Low-Latency Fiber Connectivity for Data Center Racks

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX is a low-latency Nexus 3064-X top-of-rack Ethernet switch with 48 fixed SFP+ interfaces and four fixed QSFP+ interfaces. The optical configuration distinguishes this model from the discontinued N3K-C3064TQ-10GT, which provides 48 native 10GBASE-T interfaces instead. The Nexus 3000 family serves data center switching applications rather than powered endpoint access. Cisco NX-OS supplies Layer 2 switching and a Base-licensed Layer 3 feature set, while additional feature licenses expand routing capabilities. The uplinks are built into the chassis rather than supplied through a removable network card.

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX price for new stock is $3,589.95, a 82.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $20,000.00. N3K-C3064PQ-10GX refurb price is $366.45. N3K-C3064PQ-10GX is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

1280 Gbps switching capacity and 950 Mpps forwarding support line-rate traffic across the Ethernet interfaces. OSPFv2 supports 256 routes under the Base license, alongside Static routing, RIPv2 and EIGRP Stub. N3K-C3064PQ-10GX also supports HSRP, VRRP, PIM-SM, SSM and MSDP within that license scope. Shared packet buffering provides 9 MB for traffic queues. Management includes console access, SSHv2, Telnet, SNMP, XML NETCONF and Cisco DCNM. AC and DC power configurations support redundant operation, with port-side-intake or port-side-exhaust cooling selected to match rack airflow.

Ordering

Specify N3K-C3064PQ-10GX in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, with the required accessories and license scope itemized on the purchase order. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units, up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns in every condition; terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders accept POs, government buyers receive Net-30 terms, and RMA with advance replacement is available across UK, EU, US and MEA regions.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Advanced routing license requirement

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX requires N3K-LAN1K9 for BGP, full EIGRP and advanced OSPFv2 routing. Specify that license alongside the included N3K-BAS1K9 rather than assuming a LAN Enterprise bundle.

Discontinued ordering status

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX ended Cisco sales April 28, 2017. Its discontinued replacement N3K-C31108PC-V leads forward to the currently orderable N9K-C93180YC-FX3, which should be evaluated for new-standard purchases.

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX Use Case

Server Access Top-of-Rack Handoff

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX sits at the top of a rack and terminates 10G server links on 48 fixed SFP+ ports using supported optics or direct-attach copper. Network engineers place host VLANs, vPC peer links, LACP bundles, jumbo-frame settings, and Layer 3 gateways according to the rack design, then carry northbound traffic through four QSFP+ uplinks at 40G or 4x10G. Operations teams retain familiar Nexus tooling for monitoring, changes, and incident response. The switch concentrates dense SFP+ server connectivity into a 1RU NX-OS access point with predictable rack-level forwarding.

Aggregation Layer 40G Handoff

The switch operates as a compact aggregation point where multiple 10G SFP+ access links converge before traffic moves toward distribution or spine devices. Engineers assign the 48 SFP+ interfaces to downstream switches, appliances, or server blocks, then use the four QSFP+ ports as 40G trunks or 4x10G breakouts. N3K-C3064PQ-10GX applies vPC, LACP, ECMP, and routed uplinks within NX-OS to keep traffic paths deterministic. This keeps aggregation behavior aligned with existing Nexus operational practices. The result is a controlled 10G-to-40G handoff without changing established SFP+ cabling.

Monitoring Fabric Collection Point

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX occupies a traffic visibility role where SPAN or tap feeds arrive on SFP+ interfaces and monitoring tools connect through selected 10G or QSFP+ paths. Engineers use Cisco Nexus Data Broker licensing when the design requires TAP and SPAN aggregation, then apply filtering and forwarding rules across the Nexus 3064-X ports. The 1RU chassis places monitoring collection near production racks while preserving separate tool-facing links. The outcome is centralized packet visibility for troubleshooting and analysis without inserting dedicated matrix switches.

Best For

Routed Rack Consolidation

When consolidating routed rack connections, the Nexus 3064-X supports 1024 Layer 3 interfaces across routed ports, switch virtual interfaces, PortChannels and subinterfaces. Separate interface requirements from routing-license requirements before procurement, and specify the intended interface mix and feature-license scope on the purchase order.

