Name: Cisco Nexus 5010 switch - SunSpike
SKU: N5K-C5010P

Product Overview

The Cisco Nexus 5010 switch (model N5K-C5010P-BF) is a 1RU, line-rate, low-latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel switch designed for data center applications. It provides more than 520-Gbps throughput and is built for environments transitioning to 10 Gigabit Ethernet or deploying a unified fabric to consolidate LAN, SAN, and cluster networks. This switch has been discontinued since October 06, 2022.

Key Features

Cut-Through Architecture: Supports line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet on all ports with consistently low latency, independent of packet size or enabled services.
Unified Fabric Support: Supports FCoE and IEEE Data Center Bridging (DCB) to consolidate LAN, SAN, and cluster traffic over a single lossless Ethernet link, protecting existing Fibre Channel storage investments.
Flexible Connectivity: Features 20 fixed SFP+ ports. The first 8 ports support dual speed (1/10 Gigabit Ethernet). An expansion module slot allows for additional ports (e.g., 6 additional 10GE ports, 8 4Gbps Fibre Channel ports, or a combination).
High Availability: Powered by 1+1 redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and 1+1 redundant, hot-pluggable fan modules for front-to-back cooling.
