Cisco Nexus N9K-C9364C-GX Fixed Spine Switch
High-Density 100G/400G Spine | 64x 40/100G QSFP28 Ports | Cloud Scale Architecture | 2RU Fixed Switch
The Cisco Nexus N9K-C9364C-GX is a high-density, 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) fixed-configuration spine switch designed for massive multi-tier data center fabrics, high-performance computing (HPC) environments, and service provider infrastructures. Equipped with 64 non-blocking, line-rate 40G/100G QSFP28 ports, this platform provides up to 12.8 Tbps of total switching capacity and up to 4.35 Bpps of forwarding performance. Powered by Cisco's advanced Cloud Scale ASIC technology, it delivers high-performance multi-rate networking, ultra-low latency, and hardware-embedded streaming telemetry. Optimized to act as a resilient data center spine leaf, it natively supports comprehensive Layer 3 routing, VXLAN EVPN fabrics, and advanced security orchestration.
Key Technical Features
* Unprecedented 100G Port Density
Provides 64 native 40/100G QSFP28 ports in a dense 2RU fixed form factor, offering massive fabric bandwidth capabilities for large enterprise core layers.
* Cloud Scale ASIC Performance
Utilizes Cisco Cloud Scale architecture to achieve non-blocking, line-rate performance with minimal power consumption and ultra-low jitter metrics.
* High-Velocity Thermal Cooling
Employs 3 high-performance NXA-FAN-65CFM fan modules to deliver optimized high-airflow cooling necessary to sustain heavy optical component loads.
* Hardware-Embedded Telemetry
Monitors wire-speed flow tables and tracks utilization statistics directly on the ASIC level, feeding data straight to external network analytical tools.
* Power Grid Customization
Features 2 hot-swappable power supply bays with support for dual 1100W or heavy-duty 2000W AC power supplies to achieve stable N+1 redundancy profiles.
* Bi-Directional Airflow Flexibility
Supports strict user selection for Port-Side Intake (Burgundy) or Port-Side Exhaust (Blue) layouts to seamlessly align with standard hot/cold aisle parameters.
