Copper Server Access With Centralized Parent Switching

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT is a parent-dependent fabric extender, not a standalone Ethernet switch. Its 32 copper host interfaces support 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps connections, while four fixed QSFP+ fabric interfaces connect upstream at 40 Gbps. The non-PoE, 1U chassis belongs to the Nexus 2300 family and extends a compatible parent switch into the server rack. All host traffic, including communication between attached servers, passes through the parent for switching and policy enforcement. The discontinued N2K-C2348TQ differs in copper host-port density, providing 48 ports rather than 32.

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT price for new stock is $2,315.24. N2K-C2332TQ-10GT refurb price is $273.00. N2K-C2332TQ-10GT is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

960 Gbps hardware forwarding capacity and 1440 Mpps describe internal processing capability; the fabric connection carries 160 Gbps in each direction. Shared buffering provides 32 MB for traffic bursts, while eight hardware queues per port support traffic scheduling. Jumbo frames reach 9216 bytes for applications requiring larger Ethernet frames. N2K-C2332TQ-10GT receives its operating image from the parent rather than maintaining an independently configured switching system. Management includes the parent CLI, Cisco Data Center Network Manager, CiscoWorks, SNMP and XML interfaces. Independent local switching is absent, so parent connectivity remains necessary even for traffic between neighboring host ports.

Ordering

Specify N2K-C2332TQ-10GT in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and identify the required supplied components on the PO. Certified 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 fan status. ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units, up to 1 year on certified refurbished units, and 30-day returns on every condition, with terms applying; Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and service ended September 30, 2025. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted POs, Net-30 for government and RMA with advance replacement across UK, EU, US and MEA operations.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Completed Cisco service lifecycle

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT has no remaining Cisco service after September 30, 2025. Migration proceeds through discontinued N2K-C2348TQ-E to current N9K-C93108TC-FX3P, which changes the deployment from a fabric extender to a standalone switch.

Select fabric connectivity separately

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT requires separately selected fabric connectivity. Specify compatible optics such as QSFP-40G-SR-BD or an active cable such as QSFP-H40G-ACU7M; passive copper fabric cables are unsupported.

No extender license required

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT requires no fabric-extender license or minimum subscription term. Keep parent-switch feature licensing separate from the hardware order; the operating image is supplied through the parent association process.

Association And Staging

When staging a replacement fabric extender, the parent must discover and associate the unit before host connectivity becomes operational. The parent supplies the software image and configuration; the extender stores no configuration locally. Include parent association, image compatibility and host-interface validation in the acceptance checklist before releasing the purchase order.

Airflow Matched Spares

When replenishing rack spares, match the installed airflow direction rather than selecting components by wattage alone. Port-side-exhaust configurations use NXA-FAN-30CFM-F, while port-side-intake configurations use NXA-FAN-30CFM-B. All installed power and cooling components must share the airflow direction, so record the required component PIDs on the purchase order.

Not Suitable If

Standalone switching without a parent

Host traffic requires an upstream parent. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current standalone migration option, with 48 copper host ports instead of 32; it requires an architecture change.

SPAN destination ports for monitoring

Fabric-extender host interfaces can serve as SPAN sources, but not SPAN destinations. A monitoring design requiring a destination connection must place that connection outside these host interfaces.

Questions & Answers

What does the N2K-C2332TQ-10GT part number mean?

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT identifies a Nexus 2000-family fabric extender using the Nexus 2332TQ copper configuration and 10GBASE-T host connectivity. The complete configuration has 32 copper host interfaces and four 40G QSFP fabric interfaces. The part number does not designate a standalone switch or a separate software license tier.

How is N2K-C2332TQ-10GT managed?

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT is managed through its parent switch using CLI, Cisco Data Center Network Manager, CiscoWorks, SNMP and XML interfaces. SNMP versions 1, 2 and 3 and XML NETCONF are supported management paths. Configuration and operational visibility belong to the parent-managed system rather than an independent local management domain.

Does N2K-C2332TQ-10GT require a software license or subscription?

No, N2K-C2332TQ-10GT requires no fabric-extender license and has no minimum subscription term for extender operation. Its software image is bundled with the parent switch image and supplied during association. Any licensing needed for features on the parent remains separate from the fabric extender itself.

Is N2K-C2332TQ-10GT end of life?

Yes, N2K-C2332TQ-10GT reached end of sale on September 9, 2020, and its last date of Cisco support was September 30, 2025. Cisco service has ended. Vulnerability and security support ended earlier, on September 9, 2023, so a hardware purchase does not restore those services.

What condition and warranty does ORM Systems offer for N2K-C2332TQ-10GT?

ORM Systems offers N2K-C2332TQ-10GT new sealed with up to a 3-year extended warranty or certified refurbished with up to 1 year. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and Cisco service ended September 30, 2025.

Which fabric optics and cables can the Nexus 2332TQ use?

The Nexus 2332TQ supports fabric optics including QSFP-40G-SR-BD, QSFP-40G-SR4 and QSFP-40G-LR4, plus active copper connections such as QSFP-H40G-ACU7M and QSFP-H40G-ACU10M. Passive copper fabric cables are unsupported. Select the connection for the parent interface, fiber type and required reach rather than connector shape alone.

Can the Nexus 2332TQ use redundant power and matched airflow?

Yes, the Nexus 2332TQ supports two hot-swappable power modules with 1:1 redundancy and matched intake or exhaust airflow. N2200-PAC-400W pairs with NXA-FAN-30CFM-F for port-side exhaust; N2200-PAC-400W-B pairs with NXA-FAN-30CFM-B for port-side intake. Confirm the installed configuration rather than treating compatible components as guaranteed contents.

What is the difference between N2K-C2332TQ-10GT and N2K-C2332TQ-10GT=?

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT= excludes power supplies and fans, including components such as N2200-PAC-400W and NXA-FAN-30CFM-F, whereas N2K-C2332TQ-10GT is the configured fabric extender. Both forms are discontinued. The spare suits buyers reusing matched power and cooling components; the configured form suits orders requiring a complete assembly.

What is the difference between N2K-C2332TQ-10GT and N2K-C2348TQ?

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT provides 32 copper host ports, whereas N2K-C2348TQ provides 48 copper host ports. Both are discontinued fabric extenders that require a compatible parent switch. The 32-port model suits a smaller host count; the 48-port model addresses a denser existing rack requirement rather than a current-product migration.

What is the difference between N2K-C2332TQ-10GT and N9K-C93108TC-FX3P?

N2K-C2332TQ-10GT uses 40G fabric uplinks, whereas N9K-C93108TC-FX3P provides 100G uplinks as a standalone switch. The migration chain passes through discontinued N2K-C2348TQ-E. The fabric extender suits continuity within an existing parent-dependent installation; the current successor suits a redesigned standalone deployment and is not a drop-in extender replacement.
