Cisco Fabric Module - Switch - plug-in module

• Enhanced connectivity
  The Cisco Fabric Module is designed as a plug-in module, ensuring easy integration into existing network setups. Its compatibility with network hubs and switches enhances the flexibility and scalability of network infrastructures, allowing for seamless connectivity and improved network performance.
• Robust design
  Crafted to meet the demands of modern networking, the Cisco Fabric Module features a robust form factor that ensures reliability and durability. This design not only extends the lifespan of the module but also ensures consistent performance under various network conditions.

The Cisco Nexus 9500 platform is designed as a Clos fabric that interconnects each line card directly with each rear-mounted fabric module. All traffic between the line cards is load balanced across all fabric modules providing optimal bandwidth distribution within the chassis. This load-balancing capability provides enhanced system reliability and redundancy. The switch continues to operate even in the event of a loss of a fabric module, albeit at a lower capacity, as the remaining fabric modules continue to provide switching capacity to the line cards. Some of these line cards can connect to 1 or 2 additional fabric modules to provide N 1 or N 2 redundancy.
