Cisco Nexus 7000 F3-Series 48-Port 1 and 10
Gigabit Ethernet Module
Product Overview
The Cisco Nexus
®
7000 F3-Series 48-Port 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module offers outstanding flexibility and wire-
rate performance on each port for high-density, low-latency, scalable data center architectures.
Powering Cisco Unified Fabric Architecture
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Switches are the foundation of Cisco
®
Unified Fabric and meet the demands of mission-
critical data centers. They deliver exceptional availability, scalability, and the proven, comprehensive feature set of
Cisco NX-OS Software.
The first in the next generation of data center switching platforms, 7000 Series switches provide integrated
resilience and are optimized for availability, reliability, scalability, and ease of management. The fabric architecture
of 7000 Series switches scales beyond 17 terabits per second (Tbps) and supports high-density 10 Gigabit, 40
Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet deployments. A single chassis supports up to 768 native 10-Gbps
ports, 192 40-Gbps ports, and 96 100-Gbps ports.
The 7000 F3-Series module (Figure 1) is a low-latency, high-performance, high-density 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet
module. It supports all 7000 Series switches and shares a common system architecture and application-specific
integrated circuit (ASIC) technology. Up to 768 wire-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports are supported in a single Cisco
Nexus 7000 18-Slot Switch chassis (Table 1).
