Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2232TM-10GE 32-Port 10G FEX Switch

Brand:

Cisco Nexus 2000 N2K-C2232TM-10GE is a 32-port 10GbE Fabric Extender designed for scalable enterprise data centers. It extends Cisco Nexus architecture, enabling centralized management, simplified operations, and high-density server connectivity with low-latency performance.

OVERVIEW

  • The Cisco Nexus 2000 Series N2K-C2232TM-10GE is a high-density 10GbE Fabric Extender designed to simplify and scale enterprise data center access layer switching. Acting as a remote line card for parent Nexus switches, it extends switching capability to server racks while keeping management centralized.
  • Built for enterprise data centers, virtualization clusters, and high-performance computing environments, it delivers 32 x 10GbE SFP+ ports for dense server aggregation with consistent low-latency forwarding. Its 1RU form factor and wire-speed Layer 2 architecture make it suitable for modern rack-scale deployments where space, power efficiency, and operational simplicity matter.
  • Compared to lower-density FEX models, this unit prioritizes higher server port concentration per rack while maintaining centralized control through Nexus parent switches. It reduces operational overhead, accelerates provisioning, and supports infrastructure modernization strategies such as hybrid cloud readiness and workload virtualization at scale.

USE CASES

  • High-density server rack aggregation in enterprise data centers
  • Virtualization clusters supporting VMware or similar platforms
  • Private cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure expansion
  • Enterprise application hosting environments
  • Storage traffic aggregation in converged infrastructure setups
  • Web-scale backend compute environments
  • Financial services low-latency trading infrastructure networks
  • Telecom and service provider edge data center deployments

KEY FEATURES

  • Designed for integration with Cisco Nexus parent switches
  • 1RU rack-mount form factor optimized for data center space efficiency
  • Simplified provisioning through centralized policy control
  • Reduced operational complexity in large-scale environments
  • Supports scalable data center expansion without redesign
  • Low-latency forwarding suitable for virtualization workloads
  • Enterprise-class reliability for mission-critical deployments
  • Optimized for rack-level server aggregation
  • Enhances infrastructure consistency across distributed environments
  • Supports high-performance enterprise LAN architectures
