Cisco Nexus 2224TP FEX
The Cisco Nexus 2224TP FEX is a stackable Gigabit Ethernet FEX that has 24 100/1000BASE-T
Ethernet host-facing (downlink) RJ-45 ports and two 10-Gigabit Ethernet network-facing (uplink) SFP+
ports. It requires a 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack for its installation. Table 2-9 lists its physical characteristics.
You can order the Cisco Nexus 2224TP FEX with port-side exhaust or port-side intake airflow and with
AC or DC power supplies. If you are going to install the port side in a hot aisle, then order port-side
exhaust airflow for all of the fan trays and power supplies. If you are going to install the port side in the
cold aisle, order port-side intake airflow for all of the fan trays and power supplies.
