DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 provides eight activated Fibre Channel connections with bundled DS-SFP-FC16G-SW shortwave optics for 16G storage links. Native 32G operation requires different transceivers; the DS-C9132T-8PMETK9 bundle includes DS-SFP-FC32G-SW optics instead. The MDS 9132T is a managed storage-fabric switch with 16 built-in fiber-port positions and an unpopulated expansion slot, rather than an Ethernet access switch with dedicated uplinks. Its 1RU enclosure supports server-rack SAN installations connecting host initiators and storage targets. SCSI and NVMe/FC workloads can coexist on the same links without requiring separate switching hardware for each storage transport. Within the Cisco MDS 9100 Series Multilayer Fabric Switches family, this configuration uses Fibre Channel ports for endpoint and inter-switch connections, so fabric links belong in the initial connection schedule alongside attached hosts and storage.

1024 Gbps aggregate end-to-end full-duplex bandwidth is the fully expanded switch maximum, not the throughput of the starting port entitlement. 500 default buffer credits per port establish the initial credit allocation; a single port can receive 8270 credits within its 16-port group. Port channels support 16 load-balanced physical links when sufficient ports are activated, making member count part of fabric planning. DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 provides two out-of-band Gigabit management interfaces and remote CLI access using SSHv2. SNMPv3 and NX-API over HTTPS support monitoring and integration, while an onboard Python interpreter and Cisco Embedded Event Manager support automation. Secure Boot and anticounterfeiting hardware protect startup components. IVR and traffic encryption require an Enterprise entitlement rather than the base feature set. Fibre Channel ping, traceroute and ISL diagnostics provide separate troubleshooting checks. The chassis power requirement is specified at 180W maximum; the installed DS-CAC-650W-E supply rating is not the switch's operating consumption.
Specify new sealed or certified refurbished DS-C9132T-8PMESK9, and confirm the condition and included accessories on the purchase order. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed port links, optics-bay and module-bay recognition, PSU and fan status, and a clean boot; firmware is verified and configurations are wiped to factory default. ORM Systems provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Enterprise and volume POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30, and regional stock and RMA with advance replacement cover the UK, EU, US and MEA.
| Key Specs | Key Spec Values |
|---|---|
Operating System | Cisco NX-OS |
Port Configuration | 8 active FC ports / 8 DS-SFP-FC16G-SW optics |
Max Power Draw | 180W chassis maximum |
Cooling | 2 fan modules / Port-side exhaust / DS-C32S-FAN-E= spares |
When replacing a server-rack SAN edge connected to a larger fabric, the switch can operate in switch mode or NPV mode. That choice affects how the new device joins the existing storage network. Confirm the required operating mode and neighboring fabric compatibility before specifying the purchase order.
When standardizing storage racks across locations, retain at least 64 mm between walls and chassis air vents. The cooling-air inlet must face the cold aisle, with exhaust directed toward the hot aisle. Confirm cabinet clearances and equipment orientation at each site before fixing the equipment schedule.
When staging switches before a site rollout, complete initial configuration before connecting the management port to the LAN. Serial-console setup uses 9600 baud, eight data bits, one stop bit and no parity. Prepare the terminal connection and initial configuration checklist before releasing each staged unit against the purchase order.
32G links using included optics
The included DS-SFP-FC16G-SW optics provide 16G links. DS-C9132T-8PMETK9 includes DS-SFP-FC32G-SW optics for buyers specifying compatible 32G connections from installation.
Port-side intake airflow
DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 exhausts cooling air through the port side and does not meet an intake-airflow requirement. DS-C9132T-8PMISK9 is the corresponding eight-active-port intake-airflow bundle.
Redundant cooling in the base configuration
The two-fan configuration has no cooling redundancy. Four operating fans provide redundancy; specify additional DS-C32S-FAN-E= fan modules when redundant cooling is required on delivery.

DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 identifies the MDS 9132T bundle with eight active Fibre Channel ports, eight DS-SFP-FC16G-SW shortwave optics and port-side exhaust airflow. The DS-C9132T portion names the switch model, while the complete ordering identifier selects this eight-port, 16G-optics configuration. One DS-CAC-650W-E power supply is included.
DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 supports serial-console CLI, remote CLI using SSHv2, SNMPv3, SMI-S, NX-API over HTTPS and Cisco DCNM management. NDFC is the successor name for DCNM. Two out-of-band Ethernet interfaces support management connectivity, while in-band IP over Fibre Channel provides another management-access path.
DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 uses perpetual port activation separately from optional Advantage or Premier subscriptions, each starting at one year. Advantage includes Enterprise and NDFC; Premier adds SAN Analytics. Existing Enterprise and DCNM Advanced licenses are legacy paths, while SAN Insights has a three-year term. Smart Licensing using Policy requires a Smart Account.
Eight Fibre Channel ports are active on DS-C9132T-8PMESK9, with sixteen port positions built into the base chassis. M9132T-PL8-SL= activates eight additional base ports. M9XT-FC1632 adds sixteen active expansion ports, producing 24 active ports from this starting configuration; combining both upgrades reaches 32 active ports.
No, DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 includes one DS-CAC-650W-E power supply, so redundant power is not present in the base bundle. The chassis accepts a second matching supply, available separately as DS-CAC-650W-E=. Separate power feeds require appropriate power connections and a dedicated branch circuit for each installed supply.
No, the MDS 9132T eight-port bundle includes two operating fan modules, which provide cooling without redundancy. Four operating fans support continued operation after up to two fan failures. Additional port-side exhaust fan modules are available as DS-C32S-FAN-E=; one or three operating fans constitute an error condition.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for MDS 9132T. DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 is not included among the traditional-software-license bundles whose end-of-sale milestone was October 4, 2025. Those bundle retirements do not establish a hardware retirement date or a replacement PID for this eight-port configuration.
ORM Systems offers DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions carry 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's limited hardware warranty is separate from ORM's coverage and remains governed by the original product warranty terms.
DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 includes eight DS-SFP-FC16G-SW 16G shortwave optics; DS-C9132T-8PMETK9 includes eight DS-SFP-FC32G-SW 32G shortwave optics. Both start with eight active Fibre Channel ports. The former suits an initial 16G connection schedule, while the latter supplies 32G optics for compatible hosts, storage or inter-switch links.
DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 uses port-side exhaust airflow, whereas DS-C9132T-8PMISK9 uses port-side intake airflow. The exhaust configuration draws cooling air from the rear and discharges it through the ports; the intake configuration reverses that direction. The appropriate bundle depends on which chassis end faces the rack's cold aisle.
DS-C9132T-8PMESK9 starts with eight active Fibre Channel ports, whereas DS-C9132T-24PETK9 starts with 24 active ports. The eight-port configuration suits a smaller initial connection schedule. The 24-port model suits orders requiring more connections active on delivery rather than relying on subsequent port activation and expansion work.
