Mellanox SN4600C Spectrum-3 64-Port 200GbE Ethernet Switch

The Mellanox SN4600C delivers high-density spine connectivity for data centre fabrics that need broad 100GbE aggregation. Its 64-port QSFP56 design and Layer 3 switching help build scalable, economical networks with flexible expansion.

Guide price: Price range: £5,995.00 through £19,995.00 Ex. VAT

Overview

As fabrics grow denser, infrastructure teams need more 100GbE aggregation, cleaner fan-out, and a platform that keeps pace with expansion without forcing an early redesign.

High-Density Spine for Established 100GbE Fabrics

The Mellanox SN4600C is a 2U switch for spine and super-spine tiers in environments built around 100GbE connectivity. With 64×QSFP56 ports and 25600 Gbps switching capacity, it suits consolidated racks, clustered platforms, and large aggregation layers.

Built for Broad Link Counts and Flexible Integration

Its port density supports many uplinks in a single chassis, which helps reduce switch sprawl in busy fabrics. The Onyx and Cumulus Linux operating system options give teams flexibility in how they align the switch with their existing operational model.

Operational Fit Where Scale Matters More Than Port Size

The SN4600C helps preserve a 100GbE standard while extending capacity across more racks and services. That makes planning simpler, keeps aggregation economical, and supports steady growth without unnecessary platform churn.

Key Features​

The Mellanox SN4600C is a data center switching platform for high-performance network fabrics, designed to support dense connectivity and scalable throughput in modern enterprise environments.

Dense Fabric Connectivity

High-Density Port Layout
The switch provides 64×QSFP56 ports to support dense fabric aggregation and flexible uplink or downlink planning.

200G Ethernet Capability
The platform supports maximum port speeds of 200G to align high-bandwidth connectivity with demanding east-west traffic patterns.

Scalable Switching Capacity
The switching architecture delivers 25,600 Gbps of capacity to support high-throughput network designs.

Fabric Consolidation
The port architecture is suited to consolidating multiple high-speed connections into a single switching layer for streamlined data center design.

Operational Fabric Control

Enterprise Network Planning
The platform is structured for predictable deployment in switched data center environments where capacity and port density must be aligned.

High-Speed Traffic Handling
The switching design supports sustained high-speed traffic movement across the fabric without relying on low-density edge aggregation.

Architecture-Led Scaling
The model supports scale-out network builds by combining port density and aggregate capacity in a single switch platform.

Deployment Scenarios

The Nvidia Mellanox SN4600C is a high port-count 100GbE switch for spine and aggregation layers in environments that need broad fan-out, not an early move to 400GbE. It fits large fabrics where scale, density and orderly traffic aggregation are the main pressures.

100GbE Spine Layers in Large Data Centres

In established data centres, the SN4600C supports spine and super-spine tiers where many racks must be aggregated on a 100GbE standard. Teams choose it to expand the fabric cleanly without redesigning the whole network around faster links.

Clinical and Research Data Centre Interconnects

Healthcare estates with multiple compute, storage and analytics racks often need dependable 100GbE uplinks between departments and core platforms. The SN4600C gives them the port density to connect those systems without adding unnecessary redesign pressure.

Enterprise Trading and Risk Fabrics

Finance teams running wide rack estates need efficient 100GbE aggregation for trading support, risk and analytics traffic. The SN4600C helps consolidate many leaf connections economically while keeping the fabric aligned to an existing speed standard.

Shared Engineering and AI Platform Backbones

Software development organisations with multi-rack labs, shared services and AI storage domains need strong east-west connectivity at scale. The SN4600C provides a dense 100GbE backbone that keeps many nodes on one operationally simple layer.

Telco Cloud and NFV Aggregation

Telecoms environments depend on dense 100GbE spine capacity for cloud-native cores, NFV and packet-processing fabrics. The SN4600C suits that role where broad fan-out and predictable aggregation matter more than fewer, higher-speed uplinks.
