The Cisco N3K-C3064PQ-10GE-B-DC Nexus 3064-X Data Center Switch is a high-density, ultra-low-latency networking solution designed for demanding data center, cloud, enterprise, and service provider environments. Featuring 48 x 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ ports and 4 x 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports, the switch delivers scalable, high-speed fiber connectivity for modern network infrastructures.
With a switching capacity of up to 1.28 Tbps and wire-speed packet forwarding, the N3K-C3064PQ-10GE-B-DC is optimized for bandwidth-intensive workloads and latency-sensitive applications. Its high-density port configuration makes it particularly suitable for Top-of-Rack (ToR) switching, server connectivity, high-speed fiber aggregation, and enterprise core networking.
The four 40GbE QSFP+ ports support compatible breakout configurations, enabling additional 10GbE connectivity and providing greater flexibility for evolving network requirements. This scalable architecture allows organizations to efficiently connect servers, storage systems, aggregation switches, and other high-performance network devices.
Powered by Cisco NX-OS, the switch provides advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking capabilities, including IPv4, IPv6, VLANs, dynamic routing, link aggregation, multicast, advanced QoS, access control lists, and secure network management. NX-OS automation and programmability capabilities also help simplify data center operations and network management.
The N3K-C3064PQ-10GE-B-DC is equipped with dual DC power supplies for enhanced power redundancy and supports hot-swappable cooling components for improved serviceability. Its reverse airflow design with port-side intake makes it suitable for data center environments requiring specific front-to-back cooling configurations.
Housed in a compact 1U rack-mountable form factor, the Cisco N3K-C3064PQ-10GE-B-DC Nexus 3064-X Switch delivers high port density, low latency, and reliable performance while maximizing rack space efficiency.
Ideal for data center networking, Top-of-Rack deployments, cloud infrastructure, enterprise core networks, high-speed fiber aggregation, and service provider environments, the Cisco N3K-C3064PQ-10GE-B-DC provides the performance, scalability, and operational flexibility required for high-speed network deployments.
