresponds to the enabled connections, and ETK9 identifies the exhaust optical bundle with four DS-C32S-FAN-E= fan modules and two power supplies.
Administrators manage DS-C9148V-24PETK9 through the NX-OS CLI over serial console or SSHv2, SNMPv3, NX-API over HTTP/HTTPS, and Cisco DCNM/NDFC integration. Access includes dedicated Ethernet management and in-band IP over Fibre Channel. SMI-S supports third-party integration; onboard Python, Embedded Event Manager, and USB auto-provisioning support automation.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for MDS 9148V. DS-C9148V-24PETK9 therefore has no announced hardware sale cutoff or last-support milestone. For procurement, distinguish the chassis lifecycle from software-release maintenance dates and the coverage attached to a particular order.
ORM offers DS-C9148V-24PETK9 new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to a 1-year warranty. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's limited hardware warranty is separate from ORM coverage and follows the original product warranty terms.
DS-C9148V-24PETK9 supports optional Cisco MDS Advantage and Premier subscriptions with a 1-year minimum and 3-, 5-, or 7-year terms. Advantage includes Enterprise and NDFC; Premier adds SAN Analytics. Smart Licensing Using Policy uses a Cisco Smart Account, while port expansion is purchased separately through M9148V-PL8.
DS-C9148V-24PETK9 replaces the discontinued DS-C9148S-D12PSK9 and DS-C9148S-D12P8K9, both with an August 15, 2023 end-of-sale date. Those older bundles began with 12 active ports. Migration changes connection allocation and supplied optical speed, so match existing remote adapters and optical paths to the replacement bundle before cutover.
MDS 9148V provides 48 physical Fibre Channel cages, and DS-C9148V-24PETK9 ships with 24 enabled ports populated with DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= optics. Expansion uses M9148V-PL8 eight-port licenses rather than a port module. Specify additional optics alongside activation entitlements when planning to use the remaining cages.
Yes, DS-C9148V-24PETK9 includes two hot-swappable redundant power supplies. Independent power feeds are required for grid redundancy; connecting both supplies to one feed does not provide that separation. DS-CAC-500W-E= is a compatible 500W port-side exhaust spare, and replacement airflow must match the installed cooling direction.
DS-C9148V-24PETK9 includes 24 DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= optics, while DS-C9148V-24PEVK9 includes 24 DS-SFP-FC64G-SW= optics. Both enable the same connection count. The former suits an initial 32-Gbps optical deployment; the latter suits buyers specifying 64-Gbps links without replacing the supplied transceivers.
DS-C9148V-24PETK9 uses port-side exhaust airflow, whereas DS-C9148V-24PITK9 uses port-side intake airflow. The active-port count and included optical speed are unchanged. Select the exhaust model when the port face belongs in the hot aisle, or the intake model when the port face receives cold air.
DS-C9148V-24PETK9 includes 24 active ports and 24 DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= optics; DS-C9148V-48PETK9 includes 48 active ports and 48 DS-SFP-FC32G-SW= optics. Choose the smaller activation bundle for a lower initial connection count, or the fully activated bundle when all connections are required at delivery.
