The Cisco Nexus 5596UP is a highly effective, rack-mountable managed switch built specifically for enterprise environments that require flexibility and high performance. This switch features a total of 48 ports, providing ample connectivity options for modern data centre operations. It supports both 10G SFP+ and FET-10G modules, ensuring high-speed communication and data transfer. The switch includes six Cisco Nexus 2248TP GE Fabric Extenders, which further expand the network, enabling the connection of more devices while reducing the overall management complexity.
The Nexus 5596UP offers multiple configuration possibilities to meet varying network demands. Its unified port architecture enables the switch to support both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) in a single infrastructure. This contributes to network consolidation, simplifying management and reducing cabling requirements significantly. The switch comes equipped with 48x 10G SFP+ modules, which provides enhanced scalability for growing networks.
Another notable feature is the incorporation of fabric extender technology that improves scalability and flexibility by separating physical hardware from the logical network configurations. This technology simplifies operations by consolidating traffic into the parent switch while maintaining the user’s ability to expand the network organically. Housed in a rack-mountable form factor, the Cisco Nexus 5596UP is built to save valuable space in data centres, offering optimised performance in compact areas.
