N2K-C2232PP-10GE is a 1RU Cisco Nexus 2232PP 10GE fabric extender for data center server access, with 32 dual-rate 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ host interfaces and eight fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ fabric interfaces to a parent Nexus switch. The Layer 2 platform runs under Cisco NX-OS on the parent and is managed as part of the upstream switch rather than as a standalone access switch. FCoE and DCB support make the Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender fit unified-fabric racks where converged adapters terminate on SFP+ twinax or optics. N2K-C2232TM-10GE keeps the 32-host-port format but changes the server side to 1/10GBASE-T copper.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE price for new stock is $434.70, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $869.40. N2K-C2232PP-10GE refurb price is $60.92. N2K-C2232PP-10GE is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

800 Gbps switching capacity and 595 Mpps hardware forwarding support high-density top-of-rack fabric extension without local Layer 3 routing. 80 Gbps of fabric bandwidth is available in each direction, with 4:1 oversubscription between host interfaces and fabric links. N2K-C2232PP-10GE supports Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000 and 9000 Series parent switches, with minimum NX-OS releases varying by parent platform. In-band management includes SNMP v1, v2 and v3, XML/NETCONF, Cisco Data Center Network Manager and CLI through the parent switch. 270W maximum input operating power is specified for a fully loaded system with two power supplies and one fan tray. The chassis uses N2200-PAC-400W AC supplies for standard airflow, N2K-C2232-FAN cooling, 1:1 power redundancy, POST diagnostics and front and rear locator LEDs.
New sealed and certified refurbished N2K-C2232PP-10GE units are available for orders that need this exact Nexus 2232PP fabric extender profile. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, optics bay recognition, PSU status and N2K-C2232-FAN status. Add this switch to the PO with any required FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, SFP-10G-LR or SFP-H10GB-CU3M media so the shipment matches the rack. ORM accepts PO orders, Net-30 for government, RMA with advance replacement, UK, EU, US and MEA stock/RMA, up to 3-year extended warranty on new, up to 1 year on certified refurbished and 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply.

A rack using converged network adapters for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and FCoE can terminate 32 SFP/SFP+ host links on this fabric extender. Before the PO, specify host optics or twinax, fabric-link optics, parent-switch compatibility and whether the standard-airflow N2K-C2232-FAN direction matches the rack.
A data center extending Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000 or 9000 switching into server rows can use the eight 10GE fabric interfaces as the uplink boundary. Check the parent NX-OS release, supported topology and 80 Gbps per-direction fabric speed before ordering transceivers.
An installed Nexus 2232PP environment past Cisco support may need like-for-like spares for RMA stock. Order the same airflow and AC power configuration, include N2200-PAC-400W supplies where required, and match FET-10G or SFP+ media already deployed in the rack.
Standalone data center switch
Fabric extenders depend on a parent Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000 or 9000 switch and are not standalone switches; use N9K-C93180YC-FX3 for current independent 1/10/25G switching.
25G server access
Host interfaces top out at 1/10GE SFP/SFP+ and fabric interfaces are 10GE SFP+; use N9K-C93180YC-FX3 for 48 ports of 1/10/25G and 40/100G uplinks.
RJ-45 server cabling
The server-facing ports are SFP/SFP+ cages, not copper RJ-45; N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the named current alternative for 48 multigigabit copper ports.
PoE endpoint power
The platform provides no PoE output because all host and fabric interfaces are SFP/SFP+ cages, so it will not power phones, cameras or wireless access points.

N2K-C2232PP-10GE identifies a Cisco Nexus 2232PP 10GE fabric extender. N2K ties the PID to the Nexus 2000 fabric extender family, C2232PP identifies the Nexus 2232PP hardware, and 10GE matches the 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ host and fabric-interface configuration.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE is managed through the parent Nexus switch using in-band management, DCNM, standard SNMP, XML/NETCONF and CLI. The fabric extender downloads its software image from the parent switch, so management policy and NX-OS compatibility must be checked on the upstream platform.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE is end-of-sale and past Cisco support. End-of-sale was 9 September 2020, last ship was 9 December 2020, and last date of support was 30 September 2025. The named replacement path runs through N2K-C2348UPQ, which was later replaced with N9K-C93180YC-FX3.
ORM Systems offers N2K-C2232PP-10GE new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco service ended 30 September 2025, while ORM offers up to 3-year extended coverage on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE does not use a separately ordered software license tier. The fabric extender software is embedded in the parent switch NX-OS image and downloads in-band like a remote line card, so the parent switch software release controls feature availability and compatibility.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE has 32 dual-rate 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ host interfaces and eight fixed 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ fabric interfaces. Host ports require SFP or SFP+ transceivers, and fabric ports require SFP+ transceivers; optics are separate.
No, N2K-C2232PP-10GE cannot operate as a standalone switch. The fabric extender behaves like a remote line card for a Cisco Nexus 5000, 6000, 7000 or 9000 Series parent switch, with traffic forwarded through fabric links and features derived from the parent.
Yes, Cisco Nexus 2232PP 10GE supports FCoE and DCB on the fabric extender. FCoE traffic is tied to supported SFP/SFP+ server connectivity and supported fabric links, making parent-switch compatibility and transceiver selection part of the purchase check.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE ships with two AC power supplies and one standard-airflow N2K-C2232-FAN fan module. The standard AC supply PID is N2200-PAC-400W, 1:1 power redundancy is supported, and reversed airflow uses N2200-PAC-400W-B with N2K-C2232-FAN-B.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE supports FET-10G for fabric links, SFP-10G-SR and SFP-10G-LR optics, SFP-H10GB-CU1M, SFP-H10GB-CU3M and SFP-H10GB-CU5M passive Twinax, and SFP-H10GB-ACU7M or SFP-H10GB-ACU10M active Twinax. Match host and fabric media to the parent switch.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE is a 1RU rack-mounted fabric extender for 19-inch racks. The chassis measures 43.7 mm high, 439.4 mm wide and 449.6 mm deep, weighs 8.3 kg fully loaded with two power supplies and one fan tray, and operates from 0°C to 40°C.
No, N2K-C2232PP-10GE provides no PoE output. The hardware is a data center fabric extender with SFP/SFP+ host interfaces and SFP+ fabric interfaces, so it suits server NIC, CNA, optic or twinax connectivity rather than powered endpoint access.
N2K-C2232PP-10GE uses 32 SFP/SFP+ host interfaces, while N2K-C2232TM-10GE uses 32 1/10GBASE-T RJ-45 host interfaces with an eight-port 10GE SFP+ uplink module. Choose N2K-C2232PP-10GE for twinax or optical server links and N2K-C2232TM-10GE for copper server cabling.
N2K-C2248PQ carries 48 1/10GE SFP+ host ports and four QSFP+ fabric ports, while N2K-C2232PP-10GE carries 32 1/10GE SFP/SFP+ host ports and eight 10GE SFP+ fabric ports. Choose N2K-C2248PQ for higher SFP+ host density and QSFP+ fabric cabling, and N2K-C2232PP-10GE for the 32-port SFP+ FEX profile.
N9K-C93180YC-FX3 is a Nexus 9300 switch with 48 1/10/25G ports and six 40/100G ports, while N2K-C2232PP-10GE is a Nexus 2000 fabric extender with 32 1/10GE host interfaces and eight 10GE fabric interfaces. Choose N9K-C93180YC-FX3 for current standalone switching and N2K-C2232PP-10GE for installed FEX environments.
