The Cisco N9K-X9788TC-FX is a high-density cloud-scale line card designed for the Cisco Nexus 9500 Series modular switches, built to deliver high-performance 10G access with scalable 100G uplinks for modern data center environments.
This line card provides 48x 10GBASE-T (RJ-45) ports for server connectivity and 4–8x 100G QSFP28 uplink ports (depending on configuration), enabling high-speed aggregation and efficient traffic handling. It is part of Cisco’s FX-series cloud-scale architecture, ensuring low latency, high throughput, and advanced programmability.
With a switching capacity of up to 6.4 Tbps and high forwarding performance, it supports demanding workloads such as virtualization, cloud computing, and large-scale enterprise networking.
Designed for use in Nexus 9500 chassis (like N9K-C9504, C9508), it integrates seamlessly with Cisco NX-OS and ACI, enabling automation, policy-based networking, and centralized control.
