The Cisco Nexus 2232TF 10GBASE-T Fabric Extender, with the part number N2K-C2232TF-10GE, is a high-performance expansion module designed for use in data centres and enterprise networks. This fabric extender provides efficient, scalable solutions for creating unified, flexible network environments. The model offers 32 10GBASE-T ports that allow connectivity to 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over standard copper wiring, which significantly reduces cabling complexity and cost, particularly in short-distance deployments.
The Cisco Nexus 2232TF Fabric Extender is commonly used in conjunction with Cisco Nexus switches to provide an efficient top-of-rack (ToR) architecture. Acting essentially as a remote line card for its parent Cisco Nexus switch, the extender simplifies network management by centralising configurations, reducing network latency, and enhancing overall network traffic flow. The unit’s ports support transmission up to 100 metres using Category 6a cables, ensuring flexibility in your rack and server connectivity within a data centre.
This 1U form factor fabric extender also features hot-swappable, redundant power supply and fans, which enhance hardware reliability and ensure uninterrupted network service in case of a failure. Moreover, this model includes advanced packet-handling capabilities and works seamlessly with technologies like Virtual PortChannel (vPC) that bolster network resiliency. Designed for high availability, the Cisco Nexus 2232TF supports Layer 2 switching and has options for Data Centre Bridging, assuring performance suitable for modern-day applications such as virtualisation and multicast traffic.
