C9300X-NM-8M is a Catalyst 9300X 8 x 10G/1G Multigigabit Network Module with copper uplink ports for Catalyst 9300X switches. 8 x 10G/mGig copper ports give a Catalyst 9300X network module copper handoffs where the SFP28 C9300X-NM-8Y uses pluggable optics. The module fits the front uplink network module slot, and the host runs with a network module or C9300X-NM-BLANK installed. Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 3850 SKUs do not take C9300X-NM modules. The default switch configuration does not include the network module, so each uplinking switch member needs its own module.
C9300X-NM-8M price is $1,336.65. C9300X-NM-8M is in stock and available for free next-day delivery. (terms applied)

10 Gbps per port is the top rated speed, and 1 Gbps operation is also rated for the eight Multigigabit Ethernet slots. TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/8 are the configured interfaces on C9300X-NM-8M. The network module is hot-swappable, and a 6-8 second wait between online insertion and removal prevents authentication failure and non-detection. Cables come out before module removal. Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.5.1 is the first supported release for the module. Catalyst 9300X-48HXN uses ports 1 to 6 from Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.8.1 and later, with ports 7 and 8 permanently disabled.
Order C9300X-NM-8M new sealed or certified refurbished. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested in a compatible host, recognized by the host and link at every rated speed. Before the PO, confirm Catalyst 9300X, the free uplink network module slot, Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.5.1 and copper cabling. Regional stock/RMA covers UK, EU, US and MEA, with RMA with advance replacement. PO accepted and Net-30 for government. New carries up to 3-year extended warranty, certified refurbished carries up to 1 year, and returns are 30 days on every condition · terms apply.

A Catalyst 9300X switch needs copper uplinks above 1G without SFP optics. C9300X-NM-8M adds eight 10G/1G Multigigabit Ethernet ports in that member's uplink slot. Count one module for each switch that needs modular copper uplinks, and match the far-end copper speed before the PO.
A Catalyst 9300X stack has several members that need the same modular uplink type. Each member that needs uplinks takes one network module in its own uplink slot. Count the uplinking members, then keep C9300X-48HXN members to ports 1 to 6 on later releases.
A Catalyst 9300X switch has a failed copper network module and the host slot stays in service. C9300X-NM-8M is hot-swappable, and the switch needs a network module or C9300X-NM-BLANK installed. Remove cables first, then wait 6-8 seconds between removal and insertion.
Catalyst 9300 modular uplinks
C9300X-NM-8M fits Catalyst 9300X only. Catalyst 9300 SKUs take C9300 network modules; use C9300-NM-4M for a Catalyst 9300 Multigigabit Ethernet module.
25G SFP uplinks
C9300X-NM-8M tops out at 10G/1G copper ports. Use C9300X-NM-8Y for eight 25G/10G/1G SFP28 uplink slots on Catalyst 9300X.
100G QSFP uplinks
C9300X-NM-8M is an eight-port copper mGig module. Use C9300X-NM-2C for two 100G/40G QSFP uplink slots on Catalyst 9300X.

C9300X-NM-8M is the Cisco Catalyst 9300X 8 x 10G/mGig copper Network Module. It adds eight 10G/1G Multigigabit Ethernet copper uplink ports for Catalyst 9300X switches. NM means network module, and 8M marks eight Multigigabit ports in the C9300X network module family.
C9300X-NM-8M fits Catalyst 9300X switches in the front uplink network module slot. Catalyst 9300, Catalyst 9300L, Catalyst 9300LM and Catalyst 3850 do not take C9300X-NM-8M. Catalyst 9300 takes C9300 network modules, and Catalyst 3850 takes C3850 network modules.
A Catalyst 9300X uses C9300X-NM-8M, C9300X-NM-8Y, C9300X-NM-2C and C9300X-NM-4C in the C9300X network-module group. C9300X-NM-8M gives 8 x 10G/1G mGig copper ports. C9300X-NM-4C fits only C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX and C9300X-48TX.
C9300X-NM-8M has eight Multigigabit Ethernet copper ports rated at 10G/1G. The configured interfaces are TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through TenGigabitEthernet1/1/8. On Catalyst 9300X-48HXN, ports 1 to 6 are usable from Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.8.1 and later, and ports 7 and 8 stay disabled.
A Catalyst 9300X switch takes one C9300X-NM-8M in the front uplink network module slot. A stack member that needs modular uplinks needs its own network module. If no uplink ports are required, the same slot takes C9300X-NM-BLANK for airflow, EMC and thermal compliance.
C9300X-NM-8M adds 10G/mGig copper uplinks to a Catalyst 9300X switch. The module is field-replaceable, hot-swappable, and carries an internal serial EEPROM with security information. The host must keep a network module or blank installed for EMC, safety and thermal compliance.
C9300X-NM-8M starts with Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.5.1 as its introductory release on Catalyst 9300X. C9300X-48HXN has Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.9.3 as its introductory release. On C9300X-48HXN, Cisco IOS XE Cupertino 17.8.1 and later use ports 1 to 6.
C9300X-NM-8M= is the spare ordering form for C9300X-NM-8M. The spare form has the same Catalyst 9300X 8 x 10G/mGig copper Network Module description. Order the base PID for configured builds and the equals form when the purchase line needs the spare PID.
C9300X-NM-8M gives eight 10G/1G Multigigabit copper ports, while C9300X-NM-8Y gives eight 25G/10G/1G SFP28 slots. Use C9300X-NM-8M for copper mGig handoffs. Use C9300X-NM-8Y when the Catalyst 9300X uplink needs SFP, SFP+ or SFP28 optics.
C9300X-NM-8M gives eight 10G/1G copper Multigigabit ports, while C9300X-NM-2C gives two 100G/40G QSFP slots. C9300X-NM-8M fits buyers counting copper uplink ports. C9300X-NM-2C fits buyers counting higher-speed QSFP uplinks on Catalyst 9300X.
C9300X-NM-8M gives eight copper mGig ports for Catalyst 9300X. C9300X-NM-4C gives four 100G/40G QSFP ports and fits only C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX and C9300X-48TX. Use C9300X-NM-8M for eight copper ports, and use C9300X-NM-4C for four QSFP ports.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for C9300X-NM-8M. The module serves Catalyst 9300X switches and has C9300X-NM-8M= as the spare form. Catalyst 9300X-48HXN has a port-use rule that keeps ports 7 and 8 disabled on later releases.
ORM offers C9300X-NM-8M new sealed and certified refurbished. New carries up to 3-year extended warranty, and certified refurbished carries up to 1 year.