Lab And Staging

When staging equipment for a network that uses jumbo frames, the Nexus 3064-X supports an MTU of 9216 bytes. Include the intended frame size in acceptance testing, verify compatibility with connected equipment, and specify the required cabling and interface configuration before issuing the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

Native 100G uplinks

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX has 40G QSFP+ uplinks, not native 100G interfaces. The current N9K-C93180YC-FX3 provides six 40/100G interfaces and also changes the downlink speed options.

Active Cisco hardware support

Cisco hardware support ended April 30, 2022. For a currently orderable successor, specify N9K-C93180YC-FX3 rather than the discontinued intermediate replacement models.

Questions & Answers

What does the N3K-C3064PQ-10GX part number identify?

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX identifies the Nexus 3064-X configuration with 48 SFP+ ports, four QSFP+ ports, enhanced scale and low latency. The complete identifier distinguishes this optical model from copper Nexus 3064 variants and from separately identified bundles that include LAN Enterprise licensing.

How is the Nexus 3064-X managed?

The Nexus 3064-X supports CLI management through the serial console, SSHv2 and Telnet, plus SNMP, XML NETCONF and Cisco DCNM. Management can use dedicated management interfaces or in-band connectivity. Specify the intended administrative access method and monitoring integration when preparing the configuration.

Is N3K-C3064PQ-10GX end of life?

Yes, N3K-C3064PQ-10GX ended Cisco sales April 28, 2017, and Cisco hardware support ended April 30, 2022. N3K-C31108PC-V and N3K-C3172PQ-XL were intermediate replacements and are also discontinued. The forward replacement chain reaches the currently orderable N9K-C93180YC-FX3.

Which licenses are available for N3K-C3064PQ-10GX?

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX includes the Base license, N3K-BAS1K9. N3K-LAN1K9 adds LAN Enterprise routing and requires Base. NDB-FX-SWT-K9 licenses Cisco Nexus Data Broker tap and SPAN aggregation. Specify the required feature licenses explicitly, since the chassis identifier is not a LAN Enterprise bundle identifier.

Which older switch does N3K-C3064PQ-10GX replace?

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX replaces N3K-C3064PQ, whose Cisco end-of-sale date was January 30, 2013. The older chassis identifier is distinct from the enhanced-scale, low-latency Nexus 3064-X identifier. For an existing installation, match the complete replacement part number rather than ordering by the shortened model name.

What conditions and warranties does ORM offer for N3K-C3064PQ-10GX?

ORM offers N3K-C3064PQ-10GX new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units.

Which optics can the Nexus 3064-X use?

The Nexus 3064-X supports SFP-10G-SR for multimode 10G connections, SFP-10G-LR for single-mode 10G connections and QSFP-40G-SR4 for 40G connections. Select the exact transceiver PID to match the fiber and remote interface, and identify the required quantities separately on the purchase order.

What is the difference between N3K-C3064PQ-10GX and N3K-C3064TQ-10GT?

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX has 48 SFP+ interfaces, while N3K-C3064TQ-10GT has 48 native 10GBASE-T interfaces. Both models are discontinued. The optical model matches existing SFP+ connections; the copper model identifies a twisted-pair server configuration, so matching the installed cabling is the relevant distinction.

What is the difference between N3K-C3064PQ-10GX and N3K-C3064-X-FA-L3?

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX includes Base licensing, while N3K-C3064-X-FA-L3 identifies an AC, port-side-exhaust bundle with Base and LAN Enterprise licenses. Both are discontinued. The base identifier matches a Base-licensed requirement; the bundle identifier matches an order that explicitly includes advanced routing licensing and that power configuration.

What is the difference between N3K-C3064PQ-10GX and N9K-C93180YC-FX3?

N3K-C3064PQ-10GX provides four 40G QSFP+ interfaces, while N9K-C93180YC-FX3 provides six 40/100G interfaces. The former is discontinued and beyond Cisco support; the latter is the currently orderable successor. The older model matches legacy 40G configurations, while the successor addresses native 100G interface requirements.
