N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE extends a parent Nexus switch with 32 copper host interfaces supporting 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 10 Gbps, plus eight 10G SFP+ fabric interfaces on an included uplink module. This Layer 2 fabric extender provides server connectivity rather than independent top-of-rack switching, and its host ports do not supply PoE. Cisco Nexus 2232TM-E hardware belongs to the Nexus 2000 fabric extender family and occupies one rack unit. Host traffic passes upstream to the parent switch, which controls forwarding policy and configuration. The discontinued N2K-C2232TM-E-10G= spare differs by excluding power supplies and the fan assembly. The distinction matters when comparing a configured replacement unit with bare maintenance inventory: the chassis identity alone does not establish the delivered power and airflow configuration.
N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE price for new stock is $195.29. N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE refurb price is $123.32. N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

800 Gbps hardware forwarding capacity supports the host-facing and fabric-facing data paths. 595 Mpps forwarding capacity handles packet-intensive traffic, while 4:1 host-to-fabric oversubscription limits aggregate upstream bandwidth. 300W maximum input demand sets the electrical planning allowance; typical consumption varies with copper cable length, reaching 210W at 30 m and 240W at 100 m. N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE supports jumbo frames up to 9216 bytes for workloads requiring larger Ethernet frames. Eight hardware queues per port support traffic scheduling, and 64 local policers provide traffic enforcement within the fabric extender. Local classification supports 256 ACL entries, which should remain distinct from the parent switch's broader policy capabilities. EtherChannel fabric links and PortChannel server connections support aggregated connectivity. Syslog, port indicators, and chassis status reporting provide operational visibility. Local multicast replication supports 8000 entries. These functions extend the parent-controlled access system; the fabric extender does not provide an independent Layer 3 routing control plane.
N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE is offered new sealed with ORM's up to 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year; Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and service ended September 30, 2025. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, clean boot, rated-speed port links, and optics bay recognition. Specify quantity, condition, and included components on the purchase order; every condition has 30-day returns, with terms applying. For enterprise and volume orders, PO accepted, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement are available, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When replacing a discontinued N2K-C2232TM-10GE in an existing server rack, the later copper fabric extender retains the remote-line-card architecture rather than introducing an independently administered switch. The older model reached end of sale on November 2, 2016. Match existing cabling and airflow before specifying replacement hardware.
When consolidating Ethernet and storage connections from converged network adapters, the copper host path has a specific cabling constraint: FCoE reaches 30 m with Category 6a or 7 cabling. Include adapter-to-extender cable length in the design review, and specify compatible cabling before releasing the hardware order.
When building an internal spare pool, a chassis-only inventory entry can leave the rack installation incomplete. N2200-ACC-KIT= contains rack-mount hardware, a ground lug kit, and an ESD strap. Reconcile the supplied accessory inventory against the maintenance rack before adding installation hardware to the purchase order.
Independent top-of-rack switching
Host traffic requires a parent Nexus switch; independent local switching is unavailable. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current migration endpoint and changes the configuration to 48 copper ports.
Nonblocking aggregate server bandwidth
The host-to-fabric connection is oversubscribed 4:1, so simultaneous server traffic cannot always reach full host-port capacity upstream. Size aggregate fabric demand against that constraint before selecting this hardware.

N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE identifies Nexus 2000 fabric extender hardware: N2K denotes the family, C2232TM-E identifies the Nexus 2232TM-E model, and 10GE identifies the 10 Gigabit Ethernet configuration. The complete configuration provides 32 copper host interfaces and eight SFP+ fabric interfaces. The E remains part of the model identity.
N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE is managed in-band through its parent Nexus switch using CLI, SNMP, XML interfaces, and Cisco Data Center Network Manager. CiscoWorks, NETCONF, and RMON are also supported management mechanisms. Configuration and software arrive from the parent rather than through an independent local switch management environment.
Yes, N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE reached end of sale on September 9, 2020, and Cisco support ended September 30, 2025. Security vulnerability support ended earlier, on September 9, 2023. Another hardware purchase does not restore Cisco service eligibility or restart the product's software maintenance lifecycle.
ORM Systems offers N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and service ended September 30, 2025. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested.
N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE is the hardware identity associated with N2K-C2232TM-E, the replacement for N2K-C2232TM and N2K-C2232TM-10GE. Both older ordering forms reached end of sale on November 2, 2016. The replacement retains copper server connectivity and parent-switch operation; existing airflow and supplied components still require matching.
N2K-C2232TM-E-10G= excludes power supplies and the fan assembly, whereas N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE identifies the configured fabric extender. Both are discontinued. The spare form suits maintenance inventory with compatible components already available; the configured unit suits replacement orders that must include a working power and cooling configuration.
N2K-C2232TF-E includes 16 fabric extender transceivers, while N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE requires separately specified fabric-link media. Both configurations are discontinued. The transceiver-inclusive bundle suits an existing optical fabric-link plan; the hardware configuration suits buyers retaining compatible media or specifying different supported optics and cables for the replacement order.
N9K-C93108TC-FX3P provides 48 copper downlinks, compared with 32 on N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE. The migration chain passes through the discontinued N2K-C2348TQ-E before reaching N9K-C93108TC-FX3P. The fabric extender suits maintaining an existing parent-managed rack; the current successor suits a replacement project requiring higher copper port density.
N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE supports FET-10G, SFP-10G-SR, and SFP-10G-LR for its 10G fabric connections. FET-10G requires another FET-10G at the parent end and supports 100 m over OM3 fiber. Select media for the parent interface and required distance; the included uplink module does not establish the optics supplied with an order.
The Nexus 2232TM-E supports N2200-PAC-400W and N2200-PDC-400W with port-side exhaust, or N2200-PAC-400W-B with port-side intake. Match N2K-C2232-FAN to exhaust configurations and N2K-C2232-FAN-B to intake configurations. Power supply and fan airflow must match; the hardware identity does not select one universal AC or DC configuration.
N2K-C2232TM-E-10GE provides 800 Gbps hardware forwarding capacity and 595 Mpps forwarding performance. Its fabric connection carries 80 Gbps in each direction, with 4:1 host-to-fabric oversubscription. The packet-processing rating therefore does not mean every server port can simultaneously transmit at full speed through the upstream fabric links.
Yes, the Nexus 2232TM-E supports FCoE over its copper host connections for distances up to 30 m using Category 6a or 7 cabling. The feature supports converged server connectivity, but the cable requirement applies between the server adapter and fabric extender and must be considered separately from fabric-link distance.
