N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is a Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E Layer 2 fabric extender for data center racks, with 48 100/1000BASE-T host interfaces and four fixed 10G SFP+ fabric interfaces for attachment to a parent Nexus switch. The 1RU Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender is managed through its upstream platform rather than as a standalone access switch, and the host ports are non-PoE Gigabit Ethernet for copper server or appliance connections. The Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E adds a 32 MB shared buffer to the 48-port Gigabit fabric extender design. N2K-C2248TF-E uses the same port layout and includes 8 FET-10G transceivers, while this base configuration requires fabric optics or cables separately.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE price for new stock is $367.50, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $735.00. N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE refurb price is $72.43. N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

176 Gbps switching capacity and 131 Mpps hardware forwarding support the 48 host-facing copper ports and four fabric-facing 10G links without local Layer 3 routing. 40 Gbps in each direction is available across the fabric interfaces, with 1.2:1 oversubscription on the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E. N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE uses in-band management through the parent Nexus switch, including DCNM, standard SNMP, XML interface and CLI access. Layer 2 capabilities include VLAN trunks, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation, Cisco EtherChannel on uplinks, PortChannel on server ports, jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes and local multicast replication on Cisco Nexus 2200 platforms. Typical input operating power is 95W, with 110W maximum draw, and the chassis uses hot-swappable power supplies with 1:1 power redundancy.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is available from ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished hardware. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, SFP+ optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; managed units are also firmware verified and wiped to factory default. Add this switch, required SFP+ fabric optics or cables, and matching airflow power parts to the purchase order. New units can carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and 30-day returns apply to every condition, terms apply; PO is accepted, Net-30 is available for government, RMA includes advance replacement, and regional stock or RMA coverage spans UK, EU, US and MEA.

A site with existing Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000 or 9000 parent switches can use the fabric extender to keep 48 100/1000BASE-T host connections on the same operational model. Check the airflow direction and power-supply type before the PO so the spare matches the rack row.
A refresh that reuses copper server connections still needs four 10G fabric links back to the parent switch. Specify FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR, SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M or SFP-H10GB-CU5M separately when the order is not the transceiver bundle.
A data center standard that still depends on Nexus 2000 fabric extenders has a defined support window ending 31 August 2027. Size spares around the 110W maximum draw, one fan module and dual power supplies, then record the support date in the asset plan.
Standalone switching
Nexus 2248TP-E operates as a fabric extender managed through a parent Nexus switch, not as an independent switch. N9K-C9348GC-FXP is the named replacement for standalone Nexus 9300 operation.
10G host connections
The host interfaces are 48 fixed 100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports, while the 10G SFP+ ports are fabric interfaces. For 10G server attachment, select a platform with 10G host ports.
PoE endpoints
The RJ-45 host ports do not provide PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ power. Use a PoE-capable access switch for phones, cameras, wireless access points or other powered endpoints.

N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is a Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E 1 Gigabit Ethernet Fabric Extender with 48 100/1000BASE-T host ports and four 10G SFP+ fabric interfaces. The unit connects to a supported parent Nexus switch and extends that switch fabric to copper server access ports.
N2K identifies the Nexus 2000 fabric extender family, C2248TP-E identifies the Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E hardware, and 1GE identifies the 1 Gigabit Ethernet configuration. The product description also states 2 power supplies, 1 fan module, 48 100/1000-T ports and four 10GE fabric interfaces.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is managed through the parent Cisco Nexus switch, not as an independent switch. Management paths include DCNM, standard SNMP, XML interface and CLI through the upstream Nexus platform, with the fabric extender behaving like a remote line card.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE reached end of sale on 24 August 2022, and Cisco support ends on 31 August 2027. The listed replacement PID is N9K-C9348GC-FXP, a Nexus 9300 switch with 48 100M/1GT ports plus higher-speed uplinks.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is offered by ORM Systems as new sealed or certified refurbished hardware. Cisco service for the platform ends 31 August 2027; ORM warranty options are up to 3-year extended on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns, terms apply.
No, N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE cannot operate as a standalone access switch. The fabric extender connects through its 10G fabric interfaces to a supported parent Nexus switch, and the parent provides management, configuration and feature control for the host-facing ports.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE has 48 100/1000BASE-T RJ-45 host interfaces and four 10G SFP+ fabric interfaces. The RJ-45 ports are for host attachment, while the SFP+ ports are fabric links toward the parent Nexus switch and require suitable optics or cables.
Nexus 2248TP-E fabric interfaces support FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-SR-S, SFP-10G-LR, SFP-10G-LR-S, SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M, SFP-H10GB-CU5M, SFP-H10GB-ACU7M and SFP-H10GB-ACU10M. The base configuration requires these fabric optics or cables separately.
Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E is supported with Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000 and 9000 Series parent switches. Parent-switch software minimums vary by family, so the fabric extender should be matched to the installed Nexus platform and NX-OS release before ordering.
No, N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE does not support PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ on its RJ-45 host interfaces. The 48 copper ports are 100/1000BASE-T data ports for host connectivity, so phones, access points, cameras and other powered endpoints need a different PoE-capable switch.
N2K-C2248TF-E includes 8 Fabric Extender Transceivers, while N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is the base 48-port copper model with four 10G fabric interfaces that require optics or cables. Choose N2K-C2248TF-E when the fabric-link transceiver bundle is required on the same purchase.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE has 48 100/1000-T host ports and four 10GE fabric interfaces, while N2K-C2224TP-1GE has 24 100/1000-T host ports and two 10GE fabric interfaces. The 2248TP-E model suits higher copper density in the same FEX architecture.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is a Nexus 9300 switch with 48 100M/1GT ports, four 10/25G SFP28 ports and two 40/100G QSFP28 ports; N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE is a fabric extender with four 10G SFP+ fabric interfaces. The N9K model suits standalone switching.
N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE draws 95W typical input operating power and 110W maximum. The chassis ships in configurations with two power supplies and one fan module, with compatible airflow choices using N2K-C2248-FAN or N2K-C2248-FAN-B matched to the selected power supplies.
