Cisco Nexus 5596T Switch

The Nexus 5596T is based on the same ASIC and chassis as the 5596UP. The Nexus 5596T switch is a
2RU switch, with 32 fixed ports of 10G BaseT and 16 fixed 10G Unified ports, which support (Ethernet,
FC, FCoE). All the existing GEMs supported on the Nexus 5500 switches will be supported on the Nexus
5596T. In addition, the Nexus 5596T will also support the new 12 port 10G BaseT expansion module.
With this module, you can use the Nexus 5596T to deploy up to 68 ports of 10G BaseT in a 2RU form
