Cisco N9K-X9464TX2 Nexus 9500 48-Port 10G-T Line Card | QSFP+ Enterprise — N9K-X9464TX2

Extend Cisco Nexus 9500 switching capacity with a line card designed for high-density copper access and fast uplink paths. The N9K-X9464TX2 provides 48 1/10GBASE-T RJ-45 ports for connecting servers, appliances, and aggregation devices over twisted-pair cabling, along with 4 QSFP+ expansion slots for 40 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks. This module fits Cisco Nexus 9500 Platform Switches and is suited for environments where 10GBASE-T simplifies server connectivity while QSFP+ uplinks preserve bandwidth to the fabric or optical network. It is a practical choice for teams standardizing on copper at the edge but still requiring a clean path to higher-speed aggregation. With 48 ports in a single line card, it helps maximize chassis value and reduce the number of modules needed to reach target port counts. That density matters in enterprise data centers where rack space, power, and operational consistency all carry real cost. For infrastructure teams building around the Nexus 9500 architecture, this card adds capacity with the port mix needed for mixed-access deployments.
