Cisco Nexus 3000 Switch - 48 Ports - 48 x RJ-45 - 4 x Expansion Slots - 10/100/1000Base-T (N3K-C3048-FA-L3)
The Cisco Nexus 3048 switch is a line-rate Gigabit Ethernet top-of-rack (ToR) switch. The Cisco Nexus 3048, with its compact one-rack-unit (1 RU) form factor and integrated Layer 2 and 3 switching, complements the existing Cisco Nexus family of switches. This switch runs the Cisco NX-OS software operating system, providing customers with robust features and functions that are deployed in thousands of data centers worldwide. The Cisco Nexus 3048 is ideal for big-data customers that require a Gigabit Ethernet ToR switch with local switching that connects transparently to upstream Cisco Nexus switches, providing an end-to-end Cisco Nexus fabric in their data centers.
