Copper Access Switching for Data Center Networks

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 combines 48 Gigabit copper access ports with fixed SFP28 and QSFP28 uplinks in a 1U data center switch. The base NX-OS configuration provides Layer 2+ operation with static routing; dynamic routing requires an additional software entitlement. Copper connections support independently powered equipment rather than PoE endpoints. Four SFP28 uplinks support 1G, 10G or 25G operation, while two QSFP28 uplinks support 40G or 100G connections. The Cisco N9348GC-FX3 Switch belongs to the N9300-FX3 family and uses a fixed-port architecture rather than removable uplink cards. The sibling N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH adds endpoint power, but also introduces different copper port-speed restrictions that matter when selecting between the models.

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 price for new stock is $5,244.75. N9K-C9348GC-FX3 refurb price is $6,763.50. N9K-C9348GC-FX3 is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

696 Gbps switching capacity and over 517 Mpps forwarding performance define the switch's published forwarding capability. Static routing, SVIs and HSRP are available without an additional license; OSPF, BGP, EIGRP and IS-IS require an appropriate licensed package rather than the hardware PID alone. N9K-C9348GC-FX3 includes 32 GB of system memory, a 128 GB SSD and a 40 MB system buffer for its control-plane, storage and packet-buffering functions. Programmable management includes REST interfaces and RESTCONF/NETCONF/gNMI, with Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller available for centralized operations under the required entitlement. Three fan modules provide active cooling, and the power architecture supports redundant operation with matching airflow directions. 242W maximum consumption provides the chassis figure for power planning; a power supply's output rating is not the switch's operating draw.

Ordering

ORM Systems offers N9K-C9348GC-FX3 New sealed or Certified refurbished, with 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. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, optics bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and clean boot, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition, airflow, power supply PIDs, optics and software entitlement on the purchase order. For enterprise and volume orders, PO is accepted, Net-30 is available for government, and RMA with advance replacement is supported through regional stock/RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Select the software entitlement

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 advanced-feature orders need a separate entitlement selection: DCN Essentials, Advantage or Premier subscriptions start at three years; perpetual Advantage is available through NXOS-AD-GF or ACI-AD-GF, with different operating-mode coverage.

Match the airflow components

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 component orders must keep airflow consistent: pair NXA-SFAN-30CFM-PI with NXA-PAC-350W-PI2 for intake, or NXA-SFAN-30CFM-PE with NXA-PAC-350W-PE2 for exhaust. Mixed power-source types are supported; mixed airflow directions are not.

Best For

Software Baseline Standardization

When adding hardware to an existing NX-OS estate, the minimum software baseline can determine whether a staged image is suitable. NX-OS 10.4(1) is the minimum release for this model. Compare that requirement with the organization's approved image and specify the software baseline before issuing the purchase order.

Cooling Spare Planning

When purchasing operational spares for an existing installation, cooling failure behavior affects the spare-parts list. The chassis powers down if fewer than two fan modules remain operational. Review the installed airflow direction and identify the matching replacement fan PID before placing the hardware and spare-parts order.

Segmented Network Consolidation

When consolidating segmented networks, VLAN allocation needs checking before configuration migration. The family supports 4096 VLANs, with 27 reserved, so the headline figure is not entirely available for user allocation. Reconcile the existing VLAN inventory with reserved identifiers and specify the required segmentation before approving the replacement purchase.

Not Suitable If

PoE power for connected endpoints

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 supplies no endpoint power. N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH supports PoE++, but eight copper ports are limited to 10/100 Mbps half-duplex; check endpoint speeds before selecting that alternative.

10G connections to copper endpoints

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 copper access ports stop at 1GbE. N9K-C93108TC-FX3 provides 48 copper downlinks supporting 100 Mbps, 1GbE and 10GbE for faster copper-connected equipment.

Dynamic routing without additional licensing

The base configuration includes static routing rather than licensed OSPF or BGP. Specify a DCN Essentials or Advantage entitlement instead of ordering hardware alone for dynamic routed access.

