MSN4600C
NVIDIA Spectrum-3 based 100GbE 2U Open Ethernet Switch with 64 QSFP28 ports, 2 Power Supplies (AC), x86 CPU, standard depth, P2C airflow, Rail Kit
NVIDIA Spectrum SN4000
Positioning
Inherited from the NVIDIA Spectrum SN4000 family — positioning is family-scoped in the graph
Spectrum-3 fixed switches — 400 G data-center leaf/spine for traditional Ethernet and lossless RoCE. Predates the Spectrum-X fabric-bundle positioning (which starts at SN5000 / Spectrum-4).
Price band: Mid-to-high

About this data
Where the specifications on this page come from
Where does the MSN4600C data come from?
The MSN4600C specifications on this page are sourced from NVIDIA's published datasheets and product documentation. SKUit extracts and normalises those values into its product catalog, the same data its BOM builder uses. This page summarises them; it is not NVIDIA's datasheet, and the original documents are published by NVIDIA.
