N9K-C93216TC-FX2 combines 96 copper server-facing ports with twelve fixed QSFP28 uplinks in a managed, non-PoE data center switch. The RJ-45 connections support 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps; the uplinks support 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps without an expansion card. Its 2U rack-mount chassis belongs to the Nexus 9300-FX2 family, with Layer 2+ operation under the base NX-OS entitlement. The sibling N9K-C93360YC-FX2 instead provides 25G-capable fiber downlinks. The Nexus 9000 platform supports standalone NX-OS operation or Cisco ACI policy-based operation, so the intended operating mode remains a separate configuration decision from the hardware identity.

4320 Gbps switching capacity supports the combined copper-access and high-speed uplink interfaces. Over 2500 Mpps forwarding performance provides the packet-processing ceiling for traffic planning. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides IP-addressed command-line management through its out-of-band management connection, with a serial console available for local administration. Static routing, SVIs, and HSRP are included without an additional feature license; dynamic routing requires the corresponding software entitlement. FC/FCoE is not supported on this model. Management connections remain separate from the server-facing and uplink interfaces, allowing administration to use a dedicated network connection rather than an access port.
ORM Systems supplies N9K-C93216TC-FX2 new sealed or certified refurbished; new units include up to a 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished units include up to 1 year, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. Specify condition, airflow, supply configuration, and quantities on the purchase order. POs are accepted, with Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement, plus regional stock and RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

N9K-C93216TC-FX2 sits as a leaf or top-of-rack switch for racks that retain copper server connections. Engineers terminate up to 96 100M/1G/10GBASE-T RJ45 downlinks from servers, appliances, and management interfaces, then connect the 12 QSFP28 uplinks toward 40G or 100G spine switches. NX-OS designs apply VLANs, routed links, vPC, and VXLAN EVPN policy at this layer, with breakout reserved for selected uplink designs and rack boundary planning. The rack gains dense copper endpoint attachment without forcing an immediate migration to SFP-based server adapters.
The switch operates as a Cisco Nexus 9000 leaf in an ACI fabric where APIC policy controls endpoint groups, contracts, bridge domains, and fabric forwarding. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 presents 96 RJ45 downlinks for copper-attached endpoints while its 40/100G QSFP28 ports form spine-facing fabric links. Operators align software release, licenses, transceivers, and cabling with the ACI design before bringing the node into the fabric, then map endpoint ports to policy groups. The topology gains policy-driven copper access inside the same operational model as fiber-based Nexus leaves.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 occupies an end-of-row or aggregation position when multiple copper server rows, appliance clusters, or legacy 10GBASE-T zones feed a higher-speed fabric. Engineers group RJ45 downlinks by VLAN, VRF, or routed boundary, then use 40G or 100G QSFP28 uplinks for northbound paths. vPC and ECMP designs place redundant chassis pairs around the same endpoint population, while 4.32 Tbps bandwidth supports consolidated traffic flows. The network consolidates copper density into fewer Nexus switches while preserving predictable uplink capacity toward the data center core.
Before a staged unit reaches its destination rack, the initial console workflow requires an administrator password of at least eight characters and an assigned management IP address and netmask. Reserve those credentials and addressing details in the staging plan, then specify the console-access arrangements before the purchase order.
When purchasing cold spares for an installed fleet, more than one failed fan rotor can trigger shutdown after two minutes. Replacement cooling parts must match the installed airflow direction. Identify NXA-FAN-160CFM-PI for port-side intake or NXA-FAN-160CFM-PE for port-side exhaust, then specify the matching spare quantity before the purchase order.
25G server-facing connections
The fixed copper downlinks stop at 10G. N9K-C93360YC-FX2 provides 25G-capable fiber access, requiring different server interfaces and cabling rather than retaining the same copper connections.
Dynamic routing without additional licensing
The base NX-OS entitlement includes static routing, not BGP or OSPF. DCN Essentials or Advantage licensing is required for those dynamic routing protocols.

N9K-C93216TC-FX2 identifies a Nexus 9000 fixed switch in the 9300-FX2 family with 96 copper 100M/1G/10GBASE-T connections and twelve 40G/100G QSFP28 connections. The complete model designation identifies that hardware configuration; FX2 identifies the family generation rather than a bundled Essentials or Advantage software tier.
The Nexus 9300-FX2 supports NX-OS command-line administration through a local console or an IP-addressed out-of-band management connection, plus programmable APIs and RESTCONF/NETCONF interfaces. Cisco ACI provides an alternative policy-based operating mode. The management connection is established after initial console configuration assigns the management IP address.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Nexus 9300-FX2. Hardware lifecycle, software-release lifecycle, and service entitlement remain separate considerations; the condition of an ordered unit does not establish the remaining term of any separately purchased Cisco support coverage for that unit.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 supports DCN Essentials, Advantage, and Premier subscriptions with three-, five-, or seven-year terms, plus perpetual Advantage for DCN or NX-OS. Essentials perpetual licenses are no longer sold. Perpetual licenses are not portable between devices, and Smart Licensing requires a Smart Account.
Yes, N9K-C93216TC-FX2 supports 4x10G or 4x25G breakout on uplink ports 97–108, alongside native 40G and 100G operation. Breakout changes the connection arrangement of the fixed QSFP28 interfaces rather than adding an uplink module. The intended connection arrangement determines the required compatible cabling or optics.
No, N9K-C93216TC-FX2 includes static routing, SVIs, and HSRP without an additional license, but dynamic routing requires a suitable entitlement. DCN Essentials includes BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, and IS-IS; Advantage includes those features as well. The hardware part number alone does not establish the purchased routing entitlement.
Yes, N9K-C93216TC-FX2 supports two power supplies in a 1+1 arrangement, including NXA-PAC-1200W-PI or NXA-PAC-1200W-PE for AC configurations. Both supplies must use the same power type and match fan airflow. DC redundancy additionally depends on ambient temperature and the power requirements of the installed optics.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 has a maximum power consumption of 965W and typical consumption of 580W. These figures describe switch consumption rather than a power supply's output rating. Circuit provisioning uses the maximum requirement, while supply output also depends on the selected supply and input voltage.
Yes, the Nexus 9300-FX2 copper switch is a 2U rack-mount design measuring 442 mm wide, 599 mm deep, and 85.9 mm high. The chassis occupies two rack units rather than a desktop footprint. Rack planning therefore includes the chassis depth and the selected airflow direction.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides 10GBASE-T copper downlinks, whereas N9K-C93360YC-FX2 provides 1G/10G/25G fiber downlinks. Copper-server buyers retain RJ-45 connectivity with the former; buyers using fiber server connections and requiring 25G access use the latter. The server interface and cabling requirement distinguishes these two hardware choices.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 accepts NXA-PAC-1200W-PI or NXA-PAC-1200W-PE for AC power, while N9K-C93240YC-FX2 supports NXA-PAC-1100W-PI2 or NXA-PAC-1100W-PE2. Buyers retaining the former need its matching 1200W AC spares; buyers standardizing the latter need its supported 1100W AC supplies. Spare-power purchase orders therefore require the model-specific supply PID.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C93216TC-FX2 new sealed or certified refurbished: new units carry up to a 3-year extended warranty; refurbished units carry up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate platform warranty is a 1-year limited hardware warranty.
