Cisco Nexus31128PQ Network Switch Kuwait

The Cisco Nexus31128PQ Kuwait Switch, part of the Unified Fabric family, is a compact, 2-rack-unit (2RU) switch for top-of-rack data center deployments. The Cisco Nexus31128PQ Kuwait is a dense, high-performance Layer 2 and 3, 10- and 40-Gbps switch that is a member of the Cisco Nexus 3100 switches. The Nexus 3100 switches are the second-generation Cisco Nexus 3000 series switches and offer improved port density, scalability, and features compared to the first-generation switches.

The Cisco Nexus31128PQ Kuwait comes in a compact two-rack-unit (2RU) form factor and runs the industry-leading Cisco^® NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers comprehensive features and functions that are widely deployed. It supports both forward and reverse (port side exhaust and port side intake) airflow schemes with AC and DC power inputs. The Cisco Nexus 31128PQ is well suited for data centers that require a cost-effective, power-efficient line-rate Layer 2 and 3 access or leaf switch.
