High-Density Fiber Leaf Switching for Data Centers
N9K-C93180YC-FX is a managed Layer 2+ data center leaf switch with 48 fixed SFP28 downlinks for 1/10/25GbE or 16/32G Fibre Channel and six fixed QSFP28 ports for 40/100GbE fabric uplinks. The Cisco Nexus 93180YC-FX runs NX-OS in standalone Nexus environments or ACI mode, giving Nexus 9300-FX racks a 1RU fiber leaf for server, storage, and spine-facing connections. The base platform is non-PoE and uses optics or cables ordered separately for the SFP28 and QSFP28 cages. This 48-port 25G data center leaf switch suits top-of-rack rows that standardize on fiber patching and 100G spine uplinks. N9K-C93108TC-FX is the closest sibling when the access side must be 48 copper 100M/1/10GBASE-T ports instead of SFP28 fiber downlinks.
N9K-C93180YC-FX price for new stock is $3,045.00, a 91.3% saving from the Cisco list price of $35,175.00. N9K-C93180YC-FX refurb price is $1,470.00. N9K-C93180YC-FX is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
3600 Gbps switching capacity and 1200 Mpps forwarding support leaf-to-spine designs with six 100G uplinks populated. 425W maximum input draw, 260W typical draw, and 4 fan trays should be matched to the selected AC, DC, HVAC, or HVDC power option and airflow direction. Static routing, SVIs, and HSRP run without an added license; BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS, PIM, SSM, MSDP, VXLAN BGP EVPN, and VRRP require the appropriate Essentials or Advantage licensing path. N9K-C93180YC-FX has 32 GB system memory, 128 GB storage, a 40 MB system buffer, 512000 MAC entries, and 1792000 IPv4 LPM routes. No chassis stacking is provided; vPC, 64-way ECMP, and port-channel designs handle redundancy and scale in NX-OS fabrics.

N9K-C93180YC-FX Use Case
Top-of-Rack 25G Server Access
Deploy N9K-C93180YC-FX as a top-of-rack leaf switch for racks moving from 10G servers to 25G connectivity. The 48 SFP28 downlink ports support 1/10/25G Ethernet, while six QSFP28 uplinks provide 40/100G paths toward spine or aggregation switches. This profile fits virtualized compute, database, storage Ethernet, and application racks where dense fiber access, low latency, MACsec capability, vPC, ECMP, and NX-OS automation are more important than PoE or campus access features in daily data-center operations. It also supports phased migration without replacing the leaf hardware later.
ACI and NX-OS Fabric Expansion
Use this switch to expand an existing Cisco Nexus 9000 fabric in NX-OS standalone or ACI mode. Its fixed 25G access and 100G uplink design aligns well with spine-leaf architectures, while support for VXLAN EVPN, vPC, telemetry, and programmable interfaces helps teams standardize provisioning and troubleshooting. The model is also useful for sparing or like-for-like replacement where older 93180YC-FX switches remain deployed and the business needs consistent port numbering, airflow options, optics support, and operational behavior across production racks securely.
Storage and Appliance Aggregation
Choose N9K-C93180YC-FX for storage-facing or appliance aggregation racks that need Fibre Channel capable unified ports, high-speed Ethernet, and predictable data-center forwarding. The 48 downlinks can support server, storage, firewall, load balancer, or service-node connections, while the six QSFP28 ports connect upstream at 40G or 100G. With hot-swappable power, fan airflow choices, large hardware scale, and MACsec support on high-speed ports, the switch helps consolidate critical rack connectivity while maintaining Cisco Nexus management, automation, and fabric design consistency over time securely.
Best For
Leaf Refresh
A top-of-rack refresh from N3K-C34180YC can keep 48 fiber server-facing ports while moving to Nexus 9300-FX with six 40/100G QSFP28 fabric ports. Specify optics, airflow direction, NXK-ACC-KIT-1RU, and the required XF license path before the PO.
Converged Storage
A rack that mixes Ethernet hosts and Fibre Channel attachments can use the 48 SFP28 downlink ports as 1/10/25GbE or 16/32G Fibre Channel. Confirm ACI-STRG licensing, transceivers, and whether FC NPV, FCoE NPV, or SAN switching is required before the PO.
Fabric Edge Scaling
A data center leaf that needs high table scale can anchor a VXLAN EVPN design with 512000 MAC entries, 1792000 IPv4 LPM routes, and 64-way ECMP available on the platform. Specify C1E1TN9300XF-3Y or C1A1TN9300XF-3Y when licensed fabric features are required.
