Data Sheet
Cisco Nexus 6001 Switch
In today’s data centers, virtualization deployments have become commonplace, and
this trend is increasing rapidly with the availability of 10 Gigabit Ethernet servers at
attraction prices. The combination of increased adoption of these servers and
applications with higher bandwidth requirements is increasing the need for dense 10
and 40 Gigabit Ethernet switching. Moreover, data center architecture is evolving as
customers seek to build large-scale nonblocking fabrics to accommodate different
applications.

6001 Switch is part of a robust fabric that can scale significantly to meet data center growth,
delivering architectural flexibility that enables any data center to be a more agile, cost-effective, and efficient
environment. The Cisco Nexus 6001 Switch is an important component of the Cisco Unified Data Center
architecture, complementing existing Cisco Nexus switches. The Cisco Nexus 6001 is an energy-efficient switch
that offers high port density in one rack unit (1RU), supports 10 and 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over
Ethernet (FCoE), provides integrated Layer 2 and 3 features at wire speed, and offers low latency of approximately
1 microsecond for any packet size. With a choice of front-to-back (port side exhaust) and back-to-front (port side
intake) airflow options, the switch is designed for a broad range of traditional data center and large-scale virtualized
cloud deployments.
The Nexus 6001 Switch runs the industry-leading Cisco NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers
with features and capabilities that are widely deployed around the world. Cisco NX-OS Software is a purpose-built
data center operating system designed for performance, resiliency, scalability, manageability, and programmability.
It meets Ethernet and storage networking requirements, providing a robust and comprehensive feature set that can
meet the demanding requirements of virtualization and automation in present and future data centers. The Cisco
enhanced fabric solution allows the transparent integration of the virtual and physical devices on a unified network.
In addition, the comprehensive Cisco NX-OS service set can be used to create unique innovations for customized
solutions.
The Cisco Nexus 6001 Switch comes in these configurations:

Cisco Nexus 6001P - The Cisco Nexus 6001P (Figure 1) is a 1RU, 10- and 40- Gigabit Ethernet switch
offering wire-speed performance for up to sixty-four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports (using Quad Small
Form-Factor Pluggable [QSFP] breakout cables) for Ethernet and FCoE traffic, with an overall throughput of
1.28 terabits per second (Tbps). The Cisco Nexus 6001P offers 48 fixed 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet Enhanced
Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) ports and four 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ ports. Each 40 Gigabit
Ethernet port can be split into four 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports using a QSFP+ breakout cable. The Cisco
Nexus 6001P delivers low port-to-port latency of approximately 1 microsecond and low jitter independent of
packet size using cut-through switching architecture and with features enabled.
