Overview of the Cisco Nexus 3232C Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3232C (N3K-C3232C) is a 1 rack unit (RU) switch with 32 10- or 100-Gigabit QSFP28-100
and 2 10G SPF+ ports. This switch supports both port-side exhaust and port-side intake airflow schemes. The
switch requires one AC or DC power supply for operations, but it can have a second power supply for
redundancy.
Note Each vertical pair of QSFP28 ports supports a QSFP-to-SFP adapter (such as CVR-2QSFP28-8SFP) that
provides eight breakout SFP/SFP+/SFP28 ports. The top four ports connect to the upper QSFP28 port, and
the bottom four ports connect to the lower QSFP28 port.
The following figure shows the fan-side chassis features that you use when installing the chassis or replacing
