Description

The Nexus 2348TQ-E is a cost-optimised 10GBASE-T fabric extender from the Nexus 2300 platform. It acts as a remote line card of a parent Nexus switch, extending top-of-rack or end-of-row server access in the data centre. It suits teams migrating server connectivity to 10GBASE-T copper while keeping management centralised on the parent switch.

Host connectivity is provided by 48 RJ-45 ports supporting 100M, 1G and 10GBASE-T. Six 40G QSFP+ fabric interfaces (24 x 10GE) link to the parent, giving up to 240 Gbps in each direction with up to 2:1 oversubscription and hardware forwarding at 1440 Gbps. This SKU is the bundle that includes 12 Fabric Extender Transceivers (FET) for the uplinks. It supports FCoE up to 30 m over Category 6a and 7 cabling. Redundancy comes from two hot-swappable 1+1 power supplies and three hot-swappable fans, with typical draw of 280 W.

Parent switches are Nexus 5500/5600, Nexus 6000 and Nexus 9300/9500 Series, running NX-OS 7.3(0)N1(1) or later on 5500/5600/6000 and 9.2.1 or later on 9300/9500. The fabric uplinks also accept QSFP-40G-SR-BD BiDi, SR4, LR4 and CSR4 optics, active Twinax and AOC cables, and the CVR-QSFP-SFP10G adapter.

FAQs

Q: Does the fabric extender need its own licence?
A: No separate licence is needed for the fabric extender itself. It is managed from the parent Nexus switch running NX-OS, so licensing is governed by the parent switch.

Q: Which parent switches does it work with?
A: Nexus 5500/5600, Nexus 6000 and Nexus 9300/9500 Series. The minimum software is NX-OS 7.3(0)N1(1) on 5500/5600/6000 and NX-OS 9.2.1 on 9300/9500. It is not supported with the Nexus 7000.

Q: What power supplies and airflow options are available?
A: Two hot-swappable 1+1 supplies are chosen from N2200-PAC-400W (AC, standard airflow), N2200-PAC-400W-B (AC, reversed airflow), N2200-PDC-400W (DC) and N2200-PDC-350W-B (DC, reversed airflow). Fans are NXA-FAN-30CFM-F for standard airflow and NXA-FAN-30CFM-B for reversed airflow.

Q: What can be used on the 40G fabric uplinks?
A: The uplinks accept FET-10G/FET-40G, QSFP-40G-SR-BD BiDi, SR4, LR4 and CSR4 optics. Active Twinax, AOC cables and the CVR-QSFP-SFP10G adapter are also supported.

Q: How does this SKU differ from other 2348TQ-E variants?
A: This SKU, N2K-C2348TQ12F-E, is the bundle that includes 12 Fabric Extender Transceivers (FET) for the 40G fabric uplinks.
