N9K-C93108TC-EX is a managed Layer 3 data center switch built around dense copper server access: 48 fixed 100M/1/10GBASE-T downlink ports and six fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks in a 1RU chassis. The platform is non-PoE, so its front-panel RJ-45 ports focus on server, appliance, and storage-facing Ethernet rather than powered access endpoints. It belongs to the Cisco Nexus 9300-EX series and operates in NX-OS mode or ACI mode according to the deployment design and installed image. Its main buying distinction is copper 10G density with fixed 100G-ready uplinks, which suits refresh projects that keep RJ-45 server connectivity in place. The fixed layout also removes uplink module selection from initial ordering. N9K-C93180YC-EX is the closest sibling for fiber server access; it differs by using 48 fixed 1/10/25G fiber downlink ports instead of the 48 copper 10GBASE-T downlinks on this model.
2.16 Tbps switching capacity delivers nonblocking bandwidth across the copper downlinks and QSFP28 uplinks. Over 1.6 bpps forwarding rate keeps high-packet-rate server traffic moving through leaf-and-spine paths without shifting the access layer to fiber NICs. BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM and MSDP support lets the platform participate in Layer 3 unicast and multicast designs when the required Cisco license and software release are installed. 64-way ECMP supports Layer 3 fat-tree fabrics, while vPC provides Layer 2 multipathing for dual-homed servers or downstream devices. N9K-C93108TC-EX pairs 24 GB system memory with a 64 GB SSD and 40 MB system buffer for Nexus 9000 control, logging, and telemetry functions. 256,000 MAC address entries and 4096 VLAN support give large Layer 2 domains room to grow under documented scale limits. Minimum images are NXOS-703I4.3 and ACI-N9KDK9-12.0 for release planning. Two management ports, one USB port, and one RS-232 serial port support out-of-band setup, image handling, and console recovery.
N9K-C93108TC-EX works at the data center access tier as a top-of-rack, middle-of-rack, end-of-row, or ACI leaf switch for copper-connected servers, appliances, and Ethernet storage interfaces. The chassis does not use physical stacking; vPC, port channels, and fabric policy handle scale and redundancy while the 1RU form factor keeps rack space predictable in dense rows. Available configurations include AC, DC, HVAC, or HVDC power options, so purchase planning should lock airflow and power input before shipment. ORM Systems supplies this switch new and certified refurbished, with refurb testing focused on boot health, 10GBASE-T port status, QSFP28 uplink status, fan direction, redundant PSU options, and management access.

N9K-C93108TC-EX sits at the top of a rack and terminates copper links from servers, appliances, or storage-facing Ethernet endpoints on 48 10GBASE-T ports. Engineers set server VLANs, routed SVIs, port channels, and QoS policy on the leaf, then forward northbound traffic through six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks toward spine or aggregation switches. The 1RU chassis preserves rack space in dense rows where RJ-45 server adapters remain standard. The deployment delivers high-density 10G copper access without replacing endpoint cabling.
The switch occupies a middle-of-row position and aggregates copper server runs from several nearby racks into one Nexus 9300-EX access point. N9K-C93108TC-EX maps 100M, 1G, or 10GBASE-T endpoints into VLANs or routed links while QSFP28 uplinks carry consolidated traffic to distribution, spine, or core-facing switches. Operations teams standardize fan airflow, redundant power, and cable routing across repeated row builds. The network gains a controlled copper aggregation layer with fewer long uplink paths and clearer rack-to-row boundaries.
In Cisco ACI mode, N9K-C93108TC-EX operates as a leaf switch under APIC policy control and attaches copper endpoints to endpoint groups through 48 10GBASE-T ports. Engineers connect the six QSFP28 uplinks to ACI spine switches, then apply contracts, bridge domains, and routed external connectivity from the APIC model. The hardware keeps legacy copper servers inside the same policy fabric as newer fiber-connected resources. The fabric gains consistent endpoint policy while preserving existing 10GBASE-T access infrastructure.

The Cisco N9K-C93108TC-EX is a Nexus 93108TC-EX data center switch with 48 10GBASE-T copper ports and six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. It is a 1RU fixed-port Nexus 9300-EX platform switch used for high-density copper server access, leaf deployment, and 100G uplink handoff in enterprise data center networks.
N9K identifies the Cisco Nexus 9000 family, C93108TC identifies the 93108TC fixed switch model, and EX identifies the 9300-EX generation. The TC designation refers to copper 10GBASE-T downlink connectivity, separating N9K-C93108TC-EX from fiber-oriented Nexus 9300-EX models such as N9K-C93180YC-EX in data center refresh planning.
N9K-C93108TC-EX is a fixed 1RU data center switch, not a router module or standalone transceiver. It provides wire-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching across 48 copper downlink ports and six QSFP28 uplinks, with Cisco NX-OS or ACI-mode deployment options depending on the installed software image and fabric design.
The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX sits in the Nexus 9300-EX fixed switch lineup for data center leaf, top-of-rack, middle-of-rack, and end-of-row roles. It targets copper 10G server connectivity, while related 9300-EX models such as N9K-C93180YC-EX focus on SFP28 fiber server access and higher aggregate bandwidth for fabric builds.
N9K-C93108TC-EX has 48 fixed 10GBASE-T downlink ports and six fixed QSFP28 uplink ports. The copper downlinks support 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps speeds, while the uplinks support 40G and 100G Ethernet connectivity, including mixed higher-speed breakout options where supported by software, optics, and the Cisco compatibility matrix.
