N5K-C5010P-LAB-E provides 20 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ interfaces in a managed Layer 2 data center switch. Server-facing connections and network links use the same Ethernet interface architecture, while one optional expansion position accepts additional Ethernet or native Fibre Channel connectivity. The Cisco Nexus 5010 occupies one rack unit and uses active cooling for top-of-rack installation; this is a non-PoE design, not a powered-endpoint access switch. NX-OS supplies the operating environment for Ethernet switching. N5K-C5010P-LAB-S is the discontinued Unified Fabric Solutions Kit, distinct from this Ethernet-focused bundle. Within the Nexus 5000 family, this configuration serves buyers maintaining an existing server-access environment or reproducing its behavior in a lab, with interface media and installed expansion hardware determining the final connection mix.

520 Gbps switching capacity provides the Nexus 5010 fabric capacity for its fixed and expansion interfaces. 410W maximum system consumption sets the ceiling for rack power planning; the separate 340W typical operating figure should not replace that ceiling when sizing power allocation. N5K-C5010P-LAB-E supports serial-console access and an out-of-band Ethernet management connection, separating administration from server-facing traffic. Two N5K-PAC-550W supply positions support redundant power configurations, while two N5K-C5010-FAN= modules contain twelve fans and move air from front to back. Position the air intake toward the cold aisle. The operating range is 0°C to 40°C, making cabinet temperature part of installation planning. Additional Ethernet connectivity uses N5K-M1600 or N5K-M1404; native Fibre Channel connectivity requires compatible expansion hardware and the appropriate storage-service entitlement. Inter-VLAN routing is not a capability of this model.
ORM Systems offers N5K-C5010P-LAB-E new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, and installed N5K-PAC-550W status, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify this switch's condition, quantity, expansion hardware, and interface media on the PO. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units up to 1 year, and both conditions have 30-day returns, terms apply; Cisco hardware coverage and service ended November 30, 2017. PO acceptance, government Net-30, and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume orders.

When a lab must reproduce both legacy Gigabit server connections and 10G links, the first eight fixed interfaces support both speeds. Use that restriction to map mixed-speed patching rather than treating every cage identically. Specify the required interface media and port assignments before the purchase order.
When an existing Nexus 5010 installation needs a like-for-like spare, the physical configuration matters alongside the chassis name. Regional stock and RMA coverage span the UK, EU, US, and MEA. Match the installed expansion hardware, N5K-PAC-550W quantity, and interface media on the purchase order.
Vendor-supported hardware for production deployment
N5K-C5010P-LAB-E passed its last support date on November 30, 2017. The subsequent Ethernet migration chain reaches N9K-C93180YC-FX3, which changes density to 48 server-facing ports.
40G or 100G Ethernet uplinks
The Nexus 5010 is limited to 10G Ethernet interfaces. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 provides six 40G/100G interfaces and 48 server-facing ports, so the connection layout also changes.

N5K-C5010P-LAB-E identifies the Nexus 5010 Ethernet Lab Bundle. The LAB-E ending distinguishes the Ethernet lab configuration rather than naming a software license tier. Keep the complete part number on the purchase order so the quoted bundle is not confused with another Nexus 5010 configuration or a bare chassis.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-E provides 20 fixed 10G Ethernet SFP+ ports on the Nexus 5010 chassis. A separate expansion position accepts compatible hardware for additional connections. The fixed interfaces are not RJ-45 copper access ports, so the purchase order must distinguish the chassis from the interface media required for each connection.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-E is managed locally through its serial console and remotely through its out-of-band Ethernet management connection. The switch runs NX-OS and requires configuration rather than operating as an unmanaged device. Specify management-network addressing and console access separately from the server-facing Ethernet connections when planning the installation.
The Nexus 5010 Ethernet Lab Bundle uses NX-OS, while N5010-SSK9 identifies the separate Nexus 5010 Storage Protocols Services License. Ethernet switching and storage services are different ordering decisions. A storage-enabled configuration requires the appropriate entitlement and compatible hardware; the Ethernet Lab Bundle name alone does not establish those items.
The Cisco Nexus 5010 supports two N5K-PAC-550W AC power supplies for redundant operation. Maximum system consumption is 410W, not the combined supply nameplate rating. Confirm the N5K-PAC-550W quantity included in the quoted bundle and match the power connections to the site's power distribution arrangement.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-E is discontinued: end of sale was November 27, 2012, and Cisco support ended November 30, 2017. The switch is therefore a legacy-equipment purchase, not a currently supported Cisco product. Buying new sealed or refurbished inventory does not restart the manufacturer's service lifecycle.
ORM Systems offers N5K-C5010P-LAB-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty ended with support on November 30, 2017.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-E is the Ethernet Lab Bundle, whereas N5K-C5010P-LAB-S is the Unified Fabric Solutions Kit. Both are discontinued Nexus 5010 orderables; the latter is not a current replacement. Ethernet lab buyers and buyers reproducing an existing unified-fabric configuration must match the quoted hardware and license entitlements to their respective requirements.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-E provides 20 fixed Ethernet ports, while N5K-C5020P-LAB-E provides 40 fixed Ethernet ports. Both are discontinued Ethernet lab bundles, so the comparison concerns matching an existing environment rather than selecting current hardware. The former suits a smaller legacy port map; the latter suits a denser legacy port map.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3 supports 1/10/25G server interfaces, whereas N5K-C5010P-LAB-E is limited to 10G Ethernet. The original lab bundle is discontinued and does not become a 25G switch through expansion. The legacy model suits reproducing an existing lab; the newer model suits an Ethernet migration requiring faster server links.
N5K-C5010P-LAB-E accepts one compatible expansion module: N5K-M1600 for six additional 10G Ethernet ports, N5K-M1404 for four 10G Ethernet and four 4/2/1G Fibre Channel ports, or N5K-M1008 for eight 4/2/1G Fibre Channel ports. The single expansion position prevents installing those modules together.
