N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is a high-density managed Layer 3 data center switch for copper-heavy server access in the Cisco N9300-FX2 Series. It provides 96 fixed 100M/1G/10GBASE-T RJ45 data ports for twisted-pair connections and 12 fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports for fabric, spine, or aggregation links. Because the uplinks are fixed, buyers do not need separate network modules to activate the QSFP28 slots, although optics and cables are selected separately for the target fabric speed. The platform is non-PoE, so its copper interfaces carry Ethernet data rather than endpoint power. A 2RU rack-mount chassis fits dense data center rows where rack teams want copper endpoint density without moving every server or appliance to SFP-based adapters. N9K-C93360YC-FX2 is the closest high-density sibling, differing with 96 fixed 1/10/25G SFP downlink ports instead of this model's 96 fixed 100M/1G/10GBASE-T RJ45 downlink ports.
4.32 Tbps switching capacity delivers the bandwidth required for dense leaf and aggregation roles with a large copper endpoint population. More than 2.5 bpps forwarding performance supports high packet-rate traffic across east-west server flows and northbound 40G or 100G paths. 965W maximum power consumption defines rack power provisioning under peak conditions, while hot-swappable PSU options support redundant power design. Layer 3 operation includes documented support for BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM, and MSDP when the correct Nexus 9000 software and licensing are installed. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 uses up to 24 GB of system memory, a 128 GB SSD, and a 40 MB system buffer for Nexus control-plane and telemetry functions. 256000 MAC address entries, 4096 VLANs, 64 ECMP paths, and 512 port channels support large Layer 2 domains and routed fabric scale. Management access is available through one RJ45 management port, one SFP management port, one console port, and one USB port, while NX-OS and ACI operating modes support traditional Nexus deployments and policy-driven fabric designs.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 sits at the data center leaf, top-of-rack, or end-of-row tier, connecting copper servers, appliances, storage-adjacent Ethernet devices, and management networks into higher-speed Nexus fabrics. The switch is not a physical stacking platform; resilient designs use vPC, ECMP, port channels, and routed leaf-spine architecture instead of StackWise-style chassis stacking. Two rack units reserve space for the chassis, airflow path, fan modules, and redundant power supply modules in hot-aisle or cold-aisle layouts. ORM Systems supplies this model new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units checked for boot status, RJ45 and QSFP28 port operation, fan health, PSU status, and management access before dispatch. Request a quote for unit condition, airflow direction, power supply type, licensing, optics, and volume pricing; enterprise buyers can align matched pairs, spares, and bulk switch refreshes through one procurement path.

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.

N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is a Cisco Nexus 93216TC-FX2 fixed-port data center switch for high-density copper server access and leaf deployments. It provides 96 100M/1/10GBASE-T RJ45 downlink ports and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports in a 2RU chassis, giving network teams a Nexus 9000 platform for NX-OS or ACI environments.
The N9K prefix identifies a Cisco Nexus 9000 switch, while C93216TC-FX2 identifies the Nexus 93216TC-FX2 hardware model. The TC designation reflects copper 10GBASE-T downlink connectivity, and FX2 places the unit in Cisco's Nexus 9300-FX2 generation with Cloud Scale ASIC architecture, high Layer 2 and Layer 3 scale, and 100G uplink options.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is a complete fixed-port managed data center switch, not an expansion module, cable, or optical transceiver. The chassis includes the switching hardware, RJ45 server-facing ports, QSFP28 uplink ports, management interfaces, console access, USB port, hot-swappable fan modules, and power supply bays required for Nexus 9000 rack deployment.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 sits in the Cisco Nexus 9300-FX2 family, a fixed Nexus 9000 platform built for data center leaf, top-of-rack, and fabric deployments. It is the copper-heavy FX2 option, pairing 96 100M/1G/10GBASE-T RJ45 ports with 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks for environments retaining twisted-pair server cabling and 100G fabric growth.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 has 96 100M/1G/10GBASE-T RJ45 downlink ports and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports.

N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is not a Catalyst-style StackWise access switch and is not normally deployed as a physical stack. Nexus data center designs use technologies such as vPC, ECMP, routed leaf-spine fabrics, and ACI policy constructs to create resilient multi-switch topologies while keeping each Nexus 93216TC-FX2 as an independently managed fabric node.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is used for dense copper data center switching where many 1G or 10G RJ45 endpoints need high-speed uplinks. Common roles include top-of-rack server access, end-of-row copper aggregation, migration from older 10GBASE-T switches, and leaf switching in NX-OS or ACI fabrics with 40G or 100G spine connectivity.
Cisco Nexus 93216TC-FX2 fits data centers that need a high 10GBASE-T port count in a single 2RU chassis. Its 96 copper downlinks suit dense racks or aggregation points, while 12 QSFP28 uplinks support larger fabric designs. Smaller wiring closets or PoE endpoint networks usually align better with Catalyst access switches.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 suits virtualized server clusters, appliance farms, storage-adjacent Ethernet networks, management networks needing high port density, and cloud-scale data center fabrics. Its 100M/1G/10GBASE-T downlinks preserve copper server connections, while 40G and 100G QSFP28 uplinks carry east-west and northbound traffic toward spine, aggregation, or core switching layers.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is part of the Cisco Nexus 9000 platform that Cisco positions for both NX-OS mode and Cisco ACI mode. In an ACI design, it operates as a fabric switch under APIC policy control, with exact feature support, software image, and licensing checked against the chosen ACI release.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 integrates with Cisco Nexus 9000 data center environments, including Nexus 9300 leaf switches, Nexus 9500 modular platforms, and ACI fabrics managed by Cisco APIC. It also fits NX-OS deployments alongside Nexus spine or aggregation switches that support matching 40G or 100G Ethernet uplinks and Cisco-supported transceivers.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 uses 12 QSFP28 uplink ports that operate at 40G or 100G speeds and support breakout on ports 97 through 108 for 4x10G or 4x25G designs. Compatible Cisco QSFP, QSFP28, DAC, AOC, and breakout options should be validated in Cisco's transceiver compatibility matrix before ordering.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 supports data center Ethernet standards and Cisco Nexus software features, including VLANs, vPC, VXLAN EVPN, BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, PIM-SM, SSM, MSDP, ECMP, MACsec on ports operating at 1G or higher, telemetry features, and automation interfaces, with support dependent on the installed software release.
Cisco Nexus 93216TC-FX2 fits Cisco NX-OS operational environments, Cisco ACI fabrics with APIC, and automation workflows using RESTCONF, NETCONF, OpenConfig, JSON-RPC, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or Salt. It also aligns with Nexus data center monitoring and assurance tools where the selected software release supports the required telemetry and policy features.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 is the copper option with 96 100M/1G/10GBASE-T RJ45 ports and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. N9K-C93240YC-FX2 provides 48 1/10/25G fiber downlinks and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks in a 1.2RU chassis. The choice depends mainly on copper server cabling versus SFP-based fiber or DAC server connections.
N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides 96 RJ45 100M/1G/10GBASE-T downlinks for copper environments, while N9K-C93360YC-FX2 provides 96 1/10/25G SFP-based downlinks and 12 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks.
