Cisco N3K-C3064PQ-10GX Nexus 3064 10GbE/40GbE Switch

Brand:

The Cisco Nexus 3064 (N3K-C3064PQ-10GX) is a high-density 10GbE and 40GbE data center switch designed for ultra-low latency networking. It delivers scalable Layer 2/3 performance with 48x 10G SFP+ ports and 4x 40G uplinks, ideal for cloud, enterprise, and high-performance environments.

OVERVIEW

  • The Cisco Nexus 3064 (N3K-C3064PQ-10GX) is a compact 1RU data center switch built for ultra-low latency, high-throughput networking in modern enterprise and cloud infrastructures. As part of the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series, it is optimized for environments requiring deterministic performance, high port density, and scalable fabric connectivity.
  • It combines 48 x 10GbE SFP+ ports with 4 x 40GbE QSFP+ uplinks, enabling efficient server aggregation and high-speed spine connectivity in leaf-spine architectures. This makes it ideal for virtualization clusters, private cloud platforms, financial trading systems, and latency-sensitive workloads where microsecond performance matters.
  • Compared to similar Nexus 3000 models, it stands out for its strong balance of 10G density and 40G uplink scalability, ultra-low latency architecture (~250ns), and high forwarding performance—making it suitable for organizations modernizing legacy data centers into cloud-ready, software-defined infrastructures.
