N9K-C93108TC-FX3P combines multigigabit copper connectivity with UPoE in a fixed-port data center access switch. Its 48 RJ-45 downlinks support 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G and 10G connections, while six integrated QSFP28 uplinks operate at 40G or 100G. The Nexus 9300-FX3 chassis occupies one rack unit and provides its production interfaces without removable uplink cards. Base NX-OS operation includes switching and static routing, making the unlicensed configuration Layer 2+ rather than a fully entitled dynamic-routing configuration. The neighboring N9K-C93108TC-FX3 has non-PoE downlinks, distinguishing an unpowered copper deployment from one requiring switch-delivered endpoint power. The powered model combines copper attachment and high-speed fiber aggregation within the same chassis.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P price for new stock is $20,414.10, a 42.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $35,446.00. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P refurb price is $4,662.00. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

2160 Gbps switching capacity provides the forwarding fabric for the fixed interfaces, and 1200 Mpps forwarding performance supports packet-intensive traffic. A shared 1920W PoE allocation is available with two NXA-PAC-1900W-PI supplies in nonredundant mode; redundant operation reduces that allocation to 1300W. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P combines 16 GB of DRAM, a 128 GB SSD and a 40 MB system buffer for system operation and traffic buffering. Cisco Cloud Scale forwarding resources support a hardware maximum of 512000 MAC entries and 1792000 IPv4 longest-prefix-match routes; those hardware limits do not grant additional software entitlements. Within the Cisco Nexus 9000 family, programmable operation includes RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI and REST APIs. The four-core control processor handles system processes independently of the forwarding silicon. Operating temperature is 0°C to 40°C, which sets the ambient cooling requirement for installation.
Specify N9K-C93108TC-FX3P as new sealed or certified refurbished, confirming installed supplies, airflow and software entitlements on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, PoE output under load on every powered port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, fan status and clean boot; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. New units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, ORM Systems accepts POs, offers Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock/RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US and MEA.

N9K-C93108TC-FX3P sits at the access leaf and terminates copper runs from devices that operate at 100M, 1G, 2.5G, 5G, or 10G over BASE-T cabling. Engineers place endpoint VLANs, routed interfaces, PoE policy, and QoS controls on the 48 downlink ports, then carry aggregated traffic northbound through six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. The switch keeps mixed-speed copper access inside the Nexus operational model, aligns refresh work with existing cabling across each rack row, and resolves projects where endpoint speed increases before wholesale cabling changes happen.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P operates at an access-to-services edge where powered copper devices require data center switching controls instead of campus access switching. Ports 1 to 48 deliver PoE, PoE+, or UPoE according to the installed power supplies and configured redundancy mode, while 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks connect back to a distribution, spine, or services layer. Network teams standardize power budgets, VLAN boundaries, QoS treatment, routing policy, monitoring, and handoffs on one Nexus platform, which reduces separate powered-access islands in the topology across repeated deployments.
The switch joins a Cisco ACI fabric as a copper-facing leaf for environments that still need RJ-45 server, appliance, or management connections. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P maps endpoint groups and bridge domains to 48 multigigabit BASE-T ports, while the six QSFP28 uplinks carry fabric traffic toward the spine layer. Engineers align the installed image with the minimum ACI release, confirm supported optics, and validate power supplies before onboarding endpoints. The result is policy-based fabric control over copper access without replacing every attached device interface.
A refresh of discontinued N9K-C93108TC-FX hardware starts with its July 31, 2024 end-of-sale milestone and the N9K-C93108TC-FX3P replacement identity. Treat the migration as a new hardware configuration rather than an interchangeable chassis shipment. Confirm the original order contents and specify the complete replacement configuration before issuing the purchase order.
A staging order that must join an existing management network can use either the dedicated RJ-45 management connection or the dedicated SFP management connection. The serial console remains separate from production links. Define the out-of-band cabling and initial console-access procedure before releasing the purchase order.
A multisite rollout with different hot-aisle orientations requires airflow-specific bills of materials rather than one unqualified spare configuration. Pair NXA-FAN-35CFM-PI with NXA-PAC-1100W-PI for port-side intake, or NXA-FAN-35CFM-PE with NXA-PAC-1100W-PE for port-side exhaust. Standardize the selected airflow direction for each site's purchase order.
25G fiber server connections
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P uses copper downlinks capped at 10G. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 provides 48 SFP28 downlinks supporting 25G, but does not provide endpoint PoE.
PoE in fabric extender mode
PoE is unavailable in every FEX operating mode. Powered-device deployments must use a supported switch operating mode rather than treating this chassis as a powered fabric extender.

