Cisco Nexus 9800 Fabric Modules
High-capacity fabric modules provide the internal switching fabric for Nexus 9800 Series chassis — connecting all line cards with N+1 redundancy for non-stop forwarding and hot-swappable field replacement.
Product Overview
Internal Switching Fabric
Fabric modules interconnect all line card slots within the chassis, providing the high-bandwidth internal switching path for data movement.
N+1 Redundancy
Extra fabric module provides full redundancy — if one module fails, the remaining modules maintain full line-rate throughput.
Hot-Swappable
Field-replaceable without powering down the chassis, maintaining full operations during fabric module maintenance.
High-Bandwidth Fabric
Each fabric module contributes bandwidth to the chassis backplane, enabling up to 115.2 Tbps aggregate switching capacity.
800G Future-Ready
Fabric architecture designed to support next-generation 800G line cards as they become available.
Two Variants
N9K-C9808-FM-A for the Nexus 9808 chassis and N9K-C9804-FM-A for the Nexus 9804 chassis — matched to each form factor.
