(NEW) Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches - N9K-C9508-FM-G

Overview

The Cisco N9K-C9508-FM-G is a fabric module specifically designed for the Cisco Nexus 9508 chassis, part of the Nexus 9000 Series modular switches. This fabric module is a key component in the switch’s internal architecture, providing high-speed interconnection between line cards and supervisor modules. It enhances the overall switching capacity, enabling efficient data transfer within the chassis. The Nexus 9508, with this fabric module, supports high-density, high-performance networking solutions for data centers, delivering robust performance with scalability for future growth.

Specs

Chassis Compatibility:

• Compatible Model: Cisco Nexus 9508 chassis
• Slots Supported: 6 fabric module slots in the Nexus 9508 chassis (each fabric module is installed in these dedicated slots).

Performance:

• Switching Capacity: Supports high-speed data transfer across line cards, contributing to an overall system capacity of up to 30 Tbps (depending on the configuration of other components like line cards and supervisors).
• Fabric Module Type: Non-blocking architecture, ensuring maximum throughput across all interfaces in the system.

Reliability and Redundancy:

• Redundancy: Supports N+1 redundancy (i.e., the switch can operate with one fewer fabric module than the number of slots).
• Hot-Swappable: Can be replaced while the switch is running, ensuring no downtime during maintenance or upgrades.

Power and Cooling:

• Power Consumption: Designed for energy-efficient operation within the Nexus 9508 chassis power budget.
• Cooling Requirements: Efficient heat dissipation, working with the system's fan trays and cooling mechanisms.
