[mitra dray]

Hi !

need your help

i cant find the technical differences between  2232TM and 2232TM-E

only this :

N2K-C2232TM	Cisco Nexus 2232TM Series 10GBASE-T Fabric Extender, 2PS, 1 Fan Module, 32x1/10GBase-T + 8x10GE Module (req SFP+), choice of airflow and power supply
N2K-C2232TM-E	Cisco Nexus 2232TM-E Series 10GBASE-T Fabric Extender, 2PS, 1 Fan Module, 32x1/10GBase-T + 8x10GE Module (req SFP+), choice of airflow and power supply

why should i pick either ?

Thanks for the help which would be much appriciated

Hi Mitra,

The main differences is the Ethernet PHY used in the 2232TM-E. As per the Product Bulletin:

with the same underlying architecture and the latest generation of the 10GBASE-T physical layer device (PHY), enabling lower power consumption and an improved bit-error rate (BER)

So basically you have lower power consumption and the option to run FCoE.

Thanks !

i think we have a winner so the 2232TM-E is FCOE supporting plus a low PW conmsumption and BER !

Thanks !!
