Cisco Catalyst 9500 16‑Port 10Gig Switch – Enterprise Core/Distribution Layer Switch

Cisco Catalyst 9500 16‑Port 10Gig Switch is engineered for demanding enterprise networks that require high throughput, strong routing capabilities, and robust security. As part of the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series, this switch is suited for core and distribution layers, where performance, resiliency, and scalability are essential for business‑critical applications.

With 16 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, this switch delivers high‑speed connectivity to aggregation links, server farms, and backbone infrastructure. Its Layer 3 routing support includes advanced dynamic routing protocols and optimized packet forwarding to ensure efficient traffic delivery across distributed networks.

The Catalyst 9500 includes advanced Quality of Service (QoS) features to prioritize mission‑critical traffic and ensure smooth performance for latency‑sensitive services such as voice, video, and cloud applications. Security features such as access control lists (ACLs), segmentation, and threat detection protect network assets against unauthorized access and attacks.

Built on a Cisco DNA‑ready platform, this switch supports automation, analytics, and secure segmentation tools that simplify operations and improve network visibility. Optional modular uplinks (such as 25G, 40G, or 100G) enhance backbone and aggregation capabilities for future growth.
