Cisco’s Nexus 3048 ordering table identifies N3K-C3048-FAN-B as the reversed-airflow, port-side-intake fan module. N3K-C3048-FAN is the port-side-exhaust alternative; the separate N3K-C3048-FAN-B= row is the spare order. Retain the suffix and any equals sign on the purchase document instead of merging these rows.
The module is a cooling component for the Nexus 3048 family, not a network switch with its own Ethernet ports. Cisco’s replacement guide requires the replacement fan airflow to match the other fan and power-supply modules in the same chassis. Inspect the installed PIDs, airflow markings and system configuration before ordering. Chassis bandwidth and port counts are not specifications of this fan.
EOL14841 names this exact PID. Manufacturer sales ended on 28 February 2023; the new service-attachment deadline was 28 February 2024. The last support milestone is 29 February 2028 for eligible active contracts or warranty terms. The bulletin identifies no replacement. These milestones do not establish available stock or transferable coverage for an offered module.
Confirm the actual part label, airflow variant, condition, supplied quantity and return terms. Refer to Cisco’s applicable chassis procedure for handling, grounding and the replacement window; this listing does not promise unrestricted hot swapping. The official diagram shows the Nexus3048TP host and its fan-tray position, not a FAN-B supplied-unit photo or an included switch.
