N3K-C3016Q-40GE Overview
Sixteen QSFP+ ports in the original Nexus 3016 chassis
Cisco N3K-C3016Q-40GE is the Nexus 3016, a 1RU switch with sixteen QSFP+ interfaces. Each interface supports native 40G or four-lane 10G operation. Breakout changes the connection arrangement; it does not turn the chassis into a device with sixty-four separate front-panel cages.
This ordering line excludes power supplies and the fan tray
The exact lifecycle table describes N3K-C3016Q-40GE without power supplies or a fan tray. Treat those parts as a procurement prerequisite, not an assumed inclusion. Confirm compatible power units, fan assembly and matching airflow on the quotation before planning a working installation.
Match the link map to supported optics and cabling
List the required native 40G and breakout connections, including peer ports and cable reach. Verify supported modules and software configuration for that arrangement. The chassis PID is not a transceiver manifest, and it does not establish the optional software entitlement present on an individual unit.
The manufacturer support window has already closed
Cisco ended sale on October 21, 2015 and reached the final support date on October 31, 2020. The notice names N3K-C3132Q-40GX as a historical migration reference. Check that platform independently for current lifecycle and operational suitability; an old replacement row is not evidence that a successor remains supported.
