N2K-C2248TF-E Use Case
High-Density Top-of-Rack Aggregation for Enterprise Data Centers
In an enterprise campus data center, IT teams deploy the N2K-C2248TF-E (Nexus 2248TP-E) with 8 FET and selectable front-to-back or back-to-front airflow and dual redundant power supplies to aggregate 48 1/10GbE servers and 4 40GbE uplinks in a 1RU form factor. This configuration delivers ultra-low latency and wire-speed performance, reduces rack footprint by 50%, and ensures energy-efficient operation through FET-based PoE controls and dynamic airflow selection, resulting in 30% lower cooling costs and simplified maintenance windows.
Cloud Service Provider Spine-Leaf Fabric with Redundant Power and Airflow Options
A cloud service provider integrates the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E with 8 FET modules at leaf nodes within a leaf-spine architecture, leveraging the switch’s configurable airflow and hot-swappable, dual power supplies for high availability. By supporting up to 48 10GbE leaf connections and 4 40GbE spine uplinks, the deployment achieves predictable east-west traffic performance, seamless scaling to 1,200+ virtual machines per rack, and 99.999% uptime SLAs. The result is improved service velocity and up to 35% reduction in rack-level operational expenditure.
Edge Computing and Industrial IoT Aggregation with Flexible Cooling
In a manufacturing plant’s edge computing zone, engineers install the Nexus 2248TP-E with 8 FET-enabled PoE+ ports, choosing reverse airflow to maintain clean-room standards. The switch powers and aggregates 48 IP cameras, IoT sensors, and industrial controllers, while dual AC/DC power choices support onsite UPS and generator failover. This solution ensures deterministic network performance, simplifies power management by auto-detecting redundant feeds, and delivers a 40% improvement in predictive maintenance data throughput, enhancing operational resilience and safety compliance.
