C1-N5K-C5596UP-FA, Cisco Nexus 5596UP Switch, 48x10GE/2 Power Supply/4 Fans

The Cisco C1-N5K-C5596UP-FA is an enterprise-class data center switch, offering highly resilient architecture for large-scale network environments. As a true 48 port switch, it is uniquely engineered to deliver optimum flexibility and network efficiency through its fixed high-density 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, allowing seamless integration of both SFP+ and 10GBASE-T connections depending on system requirements. Data centers and critical infrastructure deployments that demand minimal latency will benefit from its extremely low 5-microsecond cut-through switching, providing high-performance support for latency-sensitive applications. The C1-N5K-C5596UP-FA excels as an FCoE switch, allowing organizations to converge LAN and SAN traffic on a single device for simplified operations and reduced cabling, while advanced redundancy features—dual supervisor modules, power supplies, and fans—deliver continuous operation and maximized uptime. This switch is designed for long-term service, with a mean time between failures (MTBF) of 10 years, and adheres to stringent industry standards, including optional NEBS compliance, which is critical for telecommunication providers and enterprises requiring high availability and reliability. With a fully non-blocking performance (1:1 over-subscription ratio) and a non-blocking switching capacity of 1.92 Tbps, the device supports the ever-increasing demands on modern data center infrastructure. Robust environmental adaptability, including operating temperatures from 0°C to 40°C and humidity tolerance up to 95%, allows flexible deployment across diverse geographies and rack conditions. Certified for UL, CSA, CE, and FCC, the C1-N5K-C5596UP-FA is a future-ready choice for distributors, system integrators, and end-users across Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America seeking worry-free operation, investment protection, and high-speed backbone connectivity. With its enterprise feature set, including SNMP/XML API management and Cisco NX-OS system, this 48 port switch is a scalable foundation for next-generation enterprise and cloud-ready networks.
