Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Professionally tested to factory specification. Backed by 25+ years of enterprise trust.
This refurbished Cisco N3K-C3064PQ-10GX is the Nexus 3064-X — a 1RU top-of-rack switch featuring 48 SFP+ ports and 4 QSFP+ uplink ports. Each SFP+ port operates at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 10 Gbps, while each QSFP+ port supports native 40 Gbps or 4 x 10 Gbps mode. This unit ships with dual AC power supplies and has been professionally tested and reset to factory defaults.Built on Cisco NX-OS, the 3064-X delivers line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching at up to 1.2 Tbps and 950 million packets per second — all in a compact 1RU form factor. As a true PHY-less switch, it is engineered for ultra-low latency and low power consumption, making it an ideal fit for high-frequency trading environments, financial co-location deployments, and dense data center architectures. Virtual PortChannel (vPC) support eliminates Spanning Tree Protocol constraints and enables full bisectional bandwidth utilization.
At $175, this unit represents a substantial savings versus new MSRP. WhaleyComm is ISO 9001, R2v3, e-Stewards, and UNEDA certified — and every unit ships with our Lifetime Warranty. Organizations that need proven Cisco Nexus performance without the new-hardware price tag rely on WhaleyComm to deliver it.

Ideal Use Cases
Data Center Top-of-Rack Deployment
The Nexus 3064-X is purpose-built as a top-of-rack switch, connecting server downlinks at 10 Gbps while uplinks at 40 Gbps connect to spine or aggregation layers — minimizing cable runs and maximizing density.
High-Frequency Trading and Financial Co-Location
The ultra-low latency PHY-less architecture and sub-microsecond switching make this switch a proven platform for HFT environments and financial co-location facilities where every nanosecond matters.
Enterprise Spine-Leaf Fabric
With 4 x QSFP+ uplinks supporting 40 Gbps or 4 x 10 Gbps breakout, this switch integrates seamlessly into spine-leaf fabrics alongside other Cisco Nexus platforms running NX-OS.
Big Data and Cloud Infrastructure
The 1.2 Tbps switching capacity and 950 Mpps forwarding rate can sustain the high-bandwidth, low-latency workloads generated by Hadoop clusters, distributed storage, and private cloud compute nodes.
Network Traffic Monitoring and Tap Aggregation
When paired with Cisco Nexus Data Broker, the 3064-X supports scalable tap and SPAN aggregation infrastructure, replacing traditional purpose-built matrix switches at a fraction of the cost.
Campus and Enterprise Network Upgrade
Existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure can be preserved during migration — the SFP+ ports operate in 1 Gbps mode, providing a cost-effective path to 10 Gbps without forklift upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes. The default NX-OS software includes a comprehensive Layer 2 feature set and a basic Layer 3 feature set. Advanced Layer 3 IP routing functions — such as full OSPF, BGP, and multicast — require an additional LAN Enterprise license to be installed. Contact our team to confirm the license state of this specific unit before purchase.
The standard airflow model uses port-side exhaust, meaning air enters through the fan tray and power supplies and exits through the port side. The reversed airflow (-B) version uses port-side intake, where air enters through the ports and exits through the fan tray — designed for hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment environments. This listing ships with dual AC power supplies; confirm the airflow direction with our team if your rack layout requires a specific orientation.
Yes. Each QSFP+ port supports either native 40 Gbps mode or a 4 x 10 Gbps breakout mode using a splitter cable with a QSFP+ transceiver on one end and four SFP+ transceivers on the other, allowing direct connectivity to upstream 10 Gbps switches.
Yes. Every WhaleyComm unit ships with a Lifetime Warranty. If it fails under normal operating conditions at any point, we replace it at no cost — no time limits, no questions asked.
Every unit goes through our ISO 9001-certified testing process: full power-on diagnostics, port-by-port functionality testing, firmware verification, factory reset, and final inspection. A Certificate of Testing ships with every unit.
