N9K-C9348GC-FXP addresses dense 1G copper access in a fixed Cisco Nexus data center switch rather than a campus PoE closet design. This managed Layer 3 platform provides 48 x 100M/1GBASE-T RJ-45 ports for copper endpoints, 4 x 1/10/25GbE SFP28 ports, and 2 x 40/100GbE QSFP28 fixed uplink ports, with no modular uplink bay to populate later. Non-PoE operation keeps the chassis focused on server, appliance, and management-network traffic instead of powered endpoint access. The 1U rack-mount form factor places the switch in the Cisco N9300-FX Series for cloud-scale data center leaf and top-of-rack roles, especially where existing copper cabling remains part of the rack design. Buyers standardize on this model when 1GBASE-T endpoint density matters more than native 10GBASE-T access. A close sibling, N9K-C93108TC-FX, differs by using 48 x 100M/1/10GBASE-T ports and 6 x 40/100GbE QSFP28 ports, so it targets higher-speed copper racks.
696 Gbps switching capacity delivers rack-level bandwidth for 1G copper downlinks that aggregate into 25G and 100G paths. Over 517 Mpps forwarding rate supports data center leaf traffic where many lower-speed endpoints share higher-speed fabric connections. BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM, and MSDP support align the platform with routed Nexus designs when the required software licensing is installed. 512000 MAC address entries and 4096 VLAN support give the switching plane scale for virtualized and appliance-heavy environments. 64-way ECMP supports Layer 3 fat-tree designs that distribute traffic across multiple routed paths. N9K-C9348GC-FXP also carries 24 GB system memory, a 128 GB SSD, and a 40 MB system buffer for control-plane operation and burst handling. Out-of-band administration uses 1 RJ-45 management port, 1 SFP+ management port, 1 RS-232 console port, and 1 USB port, while AC or DC power supply choices support redundant PSU operation in port-side intake or exhaust airflow builds. Maximum power draw is 287W, with typical operation listed at 178W.
At the data center access or leaf tier, the switch connects copper servers, infrastructure appliances, KVM devices, and management endpoints before handing traffic to aggregation, spine, or fabric switches over fixed optical uplinks. It does not stack as a physical switch stack, so redundant designs use vPC, port channels, routed links, or fabric architecture while each unit occupies 1U of rack space and fits repeated top-of-rack builds. ORM Systems supplies N9K-C9348GC-FXP new and certified refurbished, with refurbished units checked for boot status, port operation, management access, fan health, PSU health, airflow match, and cosmetic condition before dispatch. Submit the required quantity, airflow direction, power supply type, optics, licensing needs, and destination to receive a configured quotation; enterprise and volume buyers get bundle-level pricing for matched pairs, refresh projects, spare-pool planning, and staged multi-site rollouts across regional and international delivery schedules.

N9K-C9348GC-FXP sits at the top of rack as a 1GBASE-T leaf for servers, appliances, and management devices that still present copper Ethernet. Engineers terminate 48 100M/1GBASE-T downlinks on the switch, reserve the four 1/10/25G SFP28 ports for nearby fiber handoffs, and use the two 40/100G QSFP28 ports for spine or aggregation uplinks. NX-OS policies place VLANs, routed interfaces, ACLs, and QoS at the rack boundary. The rack gains dense copper access with high-speed uplink paths into the data center fabric.
The switch operates as a compact leaf where low-speed copper endpoints feed northbound into a leaf-spine fabric. Network teams map 48 100M/1GBASE-T ports to server or appliance segments, then carry aggregated traffic through 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks toward spine switches. The 1/10/25G SFP28 ports support additional fiber handoffs when the rack needs intermediate-speed links. N9K-C9348GC-FXP keeps copper access and high-speed fabric uplinks on one 1RU platform, resolving rack designs that lack native fiber endpoints but still require 100G fabric attachment paths.
