N9K-C9348GC-FXP is a fixed 1-RU Layer 3 data center switch for 1G copper top-of-rack deployments. The Cisco Nexus 9348GC-FXP provides 48 100M/1GBASE-T downlink ports, four fixed 1/10/25G SFP28 ports, and two fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports in the Nexus 9300-FX family. The base hardware is non-PoE and runs in NX-OS mode or ACI mode, making the 48-port 1GBASE-T top-of-rack switch suitable where host copper remains at 1G while aggregation or spine connectivity uses higher-speed optics. N9K-C93108TC-FX keeps copper access but raises the 48 BASE-T ports to 100M/1/10G and uses six 40/100G QSFP28 ports.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP price for new stock is $1,383.90, a 92.7% saving from the Cisco list price of $18,881.00. N9K-C9348GC-FXP refurb price is $463.05. N9K-C9348GC-FXP is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

696 Gbps switching capacity and over 517 Mpps forwarding support local switching for dense 1G racks without treating the 350W power supply rating as platform draw. BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, RIPv2, PIM-SM, SSM, and MSDP are available when the required Layer 3 IP unicast and multicast licensing is installed. 24 GB DRAM, 128 GB SSD storage, and a 40 MB system buffer sit behind Cisco Cloud Scale technology, with hardware scale of 512000 MAC entries and 1792000 IPv4 LPM routes. N9K-C9348GC-FXP exposes one RJ-45 management port, one SFP+ management port, an RS-232 console, USB, DCNM, RESTCONF/NETCONF, and JSON RPC over HTTP/HTTPS for CLI functions. Three fan modules cool the chassis, and redundant hot-swappable power modules are planned by airflow direction. No hardware stack kit or member limit is published for this platform.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is available from ORM Systems as new sealed hardware or certified refurbished stock. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested, with clean boot, power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, PSU status, fan status, firmware verification, and configuration wipe to factory default.

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.
A site replacing Nexus 2248TP GE fabric extenders before the August 31, 2027 support cutoff can standardize on local switching instead of FEX attachment. List the 48 copper ports, SFP28 breakouts, QSFP28 uplinks, airflow direction, and license package on the bill of materials.
A rack with 1GBASE-T servers and 100G aggregation can use the 48 RJ-45 ports for host links and the two QSFP28 ports for upstream capacity. Confirm whether the four SFP28 ports need optical or copper transceivers before optics and cables are added to the PO.
A network team staging one hardware model across NX-OS and ACI labs can keep the 1-RU chassis common while varying software mode and license. Specify Essential or Advantage, subscription or perpetual, and the 3-year or 5-year term when a subscription quote is required.
10G copper downlinks
The fixed RJ-45 downlinks operate at 100M/1G only. N9K-C93108TC-FX provides 48 100M/1/10GBASE-T ports with six 40/100G QSFP28 ports.
PoE endpoint power
The base switch has no PoE budget or powered copper ports. N9K-C9348GC-FXP-B1 is the related 48-port PoE hardware variant for powered 1G endpoints.
Single logical stack
The platform uses fixed ports and does not publish a hardware stack member count. Build redundancy with vPC pairs rather than a chassis-style access stack.
Mixed airflow modules
Fan modules NXA-FAN-30CFM-B and NXA-FAN-30CFM-F cannot be mixed by airflow direction. Match airflow across the selected power-supply PID as well.

N9K-C9348GC-FXP is the base part number for an N9300 switch with 48 100M/1G BASE-T ports, four 1/10/25G SFP28 ports, and two 40/100G QSFP28 ports. The C9348GC-FXP segment identifies the 9348GC-FXP hardware variant rather than a license tier.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is managed as a Cisco NX-OS switch or deployed in ACI mode. Management access includes the RJ-45 management port, SFP+ management port, RS-232 console, DCNM, RESTCONF/NETCONF, and JSON RPC over HTTP/HTTPS for CLI functions; no dashboard-only control model is required.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Nexus 9300-FX. N9K-C9348GC-FXP is listed with Available status and a release date of June 24, 2017, so current purchases should focus on software release support, licensing, and chosen airflow rather than an announced hardware last-sale milestone.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP can be ordered new sealed or certified refurbished from ORM Systems. Cisco's platform warranty is 1-year limited hardware; ORM offers up to 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP uses the default Layer 2 NX-OS feature set without an added license. Layer 3 IP unicast, IP multicast, and Nexus Data Broker require added licensing through 3-year or 5-year Essential and Advantage subscriptions, or perpetual ACI Essential, ACI Advantage, NX-OS Essential, and NX-OS Advantage.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP is named as the replacement for Nexus 2248TP GE fabric extender variants including N2K-C2248TP-E, N2K-C2248TP-E-1GE, N2K-C2248TF-E, and N2248TP-E airflow bundles. Those predecessor products reached end of sale on August 24, 2022 and last support on August 31, 2027.
No, N9K-C9348GC-FXP is a non-PoE base switch with 48 100M/1G BASE-T downlink ports. Buyers needing powered 1G copper endpoints should use the related N9K-C9348GC-FXP-B1 hardware variant, which has 48 100/1000-Megabit 1GBASE-T ports that support PoE.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP has two fixed 40/100G QSFP28 uplink ports and four fixed 1/10/25G SFP28 ports. The 48 RJ-45 downlinks are 100M/1G BASE-T, so the high-speed fiber and QSFP28 ports should be planned separately from the copper access count.
N9K-C9348GC-FXP supports NXA-PAC-350W-PI, NXA-PAC-350W-PE, NXA-PHV-350W-PI, NXA-PHV-350W-PE, NXA-PDC-440W-PI, and NXA-PDC-440W-PE power supplies. Two power supply modules are used for operation and redundancy, and AC/DC types or opposite airflow directions should not be mixed in the same chassis.
No, N9K-C9348GC-FXP is not a chassis stack member switch. The platform supports data center designs such as vPC and 64-way ECMP, but it does not publish a stack kit, stack cable, or maximum stack member count for combining multiple units into one hardware stack.
N9K-C93108TC-FX raises the copper downlinks to 100M/1/10GBASE-T where N9K-C9348GC-FXP keeps 48 100M/1G BASE-T ports. N9K-C93108TC-FX fits racks needing 10G copper server links; N9K-C9348GC-FXP fits 1G copper racks with separate SFP28 and QSFP28 high-speed ports.
