N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH combines powered copper access with eight dedicated half-duplex connections in a fixed-port data center switch. Forty RJ-45 downlinks support 10/100/1000 Mbps, while the remaining eight operate only at 10/100 Mbps in half-duplex mode. All 48 downlinks support PoE++, with endpoint power dependent on the selected power configuration. Four fixed SFP28 uplinks support 1/10/25G connections, and two fixed QSFP28 uplinks support 40/100G connections. The Nexus 9300-FX3 model occupies one rack unit and runs NX-OS; its base routing capability is static routing rather than licensed dynamic routing. The nearest non-PoE sibling, N9K-C9348GC-FX3, removes endpoint power delivery. This 48-port powered copper switch therefore requires a port plan that distinguishes Gigabit endpoints from equipment requiring half-duplex connectivity.

696 Gbps switching capacity accommodates the combination of copper downlinks and fixed fiber uplinks. More than 517 Mpps forwarding capacity provides a separate packet-processing measure for traffic-profile sizing. N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH includes 32 GB of DRAM and a 40 MB packet buffer, which should be considered separately when evaluating control-plane resources and traffic buffering. Static routing, switch virtual interfaces and HSRP are available without an additional feature license. The hardware ceiling reaches 512000 MAC entries and 1792000 IPv4 longest-prefix-match routes; those ceilings do not establish the entitlement or validated scale of a particular software configuration. Management automation includes RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI and a REST API interacting with the Data Management Engine. Separate copper and fiber management connections provide management connectivity outside the access-port allocation. ACI operation is not supported on this model, despite ACI availability elsewhere in the Nexus 9000 family.
Order N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH from ORM Systems in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, specifying the required hardware configuration on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested; PoE output is verified under load on every powered port, firmware is verified, and configuration is wiped to factory default. Cisco's separate limited hardware warranty is one year; ORM provides up to three-year extended coverage for new units and up to one year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition, terms apply. Enterprise and volume purchasing supports POs, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, and regional stock/RMA in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

A purchasing program covering different rack constructions needs mounting hardware specified independently of the switch quantity. NXK-ACC-KIT-1RU provides a four-post rack mounting kit, while NXK-ACC-KIT-2P provides a two-post rack mounting kit. Match each receiving location to its rack construction and put the corresponding accessory PID on the PO.
A lab preparing replacement equipment needs a software baseline that supports the exact hardware rather than an image retained from an older switch. The minimum NX-OS release is 10.4.1, and the switch includes a 128 GB SSD. Specify the staging image and configuration acceptance checks before releasing the equipment order.
Gigabit connectivity on every copper port
Eight downlinks stop at 100 Mbps and operate only half-duplex. N9K-C9348GC-FX3 provides 48 Gigabit-capable copper downlinks, but does not provide PoE.
Multigigabit copper endpoint connections
The fastest copper downlinks reach 1G, not 2.5G, 5G or 10G. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P provides 48 multigigabit copper downlinks supporting those higher speeds.
ACI fabric operation
N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH supports NX-OS rather than ACI operation. N9K-C9348GC-FX3 supports ACI, but removes PoE and changes the copper configuration to 48 Gigabit-capable downlinks.

N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH identifies a Nexus 9000-family, 9300-FX3 copper switch with 48 downlinks. The configuration includes 40 Gigabit-capable ports and eight 10/100 Mbps half-duplex ports. Four SFP28 uplinks and two QSFP28 uplinks complete the fixed-port configuration; the PH variant also supports powered endpoints.
N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH runs NX-OS and supports RESTCONF, NETCONF, gNMI and a REST API for management automation. Dedicated RJ-45 and SFP management connections separate management connectivity from endpoint ports. Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller provides an additional automation path when the required DCN Essentials entitlement is included.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Nexus 9300-FX3. N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH therefore has no announced hardware end-of-sale milestone or successor requirement. Hardware lifecycle and individual NX-OS release lifecycles are separate considerations, so the intended software release still needs its own support review before deployment.
New sealed and certified refurbished N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH units are available from ORM Systems. Cisco's one-year limited hardware warranty is separate from ORM's coverage: up to three-year extended coverage for new units and up to one year for certified refurbished units. Every condition includes 30-day returns, terms apply.
N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH uses the 1G fixed-platform licensing category. DCN Essentials, Advantage and Premier subscriptions are available for three, five or seven years. Advantage perpetual options include NXOS-AD-GF for NX-OS and ACI-AD-GF for DCN packaging. A DCN license does not add unsupported ACI operation to this hardware.
No, N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH supports static routes, switch virtual interfaces and HSRP without an additional feature license. Dynamic routing is a separate entitlement decision. The base hardware PID does not establish an Essentials or Advantage purchase, so the required licensed functions should be identified explicitly on the order.
N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH provides a 3000W PoE budget with two NXA-PAC-1900W-PI supplies in nonredundant mode, or 1450W in redundant mode. Each powered port supports 60W. The redundant configuration supports 24 ports at that power level, rather than all 48 drawing their maximum simultaneously.
N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH has four fixed SFP28 uplinks supporting 1G, 10G or 25G, plus two fixed QSFP28 uplinks supporting 40G or 100G. These are built-in cages rather than an expansion-module bay. The selected optics and connection speeds must match the intended uplink configuration and receiving equipment.
N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH supplies PoE, PoE+ and PoE++ to connected endpoints, whereas N9K-C9348GC-FX3 does not provide endpoint power. That distinction changes the power configuration that belongs on the order. Choose the PH model for powered endpoints and the non-PoE model when connected equipment has its own power.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P accepts NXA-PAC-1100W-PI supplies, while N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH does not. The latter supports NXA-PAC-350W-PI2 and NXA-PAC-1900W-PI among its power options. Buyers standardizing on NXA-PAC-1100W-PI inventory need the former; buyers selecting the latter must specify a permitted supply rather than carry over that inventory assumption.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3 provides six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks, whereas N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH combines four SFP28 uplinks with two 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. The former suits orders requiring six high-speed QSFP28 connections. The latter suits a mixed uplink plan using SFP28 connections alongside two QSFP28 connections.
Nexus 9300-FX3 software orders should identify the receiving Smart Account and Virtual Account so purchased entitlements are assigned correctly. Smart Licensing using Policy supports direct, mediated and disconnected reporting arrangements. The reporting method should be selected with the licensing administrator rather than inferred from the hardware's new or refurbished condition.
