Get high-density, nonblocking, and low-power 48 x 10/25-Gbps ports with the Nexus 93180YC-FX. This SFP-based switch supports Cisco Tetration Analytics for deep telemetry and Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). It's ideal for leaf-and-spine deployment in enterprise, service provider, large virtualized, and cloud environments.

Architectural flexibility
- Leaf-node support for Cisco ACI architecture with flexible port configuration
- Seamless convergence thanks to 48 downlink ports that can work as 1/10/25-Gbps Ethernet or FCoE ports or as 8/16/32-Gbps Fibre Channel ports
- Easy migration with 6 uplink ports that can be configured as 40/100-Gbps Ethernet or FCoE ports

Rich features
- Automated policy-based systems management with Cisco ACI
- Open APIs enable third-party integration with our partners
- Better management of speed mismatch between access and uplink ports with 40 MB of shared buffer space
- Support for Fibre Channel interfaces for back-end storage connectivity

Top-notch security
