Cisco N9K-X9564TX 48x 10GB Copper 4x 40GB QSFP+ Switch Line Card

The Cisco N9K-X9564TX is a first-generation Nexus 9500 line card with 48x 1/10GBASE-T RJ45 ports and 4x 40GB QSFP+ ports. It brings copper 10GB server access into a modular Nexus 9504, 9508, or 9516 chassis running Cisco NX-OS.

The card works with the first-generation N9K-C9504-FM, N9K-C9508-FM, and N9K-C9516-FM fabric modules, and Cisco calls for three fabric modules for full bandwidth. It has a 104MB buffer, and Cisco lists power draw at 450W typical and 540W maximum. A Nexus 9504 holds up to four of these cards, a 9508 up to eight, and a 9516 up to sixteen. Line cards can be added to open slots as the network grows.

Copper 10GBASE-T ports let servers connect over standard twisted-pair cabling, while the four 40GB QSFP+ ports can uplink to other switches or connect high-bandwidth hosts.

For a Nexus 9504, the Cisco N9K-C9504-FM Nexus 9504 fabric module is the matching fabric module. The Cisco N9K-X9464TX2 48x 10GB copper 4x 40GB line card is a related copper line card with a smaller 12MB buffer. The Cisco QSFP-40G-SR-BD 40GB BiDi QSFP+ transceiver works in the 40GB ports.

The line card weighs 12.58 pounds.
