The Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z is the 32-port 100-Gbps programmable architecture switch, enabled with major data center features designed for software-defined data centers. This 1-Rack-Unit (1RU) model offers wire-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching.

The Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z is a Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) switch with 32 QSFP28 ports. Each QSFP28 port can operate at 10, 25, 40, 50, and 100 Gbps, up to a maximum of 128 x 25-Gbps ports.

It is a member of the Cisco Nexus 3100 platform and runs the industry-leading Cisco^®NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers with comprehensive features and functions that are widely deployed. The Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z supports both forward and reverse (port-side exhaust and port-side intake) airflow schemes with AC and DC power inputs.

The Cisco Nexus 3132C-Z has the following hardware configuration:

• 32 fixed 100-Gigabit Ethernet QSFP28 ports
• Beacon LED
• Environment LED
• Status LED
• Four lane-selected LEDs
• Dual redundant power supplies
• Redundant (3+1) fans
• Two 10-Gbps SFP ports
• One RJ45 console port
• One RJ45 and SFP management port
• One USB port

The Cisco Nexus® 3132Q Switch is a dense, high-performance Layer 2 and 3, 40-Gbps switch that is a member of the Cisco Nexus 3100 switches. The Nexus 3100 switches are the second-generation Cisco Nexus 3000 series switches and offer improved port density, scalability, and features compared to the first-generation switches. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q comes in a compact one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor and runs the industry-leading Cisco® NX-OS Software operating system, providing customers comprehensive features and functions that are widely deployed. It supports both forward and reverse (port side exhaust and port side intake) airflow schemes with AC and DC power inputs. The Cisco Nexus 3132Q is well suited for data centers that require a cost-effective, power-efficient line-rate Layer 2 and 3 access or leaf switch.