Questions & Answers

What does the N9K-C9348GC-FX3 part number identify?

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 identifies an N9300-FX3 switch with 48 Gigabit copper access ports, four 10/25G SFP28 uplinks and two 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. The 48 segment corresponds to the access-port count, and FX3 identifies the generation. The hardware PID does not select an Essentials, Advantage or Premier software package.

How is N9K-C9348GC-FX3 managed?

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 supports NX-OS management through its console and management connections, programmable REST interfaces and RESTCONF/NETCONF/gNMI, with Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller available for centralized management. ACI operation is also supported. Select the operating mode and required management entitlement before standardizing configuration procedures across an installed estate.

Is N9K-C9348GC-FX3 end of sale?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for N9300-FX3. N9K-C9348GC-FX3 should be specified by its own hardware and software requirements rather than an assumed successor relationship with an older model. Keep manufacturer lifecycle planning separate from the condition and coverage written on the purchase order.

Which conditions and warranties does ORM Systems offer for N9K-C9348GC-FX3?

ORM Systems offers N9K-C9348GC-FX3 New sealed or Certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Cisco's platform warranty is separately a 1-year limited hardware warranty. Every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.

Which licensing paths are available for N9K-C9348GC-FX3?

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 supports DCN Essentials, Advantage and Premier subscriptions in 3-year, 5-year or 7-year terms, plus perpetual Advantage through NXOS-AD-GF for NX-OS or ACI-AD-GF for ACI and NX-OS coverage. Perpetual licenses are not portable between devices. For Smart Licensing orders, provide the organization's Smart Account and Virtual Account details.

What uplink speeds does the Cisco N9348GC-FX3 Switch support?

The Cisco N9348GC-FX3 Switch supports four SFP28 uplinks operating at 1G, 10G or 25G and two QSFP28 uplinks operating at 40G or 100G. These are fixed chassis ports, not removable uplink cards. Select compatible transceivers and cabling for the intended port speed before finalizing the connectivity order.

Can N9K-C9348GC-FX3 run OSPF or BGP without an additional license?

No, N9K-C9348GC-FX3 requires an appropriate additional software entitlement for OSPF or BGP; static routes, SVIs and HSRP are included without an additional license. DCN Essentials includes dynamic routing features, while Advantage adds further functions. Specify the required protocols and entitlement explicitly rather than treating the hardware PID as a routing license.

Which AC power supplies fit N9K-C9348GC-FX3?

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 accepts NXA-PAC-350W-PI2 for port-side intake airflow or NXA-PAC-350W-PE2 for port-side exhaust airflow. The chassis supports two power supplies for operational and redundant power. Keep supply and fan airflow directions consistent, and identify the installed supply PID before adding replacement or spare power supplies to an order.

What is the difference between N9K-C9348GC-FX3 and N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH?

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 is non-PoE, while N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH supports PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ endpoint power. The PH model also limits its last eight copper ports to 10/100 Mbps half-duplex. Choose the standard model for independently powered Gigabit equipment; consider the PH model for powered endpoints only after checking those port-speed restrictions.

What is the difference between N9K-C9348GC-FX3 and N9K-C93108TC-FX3?

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 accepts the 350W AC NXA-PAC-350W-PE2, while N9K-C93108TC-FX3 accepts the 500W AC NXA-PAC-500W-PE. These are compatible supply ratings, not chassis consumption figures. The former suits orders standardizing on its 350W AC spares; the latter requires the power components matched to its own hardware configuration.

What is the difference between N9K-C9348GC-FX3 and N9K-C93180YC-FX3?

N9K-C9348GC-FX3 has two 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks, while N9K-C93180YC-FX3 has six. Their access media also differ: the former provides Gigabit copper ports, while the latter provides 1/10/25G SFP28 ports. The copper model suits Gigabit equipment connections; the optical model suits buyers requiring SFP28 access and more QSFP28 uplink connections.