In an ACI or NX-OS operating model, N9K-C9348GC-FXP provides a fixed-port data center leaf for teams standardizing operational templates across mixed copper and fiber racks. Engineers use POAP, NX-OS programmability, or ACI fabric policy to apply interface profiles, routing, telemetry, and change controls consistently. The 24 GB system memory, 128 GB SSD, dual management ports, and redundant power supply slots fit controlled data center operations. The network gains repeatable provisioning for 1G copper racks without separating management practice from higher-speed Nexus leaf deployments.

The Cisco N9K-C9348GC-FXP is a Nexus 9348GC-FXP fixed-port data center switch for 1G copper top-of-rack and leaf deployments. It provides 48 100M/1GBASE-T ports, four 1/10/25G SFP28 ports, and two 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports in a 1RU chassis. The model belongs to the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series and runs in data center switching environments.
N9K identifies the Cisco Nexus 9000 platform, while C9348GC-FXP points to the Nexus 9348GC-FXP fixed switch. The 9348GC portion aligns with a 48-port 1G copper design, and FXP places it in the Nexus 9300-FX generation. For ordering, N9K-C9348GC-FXP refers to the base hardware SKU for the switch chassis.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is a fixed-port Layer 2 and Layer 3 data center switch, not a modular chassis, router, firewall, or campus access switch. It is designed for rack-level switching where 100M or 1G copper endpoints connect southbound and higher-speed SFP28 or QSFP28 links connect northbound to aggregation, spine, or fabric infrastructure.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP sits in the Cisco Nexus 9300-FX family inside the broader Nexus 9000 Series. It serves buyers that need dense 1GBASE-T copper connectivity in a data center leaf or top-of-rack position. Adjacent models cover 10G copper, 25G fiber, or newer FX3 designs, making this SKU the 1G copper-focused option.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP provides 54 front-panel data ports in total. The switch includes 48 100M/1GBASE-T copper ports, four SFP28 ports configurable for 1G, 10G, or 25G operation, and two QSFP28 ports for 40G or 100G uplinks. This mix suits racks with mostly copper 1G endpoints and a smaller number of high-speed uplink paths.
Cisco specifies the Nexus 9348GC-FXP at 696 Gbps of bandwidth and over 517 Mpps forwarding performance. Those figures fit the port profile of 48 1GBASE-T access ports plus 25G SFP28 and 100G QSFP28 connectivity. Buyers should size uplinks, oversubscription, and rack traffic patterns around the actual endpoint mix and fabric design.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is not a PoE switch. Its 48 copper ports are 100M/1GBASE-T data ports for data center endpoints, not powered access ports for phones, cameras, or wireless access points. Buyers needing Cisco PoE in the Nexus 9348GC family should compare against PoE-capable alternatives such as N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH where that hardware role is required.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is documented as a fixed-port L2/L3 switch for data center deployment. The Nexus 9300-FX software family supports common routing and switching designs, including VLANs, routed interfaces, BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, PIM, and VXLAN EVPN use cases when software mode and licensing align. Feature entitlement should be matched to the planned NX-OS or ACI deployment.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is managed as a Cisco Nexus 9000 switch through Cisco NX-OS or ACI operating models, depending on the deployed image and fabric architecture. It includes out-of-band management through RJ-45 and SFP management ports, plus console and USB access. Automation workflows also align with Cisco Nexus programmability, including POAP, APIs, NETCONF, RESTCONF, OpenConfig, and common configuration tools.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP does not use Catalyst-style StackWise stacking. Data center designs normally pair Nexus leaf switches through vPC, port channels, routed links, or EVPN-VXLAN fabric designs instead of a single physical stack. This distinction matters for buyers replacing campus access switches, because Nexus high availability and scale are planned through fabric architecture rather than stack member expansion.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is used for 1G copper server access, appliance connectivity, management network aggregation, and top-of-rack switching in data centers. The 48 100M/1GBASE-T ports fit equipment that still uses copper Ethernet, while the SFP28 and QSFP28 ports provide higher-speed uplinks. It is strongest where rack endpoints need 1G access into a Nexus fabric.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP fits small to large data center racks that need high-density 1G copper connectivity with compact 1RU switching. It works well as a rack leaf for servers, storage appliances, security appliances, KVM systems, or out-of-band-adjacent production networks. The model is less suitable for campus PoE closets or racks that require 48 ports of native 10GBASE-T.