C9300-NM-8X is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series uplink network module for adding high-density fiber connectivity to compatible Catalyst 9300 switches. It provides eight SFP+ module slots for 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and also supports 1 Gigabit SFP operation when the selected optics and switch software support that speed. The module installs in the switch network-module bay, so it is ordered as an expansion accessory rather than a standalone switching platform. Optics are not built into the card, and buyers should quote the required SFP or SFP+ transceivers, fiber cables, and chassis compatibility at the same time. Compared with C9300-NM-4G, this model increases the uplink design from four 1G SFP slots to eight 10G/1G SFP+ slots. That added density helps access stacks, collapsed cores, and distribution links scale without replacing the base switch for future bandwidth growth across enterprise campus refresh projects and spare stock.
All eight ports on C9300-NM-8X default to 10G operation and are configured in Cisco IOS XE as TenGigabitEthernet interfaces, typically TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/8 in a single switch. When 1G SFP optics are used, the interfaces remain named as TenGigabitEthernet ports even though the operational speed is lower. This naming point is important for staging, documentation, monitoring, and troubleshooting because teams should not expect separate GigabitEthernet interface labels for the module. The card is hot-swappable, but production networks should still follow maintenance procedures, verify software support, and replace a removed module with another supported network module or a blank insert. C9300-NM-8X is best used where the access switch needs multiple uplinks to distribution, redundant fiber paths, cross-stack EtherChannel connections, or direct 10G fiber handoffs to nearby aggregation equipment. It also supports staged upgrades from 1G uplinks to denser 10G uplink designs over time without recabling.
ORM Systems positions C9300-NM-8X for enterprise buyers expanding Cisco Catalyst 9300 access deployments, refreshing uplink modules, or stocking field spares for campus and branch networks. The module is a practical choice when existing 1G uplinks are becoming constrained and the switching team wants more 10G fiber ports without changing the entire access switch inventory. It can support resilient uplink designs with paired transceivers, diverse fiber routes, and switch-stack aggregation when the surrounding chassis, licenses, cables, and IOS XE release are planned correctly. Refurbished units should be validated for EEPROM recognition, physical slot fit, port link behavior, optic detection, and stable boot recognition before dispatch. Buyers should confirm the exact switch model, spare part requirement, optics type, fiber reach, connector format, and software compatibility before purchase. ORM Systems can quote single modules, matched spare quantities, or rollout batches for Catalyst 9300 standardization projects and refreshes.
C9300-NM-8X price is $995.00, a 66.9% saving from the Cisco list price of $3,009.00. C9300-NM-8X is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

C9300-NM-8X supports Cisco Catalyst 9300 access switches that need additional high-speed fiber uplinks without replacing the base switch chassis. The module adds eight 10G/1G SFP+ slots for connecting access closets to distribution, aggregation, or core switches. It is best quoted with compatible SFP or SFP+ optics, fiber patch cables, and the target Catalyst 9300 switch model to confirm support. This use case fits campus refresh projects, access-layer upgrades, and enterprise networks standardizing on Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink hardware.
C9300-NM-8X fits upgrade projects where existing Catalyst 9300 switches need to move from limited 1G uplinks to higher-density 10G fiber connectivity. The eight SFP+ ports help increase uplink bandwidth for user traffic, wireless access points, cameras, voice endpoints, and other access-layer services. Teams can use supported 1G SFP optics during transition phases and shift to 10G SFP+ optics as distribution capacity grows. Buyers should confirm IOS XE compatibility, optic type, fiber reach, and upstream switch port availability before ordering.
C9300-NM-8X is useful in Catalyst 9300 switch stack designs where multiple uplinks are required for redundancy, bandwidth aggregation, or diverse fiber paths. The module can support resilient uplink planning with EtherChannel, cross-stack uplinks, and separate connections toward distribution switches when the host stack and upstream network are configured correctly. It helps network teams keep access-layer management centralized while expanding fiber handoff options from the stack. This use case fits enterprise wiring closets, campus buildings, and branch sites with growing uplink demand.

C9300-NM-8X gave our Catalyst 9300 access stack the extra 10G SFP+ uplinks we needed for distribution connectivity.
The module was recognized by our Cisco Catalyst 9300 switch and all eight SFP+ ports tested correctly with our optics.
Good procurement experience. ORM Systems helped confirm that C9300-NM-8X was the right uplink module for our 9300 deployment.
This network module was exactly what we needed to upgrade our access closet uplinks from 1G to 10G fiber.
Refurbished C9300-NM-8X arrived clean, seated properly in the switch, and passed optic detection during staging.
