N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 is a managed fiber data center switch with 24 licensed 1/10/25 Gigabit Ethernet downlinks and six fixed 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 uplinks. The Nexus 9300-EX occupies one rack unit and supplies Layer 2 switching in its default software configuration; additional feature licenses enable routed deployments. Its uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied through a removable network card. The discontinued N9K-C93108TC-EX-24 differs by providing copper BASE-T downlinks instead of fiber connections. Within the Cisco Nexus 9000 family, this configuration addresses smaller data center deployments using optical server connections and higher-speed aggregation links.
N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 price for new stock is $2,656.49, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $5,312.98. N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 refurb price is $2,287.95. N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

470W maximum input draw provides the power-circuit sizing figure, while typical consumption is 210W. N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 carries 24 GB of DRAM, 64 GB of SSD storage, and a 40 MB packet buffer. The SSD capacity is separate from working memory and packet buffering. Administrative options include the NX-OS CLI, JSON-based RPC, RESTCONF/NETCONF, and DCNM graphical management. License handling depends on the installed software release: Nexus 9000 deployments running NX-OS 10.2(1) or later use Smart Licensing Using a Policy. Feature entitlement must therefore be checked alongside the selected software release rather than inferred from the chassis identifier.
Specify N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, with the required connection accessories, included hardware, and software rights itemized on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, and optics bay recognition. ORM warranty coverage is up to a 3-year extended term for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, PO payment is accepted, government customers receive Net-30 terms, and RMA service includes advance replacement.

For a staging purchase that must not retain a previous site's setup, certified refurbished managed units have firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Supply the intended configuration and image requirements with the order, then specify any required staging instructions before approving the purchase order.
An existing spare pool needs a complete replacement configuration, not an unspecified bare chassis. N9K-C93180YC-EX24= is a discontinued spare-only variant with excluded hardware. Require the quotation to itemize included components and the intended airflow direction before approving the purchase order rather than accepting an undifferentiated chassis description.
Native copper server access connections
The downlinks are fiber interfaces rather than BASE-T ports. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current copper successor to the discontinued copper counterpart and provides 48 access ports.
Scheduled security fixes during deployment
Scheduled vulnerability and security support ended August 8, 2025. The current replacement, N9K-C93180YC-FX3, also changes the downlink configuration from 24 licensed ports to 48 ports.

N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 identifies a Nexus 9000 fixed switch with 24 licensed fiber downlinks and six QSFP28 uplinks. N9K denotes the platform family, C93180YC identifies the fiber model, EX denotes the 9300-EX generation, and 24 denotes the licensed downlink count rather than the number of physical downlink cages.
N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 supports NX-OS CLI management, JSON-based RPC, RESTCONF/NETCONF, and DCNM graphical management; ACI is an alternative operating mode. Separate RJ-45 and SFP management connections and an RS-232 serial connection provide administrative connectivity. Specify the intended operating mode and management integration before selecting software rights.
Yes, N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 reached end of sale on August 9, 2022. Scheduled vulnerability and security support ended August 8, 2025, and the last date of Cisco support is August 31, 2027. Support through that final date remains subject to applicable entitlement; the replacement is N9K-C93180YC-FX3.
New sealed and certified refurbished N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 units are offered by ORM Systems. New orders include up to a 3-year extended warranty; refurbished orders include up to 1 year. Both have 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate 1-year limited hardware warranty is bounded by its August 31, 2027 support end.
N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 supports NX-OS Essentials or Advantage and ACI Essentials or Advantage perpetual licenses, plus combined ACI/NX-OS Essentials, Advantage, or Premier subscriptions starting at three years. Default software supplies Layer 2 security and management. Select additional feature rights separately from the downlink activation license.
N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 is licensed to use any 24 of its 48 physical downlink ports, together with all six uplinks. N9K-EX-24P-UPG= upgrades the downlink entitlement to 48 ports. Verify that entitlement separately from feature licensing when ordering a unit for an existing rack or spare pool.
The Nexus 9300-EX fiber configuration provides six fixed QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40G and 100G operation. The uplink interfaces are already part of the chassis, so no removable uplink card is required. Match the intended optics and cabling to the selected speed and installed software before specifying connections.
N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 does not include dynamic routing in its default Layer 2 software feature set. Additional licenses enable Layer 3 IP unicast and multicast functions. A routed deployment therefore requires explicit feature entitlement selection; the hardware identifier alone does not establish that the necessary routing rights accompany the order.
The Nexus 9300-EX switch accepts AC, DC, and high-voltage AC/DC configurations. Compatible choices include NXA-PAC-500W-PI, NXA-PAC-500W-PE, NXA-PDC-930W-PI, NXA-PDC-930W-PE, and N9K-PUV-1200W. The chassis supports two supply positions. Require the quotation to identify installed supply quantity, exact part numbers, and airflow rather than assuming a particular factory configuration.
N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 provides licensed 1/10/25G fiber downlinks, whereas N9K-C93108TC-EX-24 provides licensed 100M/1/10G BASE-T downlinks. Both are discontinued configurations. The fiber model suits legacy optical server connections; the copper model corresponds to existing BASE-T racks, so replacement matching must start with the server interface medium.
N9K-C93180YC-EX24= is a discontinued spare variant, while N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 is the configured switch identifier. The spare excludes hardware such as NXK-ACC-KIT-1RU, NXA-PAC-500W-PI, and NXA-FAN-30CFM-F. Complete replacement buyers need an itemized configuration; component-reuse buyers must distinguish the bare spare from an equipped unit.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3 provides 48 1/10/25G downlinks, whereas N9K-C93180YC-EX-24 enables 24 downlinks under its initial port license. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is the current replacement for the discontinued EX configuration. The older model addresses matching legacy installations; the successor addresses replacement purchases requiring the full 48-port downlink configuration.
