How much does the Cisco MDS 9396T Fibre Channel Switch - 96 Ports - 32 Gbit/s - 96 Fiber Channel Ports - Gigabit Ethernet - 96 x Total Expansion Slots - SFP+ - 96 x SFP+ Slots - Manageable - Rack-mountable - 2U - Redun (DS-C9396T-96ETK9) cost?

Uniqcli sells the DS-C9396T-96ETK9 for $156,130.06 against a Cisco list price of $225,899.15. Add it to your cart and submit to confirm current pricing, stock, and lead time. Lower pricing is available for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) buys, and emergency or urgent acquisitions. Free US shipping on orders over $2,500.00.

Is the DS-C9396T-96ETK9 TAA compliant and available for government and DoD buyers?

Often yes, but it depends on the unit. Cisco manufactures the DS-C9396T-96ETK9 in several countries, so Trade Agreements Act (TAA) status varies by production lot. Uniqcli is an authorized Cisco partner: we confirm the country of origin before shipment, and if a given DS-C9396T-96ETK9 is not TAA-designated, we will source a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model. Either way the result is DoDIN APL-ready procurement for US federal, DoD, state, local, education, healthcare, and enterprise buyers, with Government Purchase Card (GPC) acceptance and FAR-based urgent and emergency acquisition support. Request a TAA-compliant quote for the DS-C9396T-96ETK9 and a specialist will confirm compliance, price, and lead time, usually within one business day.

Can I buy the DS-C9396T-96ETK9 as a single unit or in volume?

Both. Order a single DS-C9396T-96ETK9 through the cart, or ask about lower pricing for volume orders, Government Purchase Card (GPC) purchases, and emergency or urgent (FAR-based) acquisitions. There is no payment up front: we confirm availability and the final total before invoicing.

Where can I find the DS-C9396T-96ETK9 datasheet and specifications?

The DS-C9396T-96ETK9 datasheet is on this page: open the gated document for the full PDF. The specifications section also lists ports, power, and dimensions where Cisco publishes them.

Need the DS-C9396T-96ETK9 TAA-compliant for federal or DoD?

Cisco builds this model in multiple countries, so TAA status depends on the production lot. We confirm country of origin before shipment, and if a unit isn't TAA-designated, we'll quote a TAA-certified equivalent of the same model, DoDIN APL-ready and GPC-payable.
