What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against N55-D160L3-V2, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Quoted with the optics and rails
The switch, the transceivers at both ends and the mounting hardware go on one bill of materials, so nothing blocks the install.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is N55-D160L3-V2 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the Cisco warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will N55-D160L3-V2 work in my server?
- Tell us what it is aggregating and what optics you already hold. We confirm the port mix, the uplink capacity and the airflow variant, and we will list the optics and rail kit you will also need.
- Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
- Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.

Specifying a system, not just the part?
Multi-node training is bounded by the fabric between the nodes, so the switch is specified with the cluster rather than after it.
