The Cisco N7K-C7010-FAB-1 is a switching fabric module designed specifically for the Cisco Nexus 7010 (10-slot) chassis within the Nexus 7000 Series data center switching platform. It provides the internal, non-blocking crossbar fabric that interconnects the chassis's I/O modules and supervisor engines, delivering 46 Gbps of switching capacity per slot. Multiple fabric modules can be installed in a single chassis to provide combined bandwidth and redundancy, forming the high-speed backplane that enables the Nexus 7010 to support demanding data center core and aggregation-layer workloads.
