N3K-C3048TP-1GE Overview
N3K-C3048TP-1GE is a managed Cisco Nexus 3048 top-of-rack switch built for line-rate Gigabit Ethernet rack access in data center fabrics. It provides Layer 3 switching capability through Cisco NX-OS licensing, with 48 fixed 10/100/1000-Mbps RJ-45 ports for copper server, appliance, and management links. Four fixed 1/10-Gbps SFP+ uplinks handle aggregation or core handoff without a modular bay or separate uplink module, which keeps the ordered port layout fixed at purchase. The platform is non-PoE, occupies 1U in a rack, supports forward or reversed airflow builds, and belongs to the Cisco Nexus 3048 series. This layout targets racks that retain 1G copper endpoints while standardising uplinks on SFP+ optics or DAC cables. N3K-C3048-1PS is the closest same-platform sibling; its differentiating spec is a single power supply, while this SKU is specified with 2 redundant power supplies.
176 Gbps switching capacity supports line-rate traffic across the copper access ports and fixed SFP+ uplinks. 132 mpps forwarding rate keeps Layer 2 and licensed Layer 3 flows moving at rack scale, with jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes for storage, replication, and east-west traffic. No PoE budget applies to the non-PoE RJ-45 access design, so endpoint power remains outside the switch. Static routing, RIP v2, EIGRP, OSPFv2, BGP, HSRP, VRRP, PIM-SM, and SSM operate when the relevant Nexus 3048 Layer 3 license is installed. N3K-C3048TP-1GE also provides 9 MB shared buffers, 2 GB boot flash, two 10/100/1000-Mbps management ports with one active, console access, USB flash, SNMP v1/v2/v3, XML and NETCONF, Cisco DCNM support, STP/RSTP/MSTP, LACP, vPC, and IEEE 1588 boundary clock operation. 128000 MAC address entries, 4096 VLANs, 52 EtherChannels with vPC, and 16 ports per EtherChannel define the scale envelope. 124W maximum power consumption keeps power planning separate from PoE calculations.
N3K-C3048TP-1GE fits the data center access tier where 1G RJ-45 servers, appliances, storage interfaces, or management devices need a compact rack-edge handoff to 10G SFP+ aggregation. It is not a stackable campus switch; scale-out designs use separate Nexus ToR switches with vPC, PortChannel, routed links, and 1U rack placement per switch. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, and refurbished units are tested for NX-OS boot, RJ-45 and SFP+ port operation, fan status, PSU health, airflow direction, and management access before dispatch. Airflow-matched fan and power options help buyers align port-side intake or exhaust with hot-aisle and cold-aisle layouts. Submit the required quantity, PSU type, airflow direction, optics, and warranty target for pricing; enterprise and volume buyers gain a consistent source for rack refreshes, spares pools, and lifecycle-extension projects. Volume quotes include matched optics, DACs, spare fans, and spare PSUs for repeated racks.
N3K-C3048TP-1GE price is $3,457.00, a 75.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $14,287.00. N3K-C3048TP-1GE is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

N3K-C3048TP-1GE Use Case
Server Access ToR Handoff
N3K-C3048TP-1GE sits at the top of a rack and terminates 1G copper server, appliance, or management links on 48 fixed 10/100/1000-Mbps RJ-45 ports. Network teams place VLAN trunks, PortChannels, vPC policy, jumbo-frame settings, and security controls at this access layer, then carry northbound traffic over four 1/10-Gbps SFP+ uplinks. Cisco NX-OS keeps operational behavior consistent with upstream Nexus switches. The result is a compact 1RU rack edge that preserves copper server connectivity while presenting controlled 10G uplink handoff per rack.
Routed Rack Boundary
The switch anchors a rack boundary where 1G server-facing segments need local Layer 2 control and licensed Layer 3 handoff toward aggregation. Engineers configure SVIs, routed ports, PortChannels, static routes, OSPF, EIGRP, or BGP according to the installed N3K-C3048-BAS1K9 or N3K-C3048-LAN1K9 license. N3K-C3048TP-1GE supports 48 copper endpoints, 4 SFP+ uplinks, 32-way ECMP, HSRP, VRRP, and VRF-lite in that routed design. The result is deterministic rack segmentation with upstream path control inside a Nexus operating model for repeated rack builds across sites.
Monitoring Aggregation Point
N3K-C3048TP-1GE occupies a monitoring aggregation role when tap or SPAN sources arrive from 1G copper links and analysis tools connect through SFP+ uplinks. Operators use Cisco Nexus Data Broker with NDB-FX-SWT-K9 licensing to filter, replicate, tag, and forward selected traffic from physical ports, PortChannels, or VLAN sources. The 48 RJ-45 ports collect distributed rack feeds, while four 10G uplinks move tool-bound traffic toward packet brokers or analyzers. The result is structured visibility for legacy 1G racks without dedicating production uplink switches to monitoring collection.

N3K-C3048TP-1GE fits single-rack or repeated-rack deployments that need dense 1G copper ports with 10G uplinks. It is most relevant where servers, out-of-band devices, or appliances retain RJ-45 interfaces and the design does not require 10G copper downlinks on every server-facing port or a rack-level management network.
What workloads suit Cisco Nexus 3048?
The switch suits rack-level server access, management network aggregation, tap or SPAN aggregation with Cisco Nexus Data Broker licensing, and transitional environments moving 1G copper racks toward 10G uplinks. The 9 MB shared buffer, jumbo-frame support, Layer 2 controls, and optional Layer 3 routing features give network teams familiar Nexus tools at the 1G rack edge.
Does N3K-C3048TP-1GE work in a Nexus fabric?
N3K-C3048TP-1GE works in data center top-of-rack and aggregation-adjacent roles where upstream switches are Cisco Nexus 5000, 7000, 9000, or other standards-based Ethernet platforms. The switch uses NX-OS and standards such as 802.1Q, 802.3ad LACP, LLDP, SNMP, and BGP or OSPF when licensed for routed operation.
Which optics and cables are compatible with Cisco Nexus 3048 uplinks?
Cisco lists SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-SR-S, SFP-10G-LR, SFP-10G-LRM, SFP-10G-ZR, SFP+ DWDM, SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M, SFP-H10GB-CU5M, active Twinax, and SFP-10G-AOC cable options for Nexus 3048 uplinks. Optic choice should match fiber type, distance, upstream Nexus port support, and internal standards for approved transceiver coding.
Which management platforms integrate with N3K-C3048TP-1GE?
The switch integrates with Cisco NX-OS operations, Cisco DCNM management, Cisco Nexus Data Broker, SNMP monitoring platforms, syslog collectors, RADIUS, TACACS+, and NETCONF or XML automation tooling.
