NEW Cisco N3K-C3132Q-V 32x 40GB QSFP+ Front-to-Back Airflow Switch

The Cisco N3K-C3132Q-V is the Nexus 3132Q-V, the VXLAN-capable 3100-V version of the 32-port 40 Gigabit QSFP+ switch; each port also runs as 4x 10GB with breakout. It suits top-of-rack and aggregation roles in data center and campus networks. This unit is the front-to-back (port-side intake) airflow version: cooling air enters at the port side and leaves through the fans and power supplies.

Capacity is 2.5 Tbps with a 1.4 Bpps forwarding rate, a 16 MB shared packet buffer, and a 288,000-entry MAC address table. Latency runs approximately 650 ns nominal. The switch carries 16 GB DRAM and 64 GB SSD.

Fans and power supplies are hot-swappable and redundant, and every module in one chassis must share the same airflow direction. Fan choices are the NXA-FAN-30CFM-F (port-side exhaust) or NXA-FAN-30CFM-B (port-side intake). Power supply choices are the NXA-PAC-650W-PE AC (port-side exhaust) or NXA-PAC-650W-PI AC (port-side intake). The N3K-C3064-ACC-KIT rack kit fits this chassis.

A tested seller refurbished N3K-C3132Q-V is also available at a lower price. If VXLAN is not needed, the Nexus 3132Q-40GX covers the same ports for less.

This switch is new and covered by the NetworkTigers one-year warranty. The original packaging may have been opened to inspect the contents.
