For Cisco switches like Nexus , can one switch support both fiber and copper cables ?
Further, is it possible that one port could support both fiber and copper cabling ?
 
I appreciate your prompt reply

Hello

Most nexus switch line cards support both copper and fibre SFP's if that is what you are asking?

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the reply!

I have two follow-up questions:

1. When you said "nexus switch line cards support both copper and fiber SFPs", did you mean that a "same" port could accept either copper cables, or fiber cables, right ?


2. Could you give me the model name of such Nexus switch? That would be very helpful.

I asked that question, because I was told that Cisco N9K-C93180-EX-B24C 2xNexus 93180YC

only supports 10Gig fiber; while N9K-C93108TC-EX Nexus 9300  only support 1Gig & 10Gig copper, but not fiber. Is that correct ?

I wish one switch could support both fiber & copper. 

Best Regards,
