N6K-C6001-64T connects copper-attached servers through 48 fixed 1/10GBASE-T ports, with four fixed 40G QSFP+ uplinks in a 1U chassis. This managed, non-PoE Nexus 6001 configuration runs NX-OS with a Layer 2 base feature set; routed operation requires additional licenses. The Cisco Nexus 6001T supports direct server attachment and fabric extender aggregation within the Nexus 6000 family. Its uplink interfaces are built in rather than supplied through a removable network card. The discontinued N6K-C6001-64P uses SFP+ downlinks instead of copper. For an existing installation, interface media and software entitlements therefore matter when reviewing a proposed chassis substitution; membership in the same switch family does not make the two connection formats interchangeable.
N6K-C6001-64T price for new stock is $53,130.00. N6K-C6001-64T refurb price is $1,976.73. N6K-C6001-64T is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

1280 Gbps switching capacity supports line-rate Ethernet forwarding across the fixed interfaces. PVRST+, MSTP, and LACP provide spanning-tree and link-aggregation functions, while vPC supports multichassis port channels. N6K-C6001-64T shares 25 MB of buffering across each group of 12 10G ports or three 40G ports, making shared-buffer allocation relevant to congestion planning. Jumbo frames reach 9216 bytes for workloads requiring larger Ethernet frames. Management includes a dedicated Ethernet interface and serial console, with remote CLI and external management access. Optional Layer 3 Base licensing permits a maximum of 256 dynamic routes; Layer 3 Enterprise licensing adds BGP, full EIGRP, and IS-IS. The base software does not enable IP unicast or multicast routing.
Order N6K-C6001-64T new sealed or certified refurbished, and specify the required configuration and included accessories on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and clean boot; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM provides new units with up to a 3-year extended warranty and certified refurbished units with up to 1 year; returns are 30 days on every condition, terms apply, and Cisco coverage ended April 30, 2022. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US, and MEA stock and RMA operations.

A staging rack that needs individual 10G connections from a QSFP+ interface can use QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M, a 3m copper breakout assembly. Map the remote interfaces and connector requirements before approving the connection plan, then specify QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M quantities and breakout configuration on the purchase order.
An existing port-side-exhaust installation needs a spare with matching cooling components rather than a mixed-airflow assembly. Record the installed airflow before approving the spare, then specify N6K-C6001-FAN-F= and N55-PAC-1100W= on the purchase order so the quoted assembly matches the required cooling orientation.
Active Cisco hardware support
Cisco support ended April 30, 2022. The historical replacement is also discontinued, and its exact replacement chain has no current successor named.
Reuse of N55-PAC-1100W-B power supplies
N6K-C6001-64T does not support N55-PAC-1100W-B. Existing power supplies carrying that part number cannot be transferred into this chassis when planning a hardware replacement.

N6K-C6001-64T identifies the Cisco Nexus 6001 copper configuration with 48 fixed 10GBASE-T ports and four QSFP+ ports. N6K-C6001 identifies the switch family; the 64T variant identifies this interface configuration. The complete part number specifies a chassis supplied with two power supplies and three fan modules.
N6K-C6001-64T is managed through the NX-OS CLI using its serial console, SSHv2, or Telnet, with SNMP and XML NETCONF for external management. Cisco DCNM provides a GUI; Cisco Fabric Manager and CiscoWorks LMS are also supported. Specify the required management software separately from the chassis.
N6K-C6001-64T is discontinued, with end of sale on April 30, 2017, and Cisco support ending April 30, 2022. Software maintenance ended April 30, 2018, and security support ended April 29, 2020. A reseller hardware purchase does not restart those Cisco lifecycle milestones.
ORM Systems offers N6K-C6001-64T new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units or up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days for every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and Cisco service ended April 30, 2022.
N6K-C6001-64T was offered with individual feature licenses or Cisco ONE Foundation and Advanced perpetual suites. Base software provides Layer 2 switching; N6K-BAS1K9 enables Layer 3 Base, while N6001-LAN1K9 adds Layer 3 Enterprise capabilities. Confirm existing entitlements rather than assuming routing rights accompany the hardware.
The Nexus 6001 copper switch supports four 10G interfaces from each fixed 40G QSFP+ port through breakout connections. QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M provides a 3m copper breakout assembly. Specify the remote connector type, connection length, and interface configuration before approving QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M quantities for the order.
OSPF and BGP require additional licenses on N6K-C6001-64T; neither is enabled by the base Layer 2 software. N6K-BAS1K9 supports OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 with a maximum of 256 dynamic routes. N6001-LAN1K9 adds BGP, full EIGRP, and IS-IS for configurations requiring broader routing features.
The Cisco Nexus 6001T does not support N55-PAC-1100W-B, despite supporting redundant hot-swappable power supplies. Power and cooling components must use matching airflow directions. Compare installed component PIDs before authorizing reuse instead of relying on wattage, chassis appearance, or a similar power supply description.
N6K-C6001-64T uses 48 copper 10GBASE-T downlinks, whereas N6K-C6001-64P uses 48 SFP+ downlinks. Both models are discontinued. The copper configuration matches installations retaining twisted-pair server connections; the SFP+ configuration matches installations already cabled for SFP+ interfaces. Compare interface media before accepting a substituted chassis.
N6K-C6001-64T occupies 1U, whereas its historical replacement N5K-C5596T-FA occupies 2U. Both are discontinued, and Cisco support for N5K-C5596T-FA ended May 31, 2024. The former fits an existing single-unit allocation; the latter needs twice the vertical rack space. Neither represents a current Cisco-supported replacement.
