The N5696-M20UP is a unified port line-card expansion module for the Nexus 5696Q, filed under Cisco interface cards, and it brings 20 SFP+ ports that can run 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gbps FCoE or Fibre Channel at 8, 4 and 2 Gbps.
The 5696Q chassis has eight line-card expansion slots. Filled completely with this module, the system reaches 160 ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel, and each module can be swapped while the chassis stays powered.
Four Fibre Channel SFP types, short-wave and long-wave versions at 4 Gbps and at 8 Gbps, are usable only in this unified port module. The 10G Ethernet ports otherwise take the common SR, LR, ER and copper twinax SFP+ families.
The host chassis is 6.97 x 17.3 x 30 in (17.7 x 43.9 x 76.2 cm) and handles 7.68 Tbps with 96 ports of 40G fitted, at roughly 1 microsecond port-to-port latency. Fibre Channel and FCoE use need a storage services licence.
