Nexus 3000 C3132Q-40GE Switch Overview
The N3K-C3132Q-40GE is part of the Cisco Nexus 3132Q series, featuring 32 QSFP+ Ports in a compact 1RU form factor. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q, 3132Q-X, and 3132Q-XL switches are high-performance 40-Gbps Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches, designed as part of the Cisco Nexus 3100 platform. These second-generation Nexus 3000 series switches deliver improved port density, scalability, and enhanced features compared to their first-generation counterparts. The Nexus 3132Q Series runs on the industry-leading Cisco NX‑OS Software, providing comprehensive functions and features that are widely deployed in the industry. With support for both forward and reverse airflow schemes (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) and AC/DC power inputs, these switches are highly flexible for various data center environments. The Cisco Nexus 3132 switches are perfect for data centers requiring a cost-effective, power-efficient Layer 2 and Layer 3 access or leaf switch, offering impressive performance with 2.5 Tbps switching capacity and 1.4 bpps forwarding. With 4 SFP+ ports and 32 QSFP+ Ports, these switches also support up to 40G Uplinks, making them ideal for high-bandwidth applications. Shop Cisco Switch models like the N3K-3132Q-40GE to benefit from advanced features such as up to 40G Uplinks, flexible 32 QSFP+ Ports, and Layer2/ Layer3 capabilities, making it an excellent choice for Cisco Data Center Switch needs.