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP suits workloads where many devices attach at 100M or 1G and uplink into faster data center infrastructure. Common scenarios include appliance-heavy racks, bare-metal server access, management aggregation, and mixed copper endpoints that do not justify 48 ports of 10G. The 40 MB system buffer and intelligent buffer management support congestion handling in mixed flow environments.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP works as a leaf or top-of-rack switch in Nexus data center designs where 1G copper endpoints need fabric uplinks. Its two QSFP28 ports provide 40G or 100G connectivity toward spine or aggregation switches, and the SFP28 ports handle 1G, 10G, or 25G fiber links. Fabric design still depends on software mode, licensing, optics, and upstream switch compatibility.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP belongs to the Cisco Nexus 9000 ecosystem and integrates with Cisco NX-OS and Cisco ACI operating models when ordered and licensed appropriately. It is commonly deployed alongside Nexus 9300, Nexus 9500, and Cisco APIC-based fabrics. Buyers should validate the target software release, fabric role, airflow direction, and licensing package before mixing it with existing Nexus infrastructure.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP uses four SFP28 ports for 1G, 10G, or 25G links and two QSFP28 ports for 40G or 100G links. Cisco directs buyers to the official transceiver compatibility matrix for exact optics, adapters, cables, and minimum software releases. Example port families include SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, and QSFP28 options where supported by Cisco software.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP participates in common Nexus 9000 Layer 2, Layer 3, and data center fabric designs. Relevant technologies include Ethernet VLANs, port channels, vPC, BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, PIM, VXLAN EVPN, ECN, PFC, ETS, and DCBX depending on design and licensing. The 10G and faster ports also align with Cisco MACsec-capable Nexus 9300-FX platform capabilities where licensed.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP fits Cisco Nexus automation workflows that use NX-OS programmability and model-driven interfaces. Cisco lists support across Power On Auto Provisioning, JSON RPC over HTTP or HTTPS, native YANG, OpenConfig, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and integrations with Ansible, Puppet, Chef, and Salt. These options help standardize interface templates, routing policy, and day-zero provisioning across repeated rack builds.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is the better fit for dense 1G copper racks, with 48 100M/1GBASE-T ports, four SFP28 ports, and two QSFP28 uplinks. N9K-C93108TC-FX targets higher-speed copper access with 48 100M/1/10GBASE-T ports and six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks. Buyers choose N9K-C93108TC-FX when 10GBASE-T endpoints dominate the rack design.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP focuses on 1G copper endpoints, while N9K-C93180YC-FX focuses on 1/10/25G fiber server access. The C93180YC-FX also provides six 40/100G QSFP28 uplinks and supports unified port use cases on that platform. Buyers choose N9K-C9348GC-FXP for RJ-45 copper density and C93180YC-FX for fiber-heavy 10G or 25G server racks.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP and N9K-C9348GC-FX3 both address 1G copper Nexus 9348GC deployments with SFP28 and QSFP28 uplinks. The FX3 model is the newer generation and adds 10M support on the copper downlinks according to Cisco FX3 specifications. Buyers use the FXP SKU for established FX deployments and evaluate FX3 when lifecycle standardization or newer hardware generation matters.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP provides 48 100M/1GBASE-T copper ports without PoE. N9K-C9348GC-FX3PH is a different newer-family option aimed at mixed-speed copper designs that include PoE support and a different port profile. Buyers should not treat the two SKUs as direct drop-in equivalents; port speeds, powered-port requirements, software releases, and airflow choices need review before substitution.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is commonly sourced in new, refurbished, and surplus market channels depending on regional stock and project timing. ORM Systems lists enterprise hardware supply options by SKU, so buyers should request the required condition, airflow, power supply type, and optics at quotation stage. Refurbished units are often relevant for matching existing Nexus 9300-FX deployments or controlling refresh budgets.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP pricing depends on condition, quantity, power supply and fan airflow choice, included optics, warranty level, and current channel availability. Buyers searching for N9K-C9348GC-FXP price should request a formal quote that confirms the exact hardware bundle. This avoids comparing a bare chassis against a fully configured switch with power supplies, fans, licenses, and transceivers.
