    Overview, on page 1 Overview The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-FX3 switch (N9K-C93108TC-FX3) is a 1-rack unit (RU) switch that supports 2.16 Tbps of bandwidth and 1.2 Bpps. The 48 10GBASE-T downlink ports on the 93108TC-FX3 can be configured to work as 100-Mbps or 10-Gbps ports. The uplink can support up to six 40- and 100-Gbps ports, or a combination of 10-, 25-, 40, and 100-Gbps connectivity, offering flexible migration options for spine-leaf-APIC deployment in data centers.
