C1-N3K-C3232C is listed by Cisco as the Cisco ONE Nexus 3232C 32 x 100G PID. The C1 prefix identifies the commercial software ordering context; Cisco's hardware documentation identifies the underlying switch chassis as N3K-C3232C. Quotes should state both the physical chassis contents and the software entitlement.
The 1RU platform has 32 QSFP28 ports. Cisco documents 10, 25, 40, 50 and 100 Gbps operation, with up to 128 x 25 Gbps through breakout. Published platform figures are up to 6.4 Tbps switching capacity and 3.3 billion packets per second, with a four-core CPU, 8 GB DRAM and 16 MB dynamic buffer allocation.
The chassis supports two redundant power supplies and four redundant fans in a 3+1 arrangement. Cisco offers port-side intake and port-side exhaust components, which must be matched. The official model page lists August 31, 2027 as the end-of-support date, and Cisco identifies Nexus 9336C-FX2 as the lifecycle replacement for the base 3232C.
