Cisco Systems N3K-C3016Q-40GE= - Nexus 3016Q-40GE 1RU 16P 40GE Switch No P

The Cisco Nexus 3016 switch is a 1 rack unit (RU) switch that supports 16 fixed 40-Gigabit Ethernet downlink (host-facing) and uplink (network-facing) ports two fixed 100/1000 management ports one RS-232 console port and one USB port. The switch includes one or two power supply units and one fan tray module both of which provide either forward or reverse air flow for cooling.The Cisco Nexus 3016 has 16 QSFP+ ports. QSFP+ technology allows smooth transition from 10 to 40 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure in data centers. Each of the Cisco Nexus 3016 Switch's QSFP+ ports can operate in either native 40 Gigabit Ethernet mode or 4 x 10 Gigabit Ethernet mode. This switch supports both fiber and copper cabling solutions for these two modes.For low-cost cabling copper-based 40-Gbps Twinax cables can be used and for longer cable reaches short-reach optical transceivers are excellent. Connectivity can be established from the QSFP ports to 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches or hosts using a splitter cable that has a QSFP transceiver on one end and four SFP+ transceivers on the other end. Similar capability can be achieved on the fiber solution by using QSFP+ SR4 transceivers on both ends and procuring third-party fiber splitter MPO-to-LC cables. Table 1 lists the QSFP transceiver types supported.
