The Cisco Nexus N9K-C92160YC-X is a high-density, low-latency 10/25/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for modern data centers and cloud-scale environments. Part of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series, it provides exceptional throughput, scalability, and programmability for next-generation network infrastructures.

• 48 × 1/10/25-Gigabit SFP+ ports for high-speed server connectivity
• 6 × 40/100-Gigabit QSFP28 uplink ports enabling high-performance aggregation and spine connections
• 2.16 Tbps of switching capacity with ultra-low latency for demanding workloads
• Powered by Cisco NX-OS for reliability, automation, and open programmability
• Support for VXLAN and EVPN for scalable multi-tenant data center networks
• Comprehensive security with microsegmentation, role-based access control (RBAC), and MACsec encryption

Engineered for both traditional and software-defined architectures, the Nexus N9K-C92160YC-X provides seamless integration with Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure), delivering intent-based networking with centralized policy control. It enables consistent performance across virtualization, containerized applications, and hybrid cloud deployments.

Built on a highly efficient hardware platform, the switch combines performance, energy efficiency, and advanced telemetry for real-time visibility. Its compact 1RU design makes it ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) or end-of-row (EoR) deployments in dense data center environments.

Key Use Cases: High-performance computing (HPC), AI/ML clusters, data center spine-leaf architectures, and enterprise cloud fabrics requiring advanced automation and scalability.
