Cisco N9K-X9464TX2 Nexus 9500 48-Port 1/10GBASE-T & 4-Port 40G QSFP Line Card
Enterprise Cisco Nexus 9500 48-Port 1/10GBASE-T Line Card with 4×40 Gigabit QSFP Uplinks for High-Performance Data Centers
The Cisco N9K-X9464TX2 Ethernet Line Card is a high-density data center networking module designed for Cisco Nexus 9500 Series switches. It features 48 × 1/10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports for high-speed copper connectivity and 4 × 40 Gigabit QSFP ports for high-bandwidth fiber uplinks, making it ideal for enterprise data centers, cloud infrastructure, server connectivity, and network aggregation. Built on Cisco Cloud Scale architecture, the line card delivers wire-speed Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarding with low-latency performance.
Running Cisco NX-OS, the N9K-X9464TX2 supports advanced data center technologies including VXLAN, VXLAN EVPN, vPC, MP-BGP, OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, VLANs, jumbo frames, hardware-based ACLs, multicast, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS). Its combination of dense 1/10GBASE-T connectivity and 40GbE uplinks provides flexible network expansion for leaf-spine architectures and high-performance virtualized environments.
Designed for integration with the Cisco Nexus 9500 Series modular switching platform, the Cisco N9K-X9464TX2 supports chassis-based redundancy, hot-swappable installation, programmability, and centralized management through Cisco NX-API, CLI, SNMP, and streaming telemetry. It is an excellent solution for enterprise data centers, cloud networks, high-speed server connectivity, network aggregation, leaf-spine deployments, and large-scale virtualization environments requiring scalable and reliable Ethernet connectivity.