The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX supports 2.16 Tbps of switching bandwidth and a forwarding rate of over 1.6 bpps in Cisco's current Nexus 9300-EX data sheet. That performance profile fits dense 10G copper access designs that need nonblocking forwarding toward 40G or 100G spine, aggregation, or core-facing uplinks.
N9K-C93108TC-EX does not provide PoE or PoE+ on its 48 10GBASE-T ports. It is designed for data center copper Ethernet endpoints such as servers, appliances, and storage-facing devices, not powered access devices. Buyers needing powered multigigabit access should review models such as N9K-C93108TC-FX3P or campus Catalyst access switches.
N9K-C93108TC-EX supports wire-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching as part of the Cisco Nexus 9300-EX platform. Common deployments use VLANs, trunks, routed interfaces, ECMP, VXLAN EVPN, and ACI fabric policy according to the selected Cisco software mode, licensing, and release support for the planned network design.
The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX supports management through Cisco NX-OS CLI, out-of-band management ports, serial console access, and data center automation tools used with Nexus switches. In ACI deployments, Cisco APIC provides policy-driven fabric management. The switch hardware includes management connectivity through one RJ-45 management port, one SFP management port, USB, and RS-232 console access.
N9K-C93108TC-EX does not use Catalyst-style physical stacking such as StackWise. Nexus 9300-EX designs typically use vPC, leaf-spine fabrics, port channels, and centralized automation or APIC policy instead of a single stack control plane. That model suits data center architectures where redundant switches provide active forwarding and independent fault domains.
N9K-C93108TC-EX is used for dense 10G copper data center access where servers or appliances terminate on RJ-45 cabling and uplink toward 40G or 100G aggregation. It is commonly positioned as a top-of-rack, middle-of-rack, end-of-row, or ACI leaf switch when the network design standardizes on Nexus 9000 switching.
N9K-C93108TC-EX fits data center pods, server rows, and network refresh projects that require up to 48 copper 10G endpoints in a single 1RU switch. The six QSFP28 uplinks provide enough high-speed northbound capacity for leaf-spine designs, dual-homed aggregation, or gradual migration from 10G copper access to 100G fabric links.
The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX suits virtualized server clusters, appliance aggregation, storage-adjacent Ethernet traffic, and general data center workloads that remain on 100M, 1G, or 10GBASE-T copper. Its 2.16 Tbps bandwidth and 40 MB system buffer support high-density access traffic patterns without forcing a fiber server NIC migration.
N9K-C93108TC-EX is suitable for Cisco ACI leaf deployment when the installed image, APIC release, and fabric compatibility match Cisco's support matrix. The switch provides 48 copper endpoint-facing ports and six QSFP28 uplinks for spine connectivity, making it practical for ACI fabrics that still need 10GBASE-T server or appliance attachment.
N9K-C93108TC-EX integrates with Cisco Nexus 9000 data center designs, including Nexus 9300 and Nexus 9500 spine or aggregation layers using 40G or 100G uplinks. In policy-driven fabrics, it works with Cisco APIC and ACI software releases that list the 93108TC-EX as supported for the chosen deployment mode.
The six QSFP28 uplink ports on N9K-C93108TC-EX use Cisco-supported 40G or 100G QSFP modules, DACs, AOCs, and breakout options according to the Cisco optics compatibility matrix. Buyers should match the optic type, cable length, fiber mode, and transceiver support to the exact NX-OS or ACI release running in the environment.
N9K-C93108TC-EX supports Ethernet switching roles built around 10GBASE-T copper access, 40G and 100G QSFP28 uplinks, VLAN trunks, link aggregation, routed interfaces, and VXLAN EVPN where supported by the selected Nexus software. ACI deployments add APIC-controlled policy, endpoint groups, contracts, and fabric forwarding behavior for data center segmentation designs.
N9K-C93108TC-EX integrates well with environments that already use copper Ethernet runs for 100M, 1G, or 10GBASE-T endpoints. The switch avoids a mandatory move to SFP28 server adapters, while its QSFP28 uplinks connect the copper access layer into fiber spine, aggregation, or core infrastructure at 40G or 100G.
N9K-C93108TC-EX is the copper 10GBASE-T option, while N9K-C93180YC-EX uses 48 fiber downlinks that support 1G, 10G, or 25G speeds plus six 40/100G uplinks. N9K-C93180YC-EX provides higher aggregate bandwidth at 3.6 Tbps, while N9K-C93108TC-EX better fits existing RJ-45 server cabling refresh projects.
N9K-C93108TC-EX and N9K-C93108TC-FX both provide 48 10GBASE-T copper downlinks and six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. The FX model belongs to a later Nexus 9300-FX generation, so buyers usually compare software lifecycle, feature support, optics support, and budget before choosing between a refurbished EX unit and a newer FX platform.
N9K-C93108TC-EX focuses on 100M, 1G, and 10GBASE-T copper data center access without PoE. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P adds broader multigigabit copper speeds, including 2.5G and 5GBASE-T, and supports PoE. The FX3P model is better aligned with powered multigigabit access, while the EX model fits 10G server copper refreshes.
N9K-C93108TC-EX provides 48 10GBASE-T downlinks and six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks for copper 10G server access. N9K-C9348GC-FXP targets 1GBASE-T access, with 48 100M/1G copper ports, four 1/10/25G SFP28 ports, and two 40/100G QSFP28 ports. N9K-C93108TC-EX is the stronger fit when 10GBASE-T density is the requirement.
