Nexus 5000 10 Gigabit Switches

The Cisco Nexus 5000 series comprise a family of line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) switches for data center applications.

The Cisco Nexus 5000 Series is designed for data center environments with cut-through technology that enables consistent low-latency Ethernet solutions, with front-to-back cooling, and with network ports in the rear, bringing switching into close proximity with servers and making cable runs short and simple.

The switch family is highly serviceable, with redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and fan modules. It uses data center-class CiscoNX-OS Software for high reliability and ease of management • Layer 2 hardware forwarding at 520 Gbps or 386.9 mpps.