N9K-C93108TC-FX3P identifies a Nexus 9300-FX3 switch with 48 multigigabit copper downlinks and six 100G QSFP28 uplinks. The complete FX3P ending distinguishes this powered copper model. Software entitlements, airflow direction and power-supply configuration are separate ordering selections rather than a license tier encoded in this hardware PID.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P supports NX-OS CLI access and ACI controller-based management. NX-OS supports SSH and Telnet, while ACI provides the APIC GUI and NX-OS-style CLI. Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller adds centralized automation; RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI and REST APIs support programmable operation. Dedicated management ports and a serial console provide access.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is an available model. Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Nexus 9300-FX3. The July 31, 2024 end-of-sale date belongs to discontinued N9K-C93108TC-FX, not this replacement. Software release lifecycle dates remain separate from the hardware lifecycle and should not be treated as chassis discontinuation dates.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93108TC-FX3P new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Cisco's separate platform warranty is a 1-year limited hardware warranty. Every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P supports base switching and static routes without an additional license. DCN Essentials, DCN Advantage and DCN Premier subscriptions have a three-year minimum, with five- and seven-year terms available. Perpetual Advantage is offered as NXOS-AD-XF for NX-OS or ACI-AD-XF for ACI/NX-OS. Perpetual licenses are nontransferable between devices.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P replaces discontinued N9K-C93108TC-FX and N9K-C93108TC-EX, plus multiple discontinued Nexus 3172TQ and 31108TC variants. N9K-C93108TC-FX reached end of sale July 31, 2024; N9K-C93108TC-EX reached that milestone August 9, 2022. Match the original bundle or spare identifier before approving replacement quantities and accessories.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P provides a shared 1920W PoE budget with two NXA-PAC-1900W-PI supplies in nonredundant mode, or 1300W in redundant mode. The ports support 15W PoE, 30W PoE+ and 60W UPoE. The highest allocation supports 32 ports at 60W, not all 48 simultaneously.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P has six fixed QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40G or 100G connections. A removable network module is not required to obtain those interfaces. Specify the required uplink speed and connection media alongside the chassis configuration so the purchase order covers the intended physical links.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P can run OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS and PIM-SM with appropriate routing entitlements; base NX-OS includes static routing. DCN Essentials includes routing features, while Advantage adds advanced fabric functions. The hardware IPv4 longest-prefix-match maximum is 1792000 routes, separate from the software rights purchased for the device.
The Nexus 93108TC-FX3P accepts NXA-PAC-1100W-PI, NXA-PAC-1100W-PE and NXA-PAC-1900W-PI AC supplies. The chassis supports two power supplies, and the selected supply capacity and operating mode determine available endpoint power. Match supply airflow to the installed fans, and identify the installed supply PIDs explicitly on the purchase order.
The Nexus 9300-FX3 does not provide PoE while operating in FEX mode. For N9K-C93108TC-FX3P, the powered copper interfaces therefore require a supported switch operating mode to deliver endpoint power. Confirm the intended operating mode before assigning powered devices or approving a fabric-extender deployment.
The Nexus 93108TC-FX3P can leave copper interfaces down after reload when affected MI FPGA firmware is installed. FN74095 identifies version 0x10 or lower as affected. Remediation requires fixed NX-OS and EPLD software plus the additional reload needed to recover all ports after installation.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P supplies endpoint PoE, while N9K-C93108TC-FX3 has non-PoE downlinks. Both provide copper access connectivity, but their endpoint-power roles differ. Specify N9K-C93108TC-FX3P when the switch must deliver inline power; select N9K-C93108TC-FX3 for connections whose attached equipment receives power independently.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P provides six QSFP28 uplinks, while N9K-C9348GC-FX3 combines four SFP28 uplinks with two QSFP28 uplinks. The uplink arrangement determines the available mix of connection types. Buyers needing six QSFP28 connections should specify the former; buyers needing SFP28 aggregation interfaces should evaluate the latter's uplink layout.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P has 48 copper downlinks supporting speeds through 10G, while N9K-C93180YC-FX3 has 48 SFP28 downlinks supporting speeds through 25G. The copper model serves BASE-T connections; the SFP28 model serves optical or compatible direct-attach connections. Match the downlink media to the attached equipment before selecting either chassis.
