Fixed Fiber Connectivity for Data Center Networks
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is a fixed-port fiber data center switch with 48 1/10/25GbE SFP28 downlinks and twelve 40/100GbE QSFP28 uplinks. The base NX-OS configuration provides Layer 2+ operation rather than an automatically licensed Layer 3 deployment. Its 1.2RU chassis belongs to the Cisco N9300-FX2 series and supports NX-OS or ACI operating modes, allowing selection between individually configured switching and policy-based fabric management. The uplinks are built into the chassis, with no removable network card required to provide those connections. Within the family, N9K-C93360YC-FX2 increases fiber downlink density to 96 ports. The 48-port configuration serves server connectivity where existing Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links coexist with newer 25 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 price for new stock is $9,124.50, a 76.8% saving from the Cisco list price of $39,336.00. N9K-C93240YC-FX2 refurb price is $2,351.98. N9K-C93240YC-FX2 is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details
4800 Gbps switching capacity supports a non-oversubscribed fiber configuration, while more than 2500 Mpps forwarding addresses packet-processing requirements separately from link bandwidth. Static routing and HSRP are available without additional licensing; BGP, OSPF, IS-IS and EIGRP require the appropriate entitlement. N9K-C93240YC-FX2 uses Cisco Cloud Scale forwarding silicon with 40 MB of system buffering for bursts and congestion management. Address tables support 256000 MAC entries, while raw IPv4 longest-prefix-match capacity reaches 896000 entries; forwarding-table allocation and software support determine usable scale. The Cisco Nexus 9000 switch provides dedicated RJ-45 and SFP+ management interfaces, keeping configuration connections separate from server-facing ports. Local console access establishes the initial management address before network management begins. 708W maximum input draw is the electrical provisioning figure, compared with 298W typical operation, so power planning should not use typical consumption as the peak requirement.
Ordering
Specify N9K-C93240YC-FX2 in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, with up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty on new units or up to 1 year on certified refurbished units; both conditions carry 30-day returns, terms apply, while Cisco's separate platform hardware warranty is one year. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. List the required condition, quantities and included accessories on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume purchasing, ORM Systems accepts POs, provides Net-30 for government and handles RMAs with advance replacement.

N9K-C93240YC-FX2 Use Case
25G Leaf With 100G Fabric Uplinks
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 operates as a data center leaf switch where 48 1/10/25G fiber ports terminate server, storage, or appliance links and 12 40/100G QSFP28 ports connect toward spine switches. Engineers can run Cisco NX-OS VXLAN EVPN or Cisco ACI policy, then map VRFs, VLANs, vPC domains, port channels, and routing to the fabric design. The 4.8 Tbps bandwidth, 40 MB buffer, and twelve uplinks give racks a strong 25G access layer with enough fabric handoff for dense east-west workloads.
10G To 25G Server Migration
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 fits refresh projects where a rack still contains 10G links but the next server generation moves to 25G SFP28. Network teams can preserve familiar Nexus operations while upgrading optics, cabling, uplinks, and policy in stages. The same chassis supports 1/10/25G downlinks and 40/100G uplinks, allowing mixed-speed access during transition. Procurement should confirm optics, airflow, PSUs, licenses, and rails so the delivered bundle supports both current ports, future migration steps, spare planning, and installation timing windows.
ACI Or NX-OS Fabric Expansion
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 can expand an existing Cisco fabric when more 25G ports and additional 100G uplinks are needed without moving to a larger 96-port chassis. Operations teams choose NX-OS mode for standard Nexus environments or ACI mode for policy-based application fabric control. The platform supports telemetry, API-driven operations, vPC, ECMP, MACsec, and scale profiles subject to software guidance. This makes the SKU useful for adding racks, capacity pods, lab validation blocks, or spare capacity in a controlled data center program.
Best For
Server Network Refresh
During a server-network refresh that retains existing link speeds, FC-FEC and RS-FEC support provide a specific check for the 25G connection plan. Match the server interface, selected optics and error-correction settings before releasing the PO, rather than assuming identical behavior across transceiver choices.
Site Compliance Standardization
When site standards call for NEBS compliance, the physical accessory requirement changes the rack bill of materials. NXA-ACC-BAV2 is required specifically for NEBS compliance, rather than as a general mounting accessory. Confirm that requirement and include NXA-ACC-BAV2 with each applicable site order before approving quantities.
