N3K-C3064TQ-32T Overview
The Cisco Nexus 3064-32T (N3K-C3064TQ-32T) is a cost-effective 1RU top-of-rack switch designed for 10GBASE-T deployments. It provides line-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching with 32 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports and 4 QSFP+ ports, delivering up to 1.28 Tbps throughput.
The Cisco N3K-C3064TQ-32T allows customers to migrate from 1GbE to 10GbE servers while reusing existing structured copper cabling. It can be upgraded to 48 10GBASE-T ports with a software license. The Nexus 3064-32T runs the robust Cisco NX-OS operating system and supports both forward and reversed airflow cooling schemes for flexible data center deployment.
With high density 10GbE, low latency, low power draw, forwarding flexibility, and a comprehensive feature set, the Cisco N3K-C3064TQ-32T meets the demands of today’s high-performance server and virtualized environments.
