Description
The Cisco N2K-C2232PP is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric extender designed to deliver high-density connectivity and simplified management for data center environments. Built to integrate seamlessly with Cisco Nexus switches, this 1RU device provides 32 fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ host ports and 8 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric uplinks. Its compact and efficient design allows for optimized rack space usage while maintaining high throughput and low latency. Ideal for top-of-rack deployments, the N2K-C2232PP extends the parent switch’s feature set, streamlining operations across large-scale networks.
This model supports both copper and fiber SFP+ transceivers, offering flexibility in cabling and deployment options. It includes dual hot-swappable power supplies and fan modules, enhancing redundancy and minimizing downtime in mission-critical environments. With support for Cisco Fabric Extender Technology (FEX), it simplifies the network architecture by centralizing configuration and management through the parent switch. When purchasing used, buyers should verify the condition of the power supplies, fan modules, and SFP+ ports to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
