Features

The Cisco Nexus 5596T switch is a 2RU switch, with 32 fixed ports of 10GBASE-T and 16 SFP+ fixed

ports. The switch also supports up to three expansion slots. The switch supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet

(fiber and copper), Fibre Channel, and FCoE, offering up to 1920 Gbps of throughput and up to 96 ports.

The switch supports unified ports on all SFP+ ports. The hardware for the 10GBASE-T ports is capable

of supporting FCoE. FCOE on 10GBaseT ports is supported only for lengths less than or equal to 30m.

The Cisco Nexus 5596T switch has the following features:

•32 fixed ports of 10GBASE-T and 16 fixed ports of SFP+ on the back of the switch

•Three slots on the back of the switch for optional expansion modules

•Two slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable power supplies, which provide

back-to-front airflow for cooling

•Four slots on the front of the switch for hot swap-capable fan modules, which provide back-to-front

airflow for cooling.

•Layer 2 or Layer 3 I/O modules

•One USB port on the front of the switch

Chassis

The Cisco Nexus 5596T chassis is 2 RU or 3.47 inches (8.8 cm) tall, 17.3 inches (43.9 cm) wide, and

29.5 inches (74.9 cm) deep. It is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch wide rack. The front of
