N2K-C2348UPQ Overview
N2K-C2348UPQ is a Cisco Nexus 2300 Platform Chassis, offering 2 power supply, 3 Fan Modules, 48x1/10GE (req SFP/SFP+) + 6x40G QSFP+(req QSFP+), and choice of airflow. Cisco Nexus 2300 platform fabric extenders are the successors to the industry’s widely adopted Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders. The Nexus 2300 platform with its Cisco fabric extender architecture provides a highly scalable unified server-access platform across a range of connectivity options such as 100 Megabit Ethernet; 1, 10, and 40 Gigabit Ethernet; unified fabric; copper and fiber connectivity; and rack and blade server environments.
