The Cisco Nexus N2K-C2248TF-E Fabric Extender, part of the renowned Nexus 2000 Series, extends your data center’s capabilities by seamlessly integrating with Nexus parent switches to create a unified, resilient system. Ideal for top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) configurations, it offers 48 100/1000Base-T and 4 10GE enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) ports. This connectivity broadens your network’s reach, ensuring high performance and efficient use of space.
The N2K-C2248TF-E comes with eight Fabric Extender Transceivers, simplifying setup. It features a high-throughput architecture capable of hardware forwarding at 176 Gbps or 131 mpps, reducing bottlenecks and improving overall traffic management. What’s more, its scalable design allows for easy expansion as your business needs evolve. You’ll require fewer switches and cables, leading to reduced capital and operational expenses.
Moreover, this device ensures ease of management by adopting settings and policies from its parent switch automatically. Network administrators can manage both the extender and the parent switch as a single entity, streamlining operations and reducing the potential for configuration errors. The dual power supplies, along with hot-swappable fans, contribute to continuous, uninterrupted operation, crucial in maintaining high availability.
Implementing the N2K-C2248TF-E Fabric Extender into your network is an investment in reliability, cost-effectiveness, and simplified management. Whether you’re upgrading your current infrastructure or building a new data center, this fabric extender offers the versatility and performance that modern businesses demand.
N2K-C2248TF-E is a Cisco Nexus 2248TP-E Series 1GE Fabric Extender, offering 2 power supply, 1 Fan Modules, 48×100/1000Base-T + 4x10GE (includes 8 Fabric Extender Transceivers), 32MB buffer, and choice of airflow. Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders comprise a category of data center products designed to simplify data center access architecture and operations. Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders behave like remote line cards for a parent Cisco Nexus switch. The fabric extenders are essentially extensions of the parent Cisco Nexus switch fabric, with the fabric extenders and the parent switch together forming a distributed modular system. This architecture enables physical topologies with the flexibility and benefits of both top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) deployments
