N9K-C9332C is a managed, fixed-port data center spine switch with 32 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces and two 1/10G SFP+ interfaces. The base NX-OS entitlement provides Layer 2+ operation with static routing; advanced routing requires additional licensing. Its optical connections serve fabric links rather than powered copper endpoints, and the fixed interface layout does not require an uplink expansion card. The Cisco Nexus 9332C supports conventional NX-OS operation or Cisco ACI spine operation, making the intended software mode an essential configuration choice. The discontinued N9K-C9332C= spare excludes power supplies, fans and the accessory kit rather than providing the complete hardware configuration. This compact member of the Nexus 9000 family separates fabric traffic from dedicated management connectivity.
N9K-C9332C price for new stock is $10,006.50, a 80.5% saving from the Cisco list price of $51,394.00. N9K-C9332C refurb price is $2,619.75. N9K-C9332C is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

6400 Gbps switching capacity establishes the fabric bandwidth ceiling, while 4400 Mpps forwarding capacity supplies a separate packet-processing limit. Cisco Cloud Scale silicon handles forwarding. N9K-C9332C carries 16 GB of DRAM, a 128 GB SSD and a 40 MB packet buffer, separating system memory, persistent storage and traffic buffering. MAC address capacity reaches 92000 entries; IPv4 longest-prefix-match capacity reaches 262000 routes with the LPM-heavy profile rather than the default profile. Static routing, SVIs and HSRP are available without an additional feature license. Wire-rate MACsec is restricted to the last eight high-speed interfaces and requires a security entitlement. Breakout cables are unsupported, so the chassis cannot divide its high-speed interfaces into multiple lower-speed links. Local console access and separate copper and fiber management connections provide administrative access independently of the fabric interfaces.
ORM Systems supplies N9K-C9332C new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, optics bay recognition, PSU status and fan status, with firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. Specify condition, airflow, power-supply configuration, optics and software entitlement before submitting the PO. New units carry up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty, certified refurbished units carry up to 1 year, and every condition has 30-day returns with terms applying; Cisco's separate 1-year limited hardware warranty cannot extend beyond January 31, 2029. POs are accepted, government buyers receive Net-30, and enterprise or volume orders can use RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA coverage in the UK, EU, US and MEA.

In a hyperscale cloud provider environment, the N9K-C9332C-Nexus 9332C ACI Spine switch with 32p 40/100G QSFP28 and 2p 1/10G SFP sits at the core of a leaf-and-spine fabric, aggregating 200+ 100G leaf uplinks and legacy 10G server links. Enterprises achieve non-blocking, sub-400 ns latency for containerized microservices, seamless policy enforcement via Cisco ACI, and on-demand scale-out capacity. Outcome: predictable performance SLAs, 4:1 oversubscription reduction, and up to 50% faster application deployment.
In a high-performance computing cluster, the N9K-C9332C-Nexus 9332C ACI Spine switch delivers wire-speed 100 Gbps connectivity across compute nodes and storage arrays, with native RDMA-over-Converged-Ethernet (RoCE) support and 2p 1/10G SFP ports for management and legacy nodes. Research teams reduce machine-learning training times by 30% and accelerate genomics pipelines with guaranteed low jitter and zero oversubscription. Benefit: maximized resource utilization, predictable job completion, and 60% cost savings on network infrastructure.
For geographically dispersed enterprise campuses, the N9K-C9332C-Nexus 9332C ACI Spine switch extends a unified ACI fabric over 100 Gbps metro links, leveraging 32 QSFP28 ports for high-capacity inter-DC connectivity and 2 SFP ports for dedicated out-of-band management. IT teams enforce consistent policies, micro-segmentation, and automated failover across sites, while reducing configuration drift and manual errors. Outcome: seamless workload mobility, 99.999% uptime, and 40% reduction in cross-site network management overhead.
When replacing an installed N9K-C9336PQ spine, treat the hardware change as a port-plan review rather than a part-number substitution. N9K-C9332C is a migration option for that discontinued model. Check link allocation, optics compatibility and the intended software mode, then specify the complete replacement configuration before issuing the purchase order.
When standardizing fabric racks across multiple sites, specify the same airflow direction for all fan modules and power supplies. NXA-FAN-35CFM-PI provides port-side intake; NXA-FAN-35CFM-PE provides port-side exhaust. Match the selected direction to each cabinet's cooling plan and list the fan configuration explicitly on the purchase order.
When staging a switch for a later production handoff, separate temporary software evaluation from the final entitlement plan. Evaluation licenses are time-bound and cannot be used in production. Confirm the permanent or subscription entitlement assigned to the production device and include the licensing handoff in the purchase-order requirements.
Breakout fan-out from fabric interfaces
N9K-C9332C does not support breakout cables. A design requiring several lower-speed links from each high-speed cage cannot use that fan-out arrangement on this chassis.
Native 400G fabric connections
Native interfaces stop at 100G. Current replacement N9K-C93600CD-GX provides eight 400G interfaces alongside 28 100G interfaces, so migration also changes the physical connection layout.
Wire-rate encryption on every fabric interface
Only the last eight high-speed interfaces support wire-rate MACsec. A requirement to encrypt every fabric link at wire rate exceeds this switch's encryption coverage.
Mixed AC and DC supplies
Both installed power supplies must use the same source type; AC and DC cannot be mixed. Specify a consistent input-source configuration for the chassis.

