Cisco Catalyst 9500-40X-A 40x10G SFP+ Switch, Advantage License
Cisco C9500-40X-A Core and Aggregation Switch
The Cisco Catalyst 9500-40X-A is a 1 RU, fixed-port enterprise core and aggregation switch engineered for U.S. campus and data-center environments—from Silicon Valley innovation hubs to Wall Street trading backbones.
Leveraging an Intel multi-core x86 CPU and Cisco’s UADP Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), it features forty 10 Gbps SFP+ ports with front-to-back airflow, delivering up to 960 Gbps of full-duplex switching capacity and wire-speed forwarding at 720 Mpps.
Running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Advantage license, it provides advanced Layer 2/3 services, enterprise-grade security, and programmability tailored for modern American networks.
Overview
Highlights
-
Ports & Front-to-Back Cooling
