About the Cisco Nexus 9400 Series

The Cisco Nexus 9400 Series Switches are designed to provide high-density 400G solutions within a compact, modular chassis. With a height of 4 rack units and a depth of 24 inches, these switches offer a centralized modular architecture capable of scaling up to 25.6 Tbps. This makes them ideal for data centers requiring robust, scalable networking solutions that can support high-speed data transfer and extensive programmability.

The Nexus 9400 Series supports a wide range of port configurations, including up to 64 ports of 400G, 128 ports of 200G, or 176 ports of 10/25/50G. This flexibility allows enterprises to tailor their network infrastructure to specific needs, whether it be for telecom, media, or cloud applications. The inclusion of MACsec capability on all ports ensures secure data transmission across the network.

Designed for high performance and reliability, the Nexus 9400 Series features fan tray redundancy with five fan trays and power supply redundancy. It supports Precision Time Protocol (PTP) with Class C timing accuracy, making it suitable for environments that require precise time distribution. These features, combined with its modular design, make the Nexus 9400 a future-proof investment for growing network demands.