N9K-C9332C identifies the Nexus 9000 family's 9332C fixed spine configuration with 32 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces and two 1/10G SFP+ interfaces. N9K identifies the Nexus 9000 family, while C9332C identifies this hardware model. The part number does not specify an installed advanced software license or a selected airflow configuration.
N9K-C9332C supports NX-OS administration or controller-based Cisco ACI management. Administrative access includes the RS-232 serial console, with dedicated copper and fiber management interfaces providing separate management connectivity; SSH also supports command-line access. Specify the intended operating mode and administrative access plan independently of the fabric cabling and software entitlement.
N9K-C9332C is discontinued, with end of sale on January 30, 2024 and last support on January 31, 2029. New service attachment ended January 29, 2025, and contract renewal ends April 26, 2028. Existing eligible service contracts remain subject to their terms; resale availability does not reopen Cisco ordering or service-attachment milestones.
ORM Systems offers N9K-C9332C new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on refurbished units. Every condition has 30-day returns; terms apply. Cisco's separate 1-year limited hardware warranty is bounded by support ending January 31, 2029.
N9K-C9332C accepts DCN Essentials, Advantage or Premier subscriptions with a 3-year minimum, plus perpetual DCN Advantage and NX-OS Advantage paths. Subscription terms also include 5 or 7 years; Essentials perpetual licenses are no longer sold. Advanced feature entitlement remains separate from hardware condition, and Smart Licensing registration requires an active Smart Account.
N9K-C9332C is a migration option for discontinued N9K-C9336PQ and N9K-C92304QC, whose sales ended March 5, 2019 and August 29, 2019, respectively. Migration does not mean identical connection layouts or capabilities. Existing cable plans, management mode and software licensing should be specified against the replacement configuration rather than copied unchanged.
No, N9K-C9332C does not support breakout cables. Interface fan-out is unavailable, so a cabling plan that depends on dividing a high-speed cage into several lower-speed connections requires different hardware. Confirm the optic form factor, supported link speed and point-to-point cable plan before finalizing each connection on the purchase order.
N9K-C9332C uses two power-supply modules for 1+1 redundancy, with matching source type and airflow direction. Supported AC choices include NXA-PAC-750W-PI, NXA-PAC-750W-PE, NXA-PAC-1100W-PI2 and NXA-PAC-1100W-PE2. NXA-PAC-750W-PI and NXA-PAC-750W-PE require NX-OS 9.3(3) or later, or ACI 14.2 or later; specify the actual supply configuration rather than only a wattage.
No, the Cisco Nexus 9332C supports wire-rate MACsec only on its last eight high-speed interfaces. Encryption coverage therefore cannot be assumed across the entire fabric-facing interface set. Security licensing is separate from the base hardware, so confirm both the required entitlement and the intended software release before specifying encrypted connections.
Static routing, SVIs and HSRP are available on N9K-C9332C without an additional license. Dynamic routing is not part of the base entitlement. A licensed configuration must be ordered for advanced routing; match the required feature set to Essentials or Advantage rather than treating NX-OS installation as proof of authorization.
N9K-C9332C= is the discontinued spare chassis configuration without power supplies, fans or the accessory kit, whereas N9K-C9332C is the complete hardware configuration. Both reached end of sale on January 30, 2024. The complete configuration suits whole-switch replacement; the spare configuration suits maintenance orders that explicitly provide the omitted components.
N9K-C9364C provides 64 40/100G QSFP28 interfaces where N9K-C9332C provides 32. Both models are discontinued. The smaller configuration suits an existing 32-link spine replacement requirement, while the 64-interface configuration suits maintenance of an installed higher-density deployment. Match the required physical connection count before selecting inventory for either legacy configuration.
N9K-C93600CD-GX adds eight native 400G interfaces, while N9K-C9332C stops at 100G on its fabric interfaces. N9K-C93600CD-GX is the current replacement for the discontinued model. Existing 100G installations may require a matching legacy spare; buyers specifying native 400G fabric connections should select the successor and review its changed connection layout.
N9K-C9332C-RF identifies Cisco-remanufactured hardware, not ORM's certified-refurbished condition for N9K-C9332C. The two refurbishment programs must remain separate on the purchase order. Hardware condition does not establish ownership of advanced software entitlements, so confirm any required licensing separately from the condition designation and the hardware configuration.
