About this data
Where the specifications on this page come from
Where does the N9K-C9332D-H2R data come from?
The N9K-C9332D-H2R specifications on this page are sourced from Cisco's published datasheets and product documentation. SKUit extracts and normalises those values into its product catalog, the same data its BOM builder uses. This page summarises them; it is not Cisco's datasheet, and the original documents are published by Cisco.
