3538x Link

provides a dense 1RU form factor with high-speed port configurations:

) is a high-performance, ultra-low-latency Ethernet switch designed primarily for High-Frequency Trading (HFT) and large-scale data center environments. It is part of the Nexus 3500 platform and is known for its proprietary technology, which minimizes latency to as low as 250 nanoseconds. Key Hardware Specifications

The standout feature of the 3500 series is , which enables several specialized operating modes: provides a dense 1RU form factor with high-speed

The switch runs , providing a robust Layer 2 and Layer 3 feature set:

: Equipped with a 1.5-GHz dual-core Intel Gladden processor and 4 GB of ECC DDR3 memory. : Includes two 10/100/1000 management ports, one RS-232

: Includes two 10/100/1000 management ports, one RS-232 serial console port, one USB port, and a 1-PPS timing port for precise synchronization. Algo Boost & Low Latency Features

: Reduces latency by bypassing certain internal processes when the switch is in a "steady-state" L2/L3 environment. Software and Management

: Provides real-time visibility into buffer utilization to help prevent micro-burst congestion. Software and Management
