Description

The Nexus 2348TQ-E is a 1RU 10GBASE-T fabric extender in the Nexus 2300 platform. It acts as a remote line card for a parent Nexus switch and suits top-of-rack or end-of-row server access in data centres. It is a cost-optimised option for migrating from 1G to 10GBASE-T over copper, and it supports FCoE.

There are 48 RJ-45 host ports running 100M, 1G or 10GBASE-T, with six 40G QSFP+ fabric uplinks (24 x 10G). Fabric bandwidth is up to 240 Gbps in each direction, hardware forwarding is 1440 Gbps or 2160 mpps, and oversubscription is up to 2:1. This SKU is the bundle with 8 BiDi or 4 FET-40G plus 16 FET-10G transceivers, with a choice of airflow and power supply at order time. Redundant 1+1 hot-swap power supplies and 2+1 hot-swap fans are fitted, in forward or reverse airflow.

The FEX is managed from its parent switch running NX-OS, so no separate licence is needed for the FEX itself. Supported parents are Nexus 5500/5600, 6000 Series and Nexus 9300/9500. Fabric uplinks work with QSFP-40G-SR-BD BiDi, QSFP-40G-SR4, QSFP-40G-LR4, QSFP-40G-CSR4 and FET-40G optics, plus QSFP+ active twinax, AOC and 4x10G breakout cables.
