Chapter 1 Overview of the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series Switches
Cisco Nexus 3132Q Switch
Cisco Nexus 3132Q Switch
The Cisco Nexus 3132Q Switch is a high-performance switch that is a member of the Cisco Nexus 3100
switches. The Nexus 3100 switches are 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 is a 1 rack unit (RU), 40-Gbps Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable
(QSFP)-based switch with 32 Enhanced QSFP (QSFP+) ports. It also has 4 SFP+ ports that are internally
multiplexed with the first QSFP port. Each QSFP+ port can operate in native 40-Gbps or 4 x 10-Gbps
modes. This switch is a true phy-less switch that is optimized for low latency and low power
consumption. It supports both forward and reverse (port side exhaust and port side intake) airflow
schemes. 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.
