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. Factory reset. Backed by 25+ years of enterprise hardware trust.
This refurbished Cisco N3K-C3064PQ-10GX is a 1RU Nexus 3064-X switch featuring 48 SFP+ ports and 4 QSFP+ ports. Every unit has been professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and inspected to WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified standard before shipment. At $249, this is an exceptional value for a platform that lists at a significant multiple of that price new.The N3K-C3064PQ-10GX delivers 1.28 Tbps of switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 950 Mpps with line-rate Layer 2 and Layer 3 throughput on all ports. The 48 SFP+ ports support 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, while each of the 4 QSFP+ ports supports either 40 Gigabit Ethernet or 4x10 Gigabit Ethernet breakout — making this switch equally capable as a dense top-of-rack access layer device and as a 40G aggregation node. The switch runs Cisco NX-OS and supports vPC, POAP, EEM, PTP, forward airflow, and reversed airflow configurations with both AC and DC power supply options.
For data center teams looking to scale 10G access density or add 40G uplink capacity without new-equipment spend, the N3K-C3064PQ-10GX at $249 represents a compelling acquisition. WhaleyComm has served 5,000+ enterprise customers across 25+ years — every unit we ship carries a Lifetime Warranty with no time limits and no questions asked.

Ideal Use Cases
10G Top-of-Rack Server Access
With 48 SFP+ ports running at up to 10 Gbps each, the N3K-C3064PQ-10GX is purpose-built for dense top-of-rack deployments, connecting servers directly within the rack while keeping cable runs short and latency minimal.
40G Aggregation and Spine Uplinks
The four QSFP+ ports each support 40 Gigabit Ethernet, enabling direct uplinks to spine or aggregation switches — making this platform equally effective as a leaf switch in a spine-leaf fabric.
High-Frequency Trading and Ultra-Low-Latency Environments
The Nexus 3064-X was designed from the ground up for ultra-low-latency operation, making it well suited for financial co-location facilities and HFT environments that demand deterministic, sub-microsecond forwarding behavior.
Data Center Fabric Expansion on a Constrained Budget
At $249 refurbished, this switch allows data center teams to add high-density 10G capacity and 40G uplinks at a fraction of new-equipment cost, without sacrificing Cisco NX-OS feature depth or hardware quality.
vPC and Multi-Pathing Layer 2 Fabrics
Native vPC support on NX-OS eliminates Spanning Tree Protocol bottlenecks, enabling fully utilized bisectional bandwidth across Layer 2 topologies — ideal for virtualized and scale-out workloads.
Mixed AC and DC Colocation Environments
The N3K-C3064PQ-10GX supports both AC and DC power inputs along with forward and reversed airflow configurations, giving colocation operators the flexibility to meet a wide range of cabinet and facility standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
Yes. The switch ships with either forward airflow (port-side exhaust) or reversed airflow (port-side intake) configurations depending on the SKU suffix. Compatible fan modules include the N3K-C3064-FAN (forward) and N3K-C3064-FAN-B (reversed). Verify which airflow direction your unit carries before deployment to match your cabinet's cooling scheme.
Yes. Each of the four QSFP+ ports supports either a native 40 Gigabit Ethernet connection or a 4x10 Gigabit Ethernet breakout using a QSFP-to-SFP+ splitter cable. This gives the switch effective flexibility as both a 40G uplink platform and a high-density 10G aggregation point.
Yes. The base NX-OS image includes comprehensive Layer 2 features and a basic Layer 3 feature set. Advanced Layer 3 IP routing functions require an additional LAN Enterprise License (L-N3K-LAN1K9=). Contact our team for licensing guidance specific to your deployment.
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.
