The Cisco Nexus 5010 is a compact, managed switch designed for data-intensive environments requiring high-performance networking. This specific configuration, with part number N5010P-N2K-BE, includes 20 ports, delivering efficient traffic management across supported devices. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet via the included 20 Cisco 10GBASE-SR SFP+ modules (SFP-10G-SR), allowing for fast and reliable connectivity over multi-mode fibre. These modules provide enhanced speed and bandwidth for data transmissions.
Additionally, the configuration features 4 Cisco Nexus 2000 Series 1GE Fabric Extenders (N2K-C2148T-1GE). These extenders simplify the overall architecture by allowing the Nexus switch to act as a single point of management. This smart integration helps reduce complexity and streamlines network operations. The fabric extenders support 1 Gigabit Ethernet, providing enhanced scalability and facilitating smooth interaction with the core switch.
To ensure operational stability, the system is equipped with 4 Cisco Nexus 2000 FEX 1GE 200W power supplies (N2K-PAC-200W). These power supplies offer reliable power delivery to the Nexus 2000 series fabric extenders, minimising downtime risks and enhancing the overall dependability of the networking infrastructure. Furthermore, the power supplies are designed to be energy efficient while maintaining performance, making them a practical choice for large-scale environments.
The Nexus 5010 is ideal for advanced data centre applications, providing highly managed functionality for desktop use. Designed with flexibility and efficiency in mind, it functions optimally in conjunction with fabric extenders, offering comprehensive support for both 10G and 1G environments. This makes the N5010P-N2K-BE package a suitable option for demanding network installations requiring consistent performance, scalability, and ease of management.
