N9K-C93120TX combines 96 copper access ports with six fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks in a 2U data center switch. The access interfaces support 1/10GBASE-T connections without supplying endpoint power, while the built-in uplinks require no removable uplink card. Cisco Nexus 93120TX hardware serves top-of-rack, middle-of-row and end-of-row server connectivity, including copper-connected blade and rack servers. Its base NX-OS configuration supports static routing, placing the as-shipped software configuration at Layer 2+ rather than fully licensed dynamic routing. The discontinued N9K-C9372TX-E provides 48 copper access ports instead, making access-port density the relevant distinction between these configurations. The N9300 family supports conventional NX-OS operation and an alternative ACI operating mode.
N9K-C93120TX price for new stock is $1,932.00, a 93.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $28,000.00. N9K-C93120TX refurb price is $483.00. N9K-C93120TX is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

2400 Gbps switching capacity provides the internal bandwidth for the copper access and optical uplink interfaces, while forwarding exceeds 750 Mpps. The control plane has 16 GB of DRAM, and the maximum MAC table holds 96000 entries; achievable scale depends on the forwarding mode. 948W maximum input draw sets the circuit-planning ceiling, compared with 542W typical draw. Static routing and HSRP are included without an additional license. N9K-C93120TX supports console access and CLI sessions over SSH or Telnet, with Intelligent API providing JSON or XML remote procedure calls. Cooling uses two N9K-C9300-FAN3 intake or N9K-C9300-FAN3-B exhaust modules. Matching airflow and power-supply types are required; two installed power supplies do not provide PSU redundancy at 110V input. Native 100G uplinks are absent.
ORM Systems supplies N9K-C93120TX new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Choose the condition and specify airflow and software entitlements before submitting the purchase order. ORM's new warranty is up to a 3-year extended term; certified refurbished warranty is up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply; Cisco service ended February 28, 2025. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a global cloud service provider environment, the N9K-C93120TX with 96p 100M/1/10G-T and 6p 40G QSFP is deployed as the leaf switch tier connecting thousands of compute nodes. Its 10G server access ports and 40G uplinks to spine switches deliver sub-microsecond latency, non-blocking throughput, and seamless micro-segmentation for containerized workloads. Benefit: Enables linear capacity scaling to multi-petabit fabrics while maintaining predictable latency and simplifying automated orchestration under Cisco NX-OS.
A large enterprise campus with 5,000+ users and edge IoT devices implements the N9K-C93120TX as the campus core switch. The appliance aggregates access-switch uplinks at 1/10G to support VoIP, HD video conferencing, and sensor traffic while leveraging 40G QSFP uplinks into the data center. Benefit: Provides high port density, deterministic QoS, and advanced security segmentation—driving 30% reduction in jitter and 40% faster mean time to provisioning for new devices.
A colocation provider uses the N9K-C93120TX to offer tenants flexible 1G, 10G, and aggregated 40G connectivity. Each of the 96 RJ-45 ports delivers on-demand bandwidth per customer SLA, while six 40G QSFP uplinks carry cross-rack and peering traffic. Benefit: Maximizes revenue density by offering granular port billing, reduces cable complexity by 50%, and streamlines operations under a unified Cisco NX-OS management plane.
When an installation requires separate electrical feeds, the chassis power arrangement must be specified before purchasing replacement hardware. For n+n redundancy, the two installed power supplies connect to separate power sources. Identify the available feeds and connector requirements, then include the matching power configuration on the purchase order.
When replacement switches pass through a staging bench before installation, Power-On Auto Provisioning can automate software-image upgrades and configuration-file installation during initial deployment. Prepare the image and configuration workflow independently of the hardware order. Specify the intended operating mode and complete the staging checks before releasing equipment to the installation team.
When a maintenance program needs hardware spares across multiple regions, ORM Systems supports regional stock and RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA, including advance replacement. Separate the immediate replacement requirement from the reserve quantity, and specify the required condition, receiving region and RMA arrangement before issuing the purchase order.
100G uplinks to aggregation
N9K-C93120TX has fixed 40G uplinks. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides twelve 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks while retaining 96 copper access ports and a 2U chassis.
Ongoing Cisco hardware support
Cisco support for N9K-C93120TX ended February 28, 2025. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is the migration model for buyers whose procurement requirements exclude hardware beyond Cisco support.
