NEW Cisco N3K-C3264C-E 64x 100GB QSFP28 2x 1GB SFP Back-to-Front Airflow Switch

The Cisco N3K-C3264C-E is a 2RU 64-port 100 Gigabit QSFP28 switch with two 1/10 Gigabit SFP+ ports; 16 of the QSFP28 ports are MACsec-capable. It suits top-of-rack and aggregation roles in data center and campus networks. This unit is the front-to-back (port-side intake) airflow version: cooling air enters at the port side and leaves through the fans and power supplies. It runs Cisco NX-OS with the usual Nexus toolset for automation and monitoring.

Capacity is 12.8 Tbps with a 4.3 Bpps forwarding rate, a 42 MB dynamic packet buffer, and a up to 200,000-entry MAC address table. Latency runs approximately 450 ns.

Fans and power supplies are hot-swappable and redundant, and every module in one chassis must share the same airflow direction. Fan choices are the NXA-FAN-160CFM-PE (port-side exhaust) or NXA-FAN-160CFM-PI (port-side intake). Power supply choices are the NXA-PAC-1200W-PE AC and NXA-PDC-930W-PE DC (port-side exhaust) - NXA-PAC-1200W-PI AC and NXA-PDC-930W-PI DC (port-side intake). Check the fitted fan and power supply part numbers against your row's airflow before racking the switch.

A tested seller refurbished N3K-C3264C-E is also available at a lower price.

This switch is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
