Nexus 9500 Series 4-Slot Modular Data Center Switch
Product Description
The Cisco Systems N9K-C9504 is a high-performance modular chassis switch from the Cisco Nexus 9500 Series, engineered for large-scale data center spine deployments requiring extreme scalability, flexibility, and high throughput.
Designed for cloud-scale fabrics, the 4-slot chassis supports multiple supervisor, fabric, and line card modules, allowing organizations to build high-density 10G, 25G, 40G, 50G, or 100G switching platforms tailored to evolving infrastructure demands.
Running Cisco NX-OS and supporting Cisco ACI, the Nexus 9504 enables automation, policy-based networking, and deep telemetry visibility, making it ideal for enterprise, hyperscale, and service-provider data centers.
The modular architecture allows incremental expansion while maintaining high availability through redundant supervisors, power supplies, and fabric modules.
