N9K-C93108TC-FX - Cisco Nexus 9000 Series

Copper server connections on the TC-FX order

N9K-C93108TC-FX is the Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX, a 1RU switch with forty-eight copper downlink ports supporting 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps. Six QSFP28 uplinks support 40/100-Gbps connections. The TC port type matters when matching an existing copper installation; do not substitute the optical access-port layout of a YC model.

Keep the original FX speeds separate from FX3 replacements

The original TC-FX specification does not list 2.5G or 5G as copper downlink speeds. The lifecycle table names N9K-C93108TC-FX3P as a migration reference with a different speed set. Compare the required endpoints, cable plant and software before accepting that replacement, rather than copying its capabilities back onto this FX order.

Validate operating resources and optional features

Cisco lists a four-core CPU, 24 GB system memory and a 128 GB SSD for this model. Verify installed power supplies, airflow, uplink optics and the intended NX-OS or ACI deployment. Hardware capability does not establish that a quoted unit includes all software features or licenses; confirm the entitlement needed for the chosen role.

End of sale and support are different milestones

The base N9K-C93108TC-FX reached end of sale on July 31, 2024. Cisco lists July 31, 2029 as the last support date, subject to applicable entitlement. Check the contract and supported software path for the actual unit; the remaining calendar window is not an unconditional support promise.
