Owning the Cisco Nexus 3172TQ (N3K-C3172TQ-10GT) can significantly enhance your network’s performance and reliability. With its 48 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports, the switch ensures high-speed connectivity across all connected devices, making it ideal for bandwidth-intensive applications. The additional 6 QSFP+ ports further expand the network capabilities, by allowing either 10 GbE or 40 GbE uplinks, granting you the flexibility you need to create a scalable and future-proof network infrastructure.
The Cisco Nexus 3172TQ’s impressive 1.4-terabit per second switching capacity and forwarding rate of up to 1 billion packets per second (bpps) eliminate performance bottlenecks, facilitating swift and efficient data transfer. Furthermore, with support for jumbo frames, the switch can manage large data packets easily, enhancing the overall throughput and reducing processing load.
Designed with redundancy in mind, the switch has dual power supplies, ensuring your network remains operational even if one power source fails. The system also supports both AC and DC power inputs, providing you with options to match your data center power infrastructure.
Energy efficiency is another compelling reason to purchase this switch. The typical operating power of just 360 watts means lower energy bills and reduced operating costs. Simultaneously, the compact 1 rack-unit form factor makes it space-efficient, a crucial advantage for crowded server rooms.
The Cisco Nexus 3172TQ is a future-forward investment. Its robust feature set, versatility, and reliability align with the demands of next-generation data centers and business networks. By choosing this Cisco Nexus switch, you are investing in a networking solution that won’t just meet your current needs but will also adapt to your future requirements.
The Cisco Nexus 3172TQ (N3K-C3172TQ-10GT) is a 1 rack unit (RU), 10GBASE-T switch with 48 10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports (each port can operate at 100-Mbps and 1-Gbps speeds) and 6 Quad SFP+ (QSFP+) ports (each QSFP+ port can support 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 40 Gigabit Ethernet).