Cisco lists the Nexus 9348GC-FXP product status as available to order on its support page. Availability through ORM Systems still depends on live distributor, refurbished, and broker stock for the exact N9K-C9348GC-FXP configuration. Buyers should also check software support, Smart Licensing, and any internal standardization against newer Nexus 9348GC-FX3 alternatives before placing a production order.
Lead time for N9K-C9348GC-FXP depends on condition, quantity, airflow direction, power supply type, testing requirements, and whether optics or licenses are included. Common reseller fulfilment is faster when the requested bundle matches available inventory. Projects needing matched pairs, specific serial documentation, or large quantities should allow extra time for sourcing, inspection, configuration checks, and export paperwork.
Bulk pricing is relevant for N9K-C9348GC-FXP when buyers need multiple rack leaf switches, matched redundant pairs, or a wider Nexus 9300-FX refresh. ORM Systems can price quantity requirements more accurately when the request includes unit count, condition preference, airflow direction, power supplies, licensing, optics, and delivery destination. Larger orders may also justify consolidated shipping and staged delivery planning.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP can be supplied by ORM Systems with warranty coverage appropriate to the quoted condition and commercial terms. Buyers should confirm the warranty period, replacement process, and support scope before purchase, especially for refurbished units. Warranty discussion should also include fans, power supplies, optics, and licenses, because a complete deployment often contains more than the base switch chassis.
Refurbished N9K-C9348GC-FXP units should be tested for boot status, management access, port operation, fan and power supply health, cosmetic condition, and inventory accuracy before dispatch. For this SKU, testing should include the 48 copper ports, four SFP28 ports, two QSFP28 ports, console access, management ports, and airflow module verification. Documentation should match the quoted condition and bundle.
Cisco lists Nexus 9300-FX Series regulatory compliance covering CE marking, safety standards, EMC emissions and immunity standards, and RoHS compliance. For N9K-C9348GC-FXP projects, buyers should request any required compliance documentation during procurement, especially for regulated data center environments or cross-border shipments. Exact documents should be matched to the serialised hardware, destination country, and customer acceptance process.
First-use configuration for N9K-C9348GC-FXP normally starts with console or management-port access, NX-OS or ACI image validation, management IP setup, user authentication, licensing review, and interface template planning. Engineers then configure VLANs, routed links, port channels, vPC or fabric membership, monitoring, and uplink optics. Airflow direction and redundant power installation should be checked before rack installation.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP uses Cisco Nexus 9000 software packaging, and advanced functions may require the correct subscription or perpetual license. Cisco lists Essential and Advantage subscription packages for 1G Nexus 9K leaf use cases. Buyers should align licenses with NX-OS or ACI mode, routing requirements, MACsec needs, Nexus Data Broker plans, and existing Smart Licensing processes before ordering.
A complete N9K-C9348GC-FXP deployment normally requires matching fan modules, one or two supported power supplies, rack-mount hardware, console access, management cabling, compatible SFP28 or QSFP28 optics, and suitable fiber or copper cables. Airflow direction is especially important because Cisco offers port-side intake and port-side exhaust options. Buyers should quote the switch as a bundle, not only a base chassis.
UK buyers can purchase N9K-C9348GC-FXP through ORM Systems by requesting a quote for the exact Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP configuration. The request should specify new or refurbished condition, quantity, airflow, power supplies, warranty expectation, optics, and delivery location. This SKU is often bought for data center refresh, spare pool, or rack expansion projects that need verified Nexus compatibility.
ORM Systems ships enterprise hardware internationally subject to stock, export checks, carrier availability, and destination requirements. For N9K-C9348GC-FXP, international buyers should provide destination country, required condition, power type, airflow direction, optics needs, and any customs documentation requirements at quotation stage. Larger orders may need staged logistics, serial tracking, and packaging suitable for data center switch hardware.