Regional Spare Inventory
Where a sparing plan spans facilities in different regions, ORM Systems supports stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US and MEA. Separate the required spare quantities by receiving facility, identify the receiving region for each line item and specify the destination split before issuing the PO.
Not Suitable If
Native copper server connections
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 uses SFP28 fiber downlinks rather than native RJ-45 server ports. N9K-C93216TC-FX2 provides 96 native copper downlinks, changing both interface type and density.
Strict single-unit rack clearance
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 occupies 1.2 RU, exceeding a strict 1U allocation. N9K-C9336C-FX2-E occupies 1U but changes the connection configuration to 36 QSFP28 ports.

Questions & Answers
What does the N9K-C93240YC-FX2 part number mean?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 identifies a Nexus 9000 fixed switch: N9K denotes the family, C93240YC identifies the model with 48 1/10/25G SFP ports and twelve 40/100G QSFP28 ports, and FX2 identifies the series. The part number does not select a software license tier; additional entitlements are separate order items.
How is the N9300-FX2 series managed?
N9300-FX2 supports the NX-OS CLI, RESTCONF, NETCONF, JSON-based RPC interfaces and DCNM management, or ACI policy-based management. Local console access establishes the initial management address. Select the operating mode and required software entitlement before arranging configuration, controller integration or automated provisioning for the ordered chassis.
Is N9K-C93240YC-FX2 discontinued?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 has no announced hardware end-of-sale milestone. Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for N9300-FX2. Software release retirements and accessory notices are separate from the chassis lifecycle; specify the required operating software and entitlement when placing an order for this model.
What condition and warranty options does ORM Systems offer for N9K-C93240YC-FX2?
New sealed and certified refurbished N9K-C93240YC-FX2 units are available from ORM Systems. New units have up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty; refurbished units have up to 1 year. Cisco's separate platform warranty is 1-year limited hardware. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco warranty eligibility is separate from ORM coverage.
Which licensing options are available for N9K-C93240YC-FX2?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 supports DCN Essentials, Advantage and Premier subscriptions in three-, five- or seven-year terms, with a three-year minimum. Advantage perpetual licenses are available for DCN and NX-OS. Essentials perpetual licenses are no longer sold, and perpetual entitlements are device-bound rather than transferable to another chassis.
What uplinks are built into the Cisco N93240YC-FX2 switch?
Cisco N93240YC-FX2 provides twelve fixed QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40G or 100G operation. These connections are built into the chassis rather than supplied by a removable network card. Match transceiver selection to the chosen speed and software release, and specify the required link media on the PO.
Does N9K-C93240YC-FX2 support redundant power supplies?
Yes, N9K-C93240YC-FX2 uses two internal power modules in a 1+1 arrangement. NXA-PAC-750W-PI and NXA-PAC-750W-PE are compatible AC choices requiring NX-OS 9.3(3) or ACI 14.2 and later. Specify the fitted supply PIDs and matching airflow; compatibility does not establish which supply variant accompanies an individual order.
Can N9K-C93240YC-FX2 perform routing without an additional license?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 supports static routes without an additional license; BGP, OSPF, IS-IS and EIGRP require an appropriate software entitlement. The base configuration is therefore Layer 2+ rather than an automatically licensed Layer 3 purchase. Specify the required routing features and entitlement before ordering the chassis.
What is the difference between N9K-C93240YC-FX2 and N9K-C93360YC-FX2?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 provides 48 fiber downlinks, while N9K-C93360YC-FX2 provides 96. Choose the 48-port model when that connection count covers the planned server population; the 96-port model suits a larger connection inventory that must terminate on one chassis rather than being divided between separate switches.
What is the difference between N9K-C93240YC-FX2 and N9K-C93216TC-FX2?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 uses 1/10/25G fiber downlinks, whereas N9K-C93216TC-FX2 uses native 100M/1/10GBASE-T copper downlinks. The fiber model fits server connections using SFP interfaces; the copper model suits existing twisted-pair server cabling. Confirm the installed server-interface type before selecting between these two chassis for the purchase order.
What is the difference between N9K-C93240YC-FX2 and N9K-C9336C-FX2-E?
N9K-C93240YC-FX2 does not provide native Fiber Channel operation, whereas N9K-C9336C-FX2-E can configure ports for 16/32Gbps Fiber Channel. The Ethernet-only model suits server data links; the FC-capable model addresses purchases requiring native SAN connectivity alongside Ethernet interfaces. Confirm that native Fiber Channel is actually required before choosing the FC-capable chassis.
