N2K-C2232TF-E Overview
N2K-C2232TF-E is a Cisco Nexus 2232TM-E Series 10GBASE-T Fabric Extender, offering 2 power supply, 1 Fan Modules, 32×1/10GBase-T + 8x10GE Module (includes 16 Fabric Extender Transceivers), and choice of airflow. Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders comprise a category of data center products designed to simplify data center access architecture and operations. Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders behave like remote line cards for a parent Cisco Nexus switch. The fabric extenders are essentially extensions of the parent Cisco Nexus switch fabric, with the fabric extenders and the parent switch together forming a distributed modular system. This architecture enables physical topologies with the flexibility and benefits of both top-of-rack (ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) deployments
