Parent-Managed Copper Server Access for Data Centers

N2K-C2332TQ is a Layer 2 Nexus 2300 fabric extender with 32 copper 100M/1/10GBASE-T host ports and four fixed 40G QSFP+ fabric ports. A compatible Nexus parent supplies management and network features; the chassis is not an independent access switch. The discontinued N2K-C2332TQ-10GT= spare excludes power supplies and fans.

N2K-C2332TQ price for new stock is $15,630.62, a 50% saving from the Cisco list price of $31,261.24. N2K-C2332TQ refurb price is $3,285.82. N2K-C2332TQ is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

960 Gbps switching capacity and 1440 Mpps forwarding support the host-and-fabric datapath. A 32 MB shared buffer accommodates traffic bursts, while fabric bandwidth reaches 320 Gbps full duplex. N2K-C2332TQ draws 250W maximum, so a compatible power supply's output rating must not be treated as chassis consumption.

Ordering

ORM Systems supplies N2K-C2332TQ in new sealed and certified refurbished condition; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, optics bay recognition, PSU status, and fan status. Specify condition and quantity on the purchase order. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition includes 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's original 1-year limited hardware warranty and Cisco service ended September 30, 2025. Enterprise and volume orders have PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Follow the replacement chain

N2K-C2332TQ migration planning must follow two replacements: N2K-C2348TQ-E is discontinued, and N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current endpoint. The intermediate fabric extender is not a current-generation purchase.

Specify fabric optics separately

N2K-C2332TQ fabric-link optics must be specified separately from the chassis. QSFP-40G-SR-BD and QSFP-40G-SR4 are supported choices; match the parent interface and fiber connection before adding transceivers to the purchase order.

Best For

Airflow Standardization

When replacement units must match rack airflow across sites, specify port-side exhaust with N2200-PAC-400W and NXA-FAN-30CFM-F, or port-side intake with N2200-PAC-400W-B and NXA-FAN-30CFM-B. Keep supply and fan directions aligned, and put the required component PIDs on each purchase order.

FCoE Staging

When a server-access installation carries FCoE, the copper host connection is limited to 30 m with Category 6a or Category 7 cabling. Treat cable selection and the parent's FCoE support as separate staging checks, and confirm both before specifying the installation bill of materials.

Not Suitable If

Independent switching without a parent

N2K-C2332TQ requires a compatible Nexus parent. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current switch successor, but changes the configuration to 48 copper host ports and six 100G ports.

Continued Cisco service and support

Cisco support ended September 30, 2025. N9K-C93108TC-FX3P is the current successor; N2K-C2348TQ-E is discontinued and remains an intermediate replacement in the lifecycle chain.
