N9K-C9236C is the Cisco Nexus 9236C, a 1 rack unit switch with 36 100-Gigabit QSFP28 ports that support 100, 50, 40, 25, 10 and 1 Gigabit speeds. It also has a 100/1000 management port, a console port, two software-defined ports and a USB port for saving or loading switch configurations.
The QSFP28 ports take adapters and breakout cables: CVR-2QSFP28-8SFP provides eight SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports for each vertical pair of switch ports, CVR-QSFP-SFP10G provides one SFP/SFP+ port for one QSFP/QSFP28 port, and breakout cables with four 10-Gigabit SFP+ transceivers such as QSFP-4X10G-AOCxM and QSFP-4SFP10G-CUxM are supported.
Four user-replaceable fan modules cool the chassis, in port-side intake (burgundy, NXA-FAN-30CFM-B) or port-side exhaust (blue, NXA-FAN-30CFM-F). Two power supplies, one for operation and one for redundancy (n+1), come in five types: NXA-PAC-650W-PI and NXA-PAC-650W-PE (650 W AC), N9K-PUV-1200W (1200 W HVAC/HVDC, dual airflow), UCSC-PSU-930WDC and UCS-PSU-6332-DC (930 W DC). Both supplies must be the same type, and every fan module and supply must share one airflow direction.
Typical power consumption is 275 W and maximum is 640 W, with a heat dissipation requirement of 2183.77 BTU per hour. The switch measures 17.3 in wide, 22.5 in deep and 1.72 in (4.4 cm) high and the chassis weighs 18.2 lb (8.3 kg). Each fan module weighs 0.26 lb (0.12 kg) and each power supply 2.42 lb (1.1 kg).
