Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switch N3K-C3064PQ-10GX Overview
Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switch N3K-C3064PQ-10GX is a genuine data-center switching fabric product from Cisco, a leading enterprise networking vendor whose Catalyst, Nexus and ISR families power campus, data-center and branch networks worldwide. Belonging to the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series family, the N3K-C3064PQ-10GX unit is built to the original factory specification, so it integrates with existing Cisco deployments predictably and behaves exactly as the platform documentation describes. In the network, it is built for high-density data-center and cloud environments, where low latency, high availability and consistent forwarding matter most.
From a specification standpoint, it offers 52 ports for client, server or uplink connectivity. These are the original factory figures for this model, giving administrators a clear picture of what the unit can deliver before it enters service. Standard mounting, cabling and management practices apply, so deployment follows the same procedures as other Cisco hardware already running in the environment.
Typical deployments include access-layer deployments for user, phone and AP connectivity, distribution and core aggregation in campus networks, and top-of-rack and end-of-row switching in data centers. Organizations commonly source it for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, keeping a tested unit on hand so outages stay short and replacements are predictable. The factory detail for this unit reads: “Nexus 3064-X, 48 SFP+ and 4 QSFP+ ports, with enhanced scale, low latency”. This makes it a practical choice when original-spec hardware is required at a predictable cost.
Every unit at LinkNewNet is inspected and tested before dispatch, and stock is graded, cleaned and verified for correct operation, including port status, console access and firmware state. Our warranty coverage and responsive technical support protect the purchase after it arrives, and our team can confirm revision levels and software compatibility before you order. For volume requirements we also offer configuration checks and staged delivery options.