Not Suitable If
New Cisco point-of-sale orders
Cisco end of sale for this PID was 31 July 2024; specify N9K-C93180YC-FX3 for a current Cisco replacement with the same 48-port 1/10/25G profile.
Synchronous Ethernet timing
SyncE add-on licensing applies to Nexus 9300-FX3 and FX3S switches, not this FX model; specify N9K-C93180YC-FX3 where SyncE is a requirement.
Native copper server ports
This model uses SFP28 downlink cages rather than RJ-45 server ports; specify N9K-C93108TC-FX3P for 48 copper 100M/1/2.5/5/10GT access ports.

How is N9K-C93180YC-FX managed?
N9K-C93180YC-FX is managed with Cisco NX-OS mode or ACI mode. The hardware provides one RJ-45 management port, one RS-232 serial port, and one USB port, while NX-OS deployments can also use DCNM/NDFC and JSON RPC over HTTP/HTTPS APIs.
Is N9K-C93180YC-FX end of sale?
N9K-C93180YC-FX is end of sale as of 31 July 2024. Cisco listed 30 October 2024 as the last ship date, 31 July 2027 as the end of software maintenance releases, and 31 July 2029 as the last date of support.
What condition and warranty options does ORM offer for N9K-C93180YC-FX?
ORM offers N9K-C93180YC-FX new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco lists a 1-year limited hardware warranty, bounded by the 31 July 2029 last date of support. ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns with terms.
Which licenses apply to N9K-C93180YC-FX?
N9K-C93180YC-FX uses the 10G/25G/40G/100G fixed-platform XF license class. DCN subscription options include C1E1TN9300XF-3Y and C1A1TN9300XF-3Y as 3-year minimum Essentials or Advantage paths. Perpetual Advantage options include NXOS-AD-XF for NX-OS and ACI-AD-XF for DCN.
Which older switches did N9K-C93180YC-FX replace?
N9K-C93180YC-FX was named as a replacement for N3K-C34180YC, N5K-C5672UP-16G, and N5K-C5548UP. The N9K-C93180YC-FX itself later reached end of sale on 31 July 2024 and has N9K-C93180YC-FX3 as its current replacement PID.
Does N9K-C93180YC-FX support PoE?
N9K-C93180YC-FX does not support PoE. The switch is a data center fiber leaf with 48 SFP28 downlink cages and six QSFP28 uplink cages, not RJ-45 powered access ports. Endpoint power must come from separate access switching or external power infrastructure.
How many uplinks does the Nexus 93180YC-FX have?
Nexus 93180YC-FX has six fixed QSFP28 uplink ports. Those ports support 40G and 100G operation, and the platform can also use combinations that include 1G, 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, and 100G connectivity when supported optics or cables are selected.
Can N9K-C93180YC-FX run Fibre Channel?
N9K-C93180YC-FX can use its 48 downlink ports for 16G or 32G Fibre Channel as well as 1/10/25GbE Ethernet. Storage functions such as FC NPV, FCoE NPV, and SAN switching require the appropriate storage licensing, including ACI-STRG for the 48 native Fibre Channel ports.
What is the difference between N9K-C93180YC-FX and N9K-C93108TC-FX?
N9K-C93180YC-FX has 48 1/10/25G SFP downlink ports, while N9K-C93108TC-FX has 48 100M/1/10GBASE-T copper downlink ports. Choose N9K-C93180YC-FX for fiber or Unified Ports racks; choose N9K-C93108TC-FX when server access must stay on RJ-45 cabling.
What is the difference between N9K-C93180YC-FX and N9K-C9348GC-FXP?
N9K-C93180YC-FX uses 500W AC, 930W DC, or N9K-PUV-1200W power-supply options, while N9K-C9348GC-FXP uses 350W AC or 440W DC options. N9K-C93180YC-FX fits higher-speed SFP28 leaf designs; N9K-C9348GC-FXP fits 1GBASE-T data center access.
What is the difference between N9K-C93180YC-FX and N9K-C93180YC-FX3?
N9K-C93180YC-FX3 adds SyncE to the same broad 48-port 1/10/25G and six-port 40/100G profile, while N9K-C93180YC-FX does not have the FX3 SyncE capability. Choose N9K-C93180YC-FX3 for current Cisco ordering or timing-sensitive leaf designs.
Which power supplies work with the Nexus 9300-FX switch?
Nexus 9300-FX support for this model includes NXA-PAC-500W-PI, NXA-PAC-500W-PE, NXA-PDC-930W-PI, NXA-PDC-930W-PE, and N9K-PUV-1200W. The chassis supports up to two power supplies, and the selected PID should match the required input type and airflow direction.