Unlicensed OSPF or BGP routing
Static routing is included, but OSPF and BGP require separately licensed features. A base N9K-C93120TX chassis order does not establish ownership of those routing entitlements.

N9K-C93120TX identifies the Cisco Nexus 93120TX copper-switch configuration, not a 120-port switch. N9K places the model in the Nexus 9000 family, while C93120TX identifies the hardware model. The configuration contains 96 100M/1/10GBASE-T access ports and six fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks, without a software-tier suffix.
N9K-C93120TX supports NX-OS management through a local console, CLI sessions over SSH or Telnet, and Intelligent API remote procedure calls using JSON or XML. ACI provides an alternative APIC-based policy-management mode. Specify the operating mode and matching software entitlement before ordering a replacement unit.
N9K-C93120TX is discontinued and beyond Cisco support: end of sale was February 29, 2020, and the last date of support was February 28, 2025. Security support also ended on that final support date. Reseller availability does not restart Cisco maintenance, security remedies or hardware-support eligibility.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93120TX new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty no longer provides coverage: Cisco service ended February 28, 2025.
Nexus 9300 licensing includes legacy LAN Enterprise entitlements, DCN Essentials, Advantage or Premier subscriptions with three-year minimum terms, and NX-OS Advantage or DCN Advantage perpetual paths. N9K-C93120TX includes static routing without another license, but optional features require their own entitlements. Confirm installed software and ownership before specifying licensed functionality.
N9K-C93120TX replaced the discontinued N9K-C93128TX family: C1-N9K-C93128TX, N9K-C93128TX, N9K-C93128TX-B18Q, N9K-C93128TX-BA, N9K-C93128TX-BA-L3, N9K-C93128TX-BUN, N9K-C93128TX-FA-L3, N9K-C93128TX2, N9K-C93128TX2= and N9K-C93128TX=. Their end-of-sale date was October 30, 2017. N9K-C93120TX also replaced N5K-C5596T=, which ended sale May 5, 2019. The replacement hardware is itself now discontinued and beyond Cisco support.
Cisco Nexus 93120TX provides six built-in 40G QSFP+ optical uplinks, rather than an empty uplink-module bay. An uplink-card purchase is therefore not required for the chassis configuration. Match the optical connection requirements to those fixed interfaces; the hardware does not provide native 100G uplink ports.
N9K-C93120TX includes two power supplies for 1+1 redundancy, with matching supply types required. AC configurations use N9K-PAC-1200W for intake airflow or N9K-PAC-1200W-B for exhaust airflow. PSU redundancy is not supported at 110V input, so specify supply type, airflow and electrical-feed requirements together before ordering.
Cisco Nexus 93120TX occupies 2U and uses two N9K-C9300-FAN3 intake or N9K-C9300-FAN3-B exhaust fan modules. The airflow direction must match the installed power supplies. Specify the chassis orientation and airflow together, and confirm the mounting hardware included with the selected condition before submitting the purchase order.
N9K-C93120TX provides 96 copper access ports, whereas N9K-C9372TX-E provides 48; both configurations have six fixed 40G uplinks. Both models are discontinued. For existing-system replacement, N9K-C93120TX suits the higher copper-port requirement, while N9K-C9372TX-E matches an installed configuration requiring the smaller access-port count.
N9K-C93120TX has built-in optical uplinks, while N9K-C93128TX requires an uplink module; both provide 96 copper access ports. Both are discontinued, and N9K-C93120TX was the migration model for N9K-C93128TX. Their distinction matters for installed-hardware replacement: fixed-uplink requirements differ from retaining an existing modular-uplink configuration.
N9K-C93120TX has six 40G QSFP+ uplinks, while N9K-C93216TC-FX2 has twelve 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. Both retain 96 copper access ports in 2U. The discontinued N9K-C93120TX matches legacy replacement requirements; N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is the migration choice for buyers requiring the higher-speed optical uplink configuration.
N9K-C93120TX-RF is Cisco's remanufactured ordering variant, not ORM Systems' certified refurbishment condition. ORM certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with managed-unit firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the required condition explicitly; neither refurbishment designation restarts Cisco support for the discontinued hardware.
