The Cisco Nexus 7702 is a 2 slot, three-rack-unit (3RU) chassis that supports all current Nexus 7700 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) modules (except the F2E I/O modules), supervisors, and power supplies. It provides feature and operational consistency and investment protection. This switch is ideal for small and medium-sized data center interconnect (DCI) solutions.
