The Cisco Nexus® 3550-F products are a compact yet powerful networking platform designed specifically for low-latency applications. The Nexus 3550-F products feature up to 48 ports of 10G Ethernet connectivity in a single-rack-unit form factor that can be configured as follows:
● Cisco Nexus 3550-F Modular Layer 1 Matrix Switch is purpose-built for low-latency data fan-out, electronic patch panels, and transparent monitoring applications. Layer 1 switching offers port-to-port latencies under 5ns.
● Cisco Nexus 3550-F Programmable Multiplexer Switch is designed to support multiple multiplexing modes for many-to-one aggregation use cases. Applications include low-latency link aggregation for financial trading order entry networks and low-latency telecommunications networks. This mode offers latencies as low as 39ns.
The Cisco N35-F-48X Nexus 3550 Series Fusion Layer 1 Switch is a high-density switch that enhances data center efficiency. It features 48 ports of native line-rate, low-latency Ethernet connectivity with support for speeds up to 10G,Purpose-built for large-scale operations, the device provides port aggregation and rapid signal replication while supporting advanced layer-one switching capabilities crucial in test labs and enterprise environments. The modular design allows dynamic configuration changes without impacting active connections.
