Cisco Nexus 9300 sourcing — N9K-C9336C-FX2
A single-model sourcing page for the Nexus 9300 switch we list: the N9K-C9336C-FX2, with 36 QSFP28 ports for 40/100G fabrics.
Fabric switches are quoted with their optics
The N9K-C9336C-FX2 anchors Nexus 9300 demand on this desk. A useful inquiry for it carries the fabric context: how many units, leaf or spine role, and the transceiver and breakout lines that land on its QSFP28 ports. Optics quoted with the switches arrive as one design, not two orders.
Other Nexus 9300 part numbers from the same series can be named in the same inquiry — the desk quotes the series, with this model as the lead reference.

Nexus lines are fabric lines
A Nexus 9300 inquiry is a fabric statement: which switches sit at leaf, which at spine, and what moves between them. The desk prices the list against the topology — port speeds matched to the servers below and the spine above — and flags any line whose role and specification disagree.
Send the topology with the list, even roughly. A leaf count without a spine count, or a spine count without the uplink speeds, returns questions; a topology sketch in words returns a quotation with the junction checks already run.
Optics decide the real price
On 9300-class fabrics the optics and cables routinely rival the switches' own share of the budget. Port counts at each speed, breakout patterns, and reach per run belong on the inquiry, because a fabric priced without its media is a number waiting to move.
Where breakout is used, state it per port group — a QSFP28 run as four SFP28 links changes the media list completely, and the quotation prices the pattern named rather than discovering the assumption at installation.
Fabrics repeat; quotations become templates
Most Nexus purchases are not one-offs: a second hall, a second site, a refresh of the first fabric. The first priced fabric becomes the template the desk checks later orders against — airflow variants, optic types and spare ratios held consistent unless the design deliberately changes them.
Shelf spares belong in the template from the start: one spare per switch class and spare optics matched to the installed types, priced with the fabric rather than sourced in a hurry after the first failure.
Common questions
Is the N9K-C9336C-FX2 a listed model here?
Yes — it has its own product page in our catalogue. Send the quantity for a line price.
Can optics ride on the same quotation?
They should — add the transceiver lines to the same inquiry.
What should accompany a Nexus 9300 list?
The topology in words — leaf and spine counts, port speeds, breakout and reach per run — plus airflow variants per model.
Can spare optics be ordered without switches?
Yes — send the installed optic types and quantities wanted; media lines quote standalone.
Can a fabric be quoted for two halls at once?
Yes — send both topologies in one inquiry. Switch classes shared between the halls are priced against a single template so the builds stay identical, while media, counts and spares are listed per hall. The quotation keeps the halls as separate line groups under one order, which is also how they ship if the project wants a single delivery.
