N9K-C93180YC-FX3H provides 24 licensed 1/10/25G fiber downlinks and six fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks for data center server connectivity. The hardware contains 48 downlink positions, but the base configuration authorizes any 24; activating the remaining positions requires an additional license. Default software provides Layer 2 switching, with advanced routing enabled through separate licensing. The Nexus 9300-FX3H belongs to the fixed Cisco Nexus 9000 family and supports both NX-OS and ACI operating modes. Unlike the copper-access N9K-C93108TC-FX3H, this model connects server-facing links through fiber interfaces.

600W maximum input draw establishes the upper electrical planning figure, compared with 325W typical consumption. N9K-C93180YC-FX3H includes 16 GB of system memory and a 40 MB packet buffer. Cisco Cloud Scale forwarding silicon underpins the hardware, while four fans provide active cooling. NX-OS management includes a CLI and programmable interfaces, with DCNM providing graphical infrastructure management. SyncE and PTP boundary-clock functionality address timing requirements at telecommunications data center edges. The base software does not include advanced Layer 3 routing entitlement.
Specify N9K-C93180YC-FX3H in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, with the required airflow, power configuration, and software entitlement on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port linking, clean boot, optics recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. For enterprise and volume orders, PO is accepted, government buyers receive Net-30 terms, and RMA includes advance replacement.

When adding hardware to an existing NX-OS estate, the installed image must support the incoming generation rather than merely match an older switch. This model requires NX-OS 10.3.1 or later. Confirm the approved image, deployment mode, and corresponding software entitlement before releasing the purchase order.
When a data center edge deployment requires network timing alongside server connectivity, this model supports SyncE and PTP boundary-clock operation with standard PTP Telecom profiles. Treat timing behavior as a separate acceptance requirement from ordinary Ethernet connectivity, and specify the required timing configuration before ordering.
Native copper server access connections
The server-facing interfaces are fiber rather than BASE-T. N9K-C93108TC-FX3H provides copper downlinks in a separate configuration with a lower maximum downlink speed.
Forty-eight active downlinks without an upgrade
The base configuration authorizes only 24 downlinks. N9K-C93180YC-FX3 provides the 48-port configuration; retaining this model requires the separate port-activation upgrade.
Advanced routing without additional licenses
The default software provides Layer 2 functionality. Additional licenses are required for Layer 3 IP unicast and multicast routing, so hardware alone does not meet this requirement.

N9K-C93180YC-FX3H identifies a fixed Nexus 9000 configuration with 24 licensed 1/10/25G fiber downlinks and six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. The complete identifier matters when ordering: this configuration contains additional physical downlink positions that are not all activated by the base port entitlement.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3H supports NX-OS management through its CLI and programmable interfaces, with DCNM providing graphical infrastructure management; ACI is another supported operating mode. The hardware includes an RJ-45 management connection and an RS-232 serial connection. Specify the intended operating mode when preparing the configuration and software entitlement.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Nexus 9300-FX3H. N9K-C93180YC-FX3H is a replacement for the discontinued N9K-C93180YC-FX-24, rather than an affected product in that predecessor's retirement announcement. The predecessor's July 31, 2024 end-of-sale milestone must not be applied to this replacement.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93180YC-FX3H new sealed or certified refurbished. ORM warranty coverage is up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco separately provides a 1-year limited hardware warranty.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3H supports perpetual NX-OS Essentials and Advantage licenses, plus Essentials, Advantage, and Premier subscriptions starting at three years. Default software supplies Layer 2 functionality; advanced functions require additional entitlement. The port-count upgrade is separate from feature licensing, so both requirements belong in the software review.
Yes, N9K-C93180YC-FX3H can activate all 48 downlinks with N9K-FX3-24P-UPG=. The base entitlement authorizes any 24 downlinks while retaining access to the six uplinks. Count the required active server connections before ordering rather than treating every physical downlink position as already licensed.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3H provides fiber downlinks reaching 25G, whereas N9K-C93108TC-FX3H provides BASE-T copper downlinks reaching 10G. Both configurations authorize 24 downlinks and include six 40/100G uplinks. The fiber model suits optical server connections; the copper model addresses servers requiring native BASE-T connections.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3H authorizes 24 downlinks initially, while N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is the 48-downlink configuration. The distinction is the initial active downlink count, not the presence of additional physical positions. Choose the half-port configuration for a smaller initial connection requirement or the full configuration when all downlinks are required immediately.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3H requires NX-OS 10.3.1 or later, while N9K-C93180YC-FX-24 supports NX-OS 9.3(2) or later. The latter is discontinued, with end of sale on July 31, 2024, and names the FX3H model as its replacement. Existing older-image estates need an image review before adopting the replacement.
The N9K-C93180YC-FX3H configuration has 600W maximum and 325W typical input consumption. Use the maximum figure when allocating electrical capacity rather than treating typical consumption as a ceiling. Power-supply output ratings describe the supply, not the amount of input power the complete switch continuously draws.
