C9300X-NM-8Y is the eight-port 25G uplink tier in the Cisco Catalyst 9300X network-module family. It installs only in Cisco Catalyst 9300X Series switches, using the dedicated front-panel uplink network module slot rather than a standards-based PCIe, OCP, or transceiver-only cage. This uplink module provides eight SFP28 positions for 25 GE, 10 GE, or 1 GE connections, so buyers can match existing 1G/10G optics while reserving the same bay for 25G uplink capacity. Its proprietary C9300X module interface keeps compatibility inside the Catalyst 9300X platform family. C9300X-NM-2C is the closest higher-speed sibling, changing the uplink design to two 40 GE/100 GE QSFP slots instead of eight 25 GE/10 GE/1 GE SFP28 slots. C9300X-48HXN deployments require port-count review because usable ports vary by Cisco IOS XE release.
25GbE is the top link-speed tier per uplink port, with 10GbE and 1GbE operation available for mixed optics and staged migration. Eight front-panel uplink interfaces map to TwentyFiveGigE1/1/1 through TwentyFiveGigE1/1/8 in Cisco IOS XE, giving the module a predictable interface layout for templates and change plans. C9300X-NM-8Y uses SFP28 port hardware for the network-module bay and relies on the host switch software release for detection, interface enablement, and transceiver behavior. Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.5.1 is the introductory release for this module, while Catalyst 9300X-48HXN hosts expose four usable ports on 17.7.1 and earlier, then six usable ports on 17.8.1 and later with ports 7 and 8 permanently disabled. Transceiver selection controls media and reach, so the chosen Cisco-supported optic or cable should align with the port speed configured on the host switch.
C9300X-NM-8Y installs face up into the C9300X module slot, slides flush with the switch faceplate, and is secured by the ejector and latch. All C9300X network modules are hot-swappable, but cables and pluggable transceivers should be removed before insertion or removal, and operations should wait through the required online insertion and removal interval before another module change. Configuration proceeds through the switch uplink interfaces after detection. ORM Systems supplies this module in new and certified refurbished condition; refurbished units receive connector, latch, faceplate, and SFP cage inspection plus functional testing in a compatible Catalyst 9300X chassis. Request a quote with target host model, Cisco IOS XE release, transceiver plan, quantity, condition, and warranty expectations so enterprise and volume buyers can standardize the uplink bay across refresh, spare, and mixed-density deployments.

C9300X-NM-8Y operates in the Catalyst 9300X uplink bay when access switches hand traffic toward distribution or aggregation switches over fiber. The eight SFP28 ports let engineers assign separate 25G, 10G, or 1G uplinks for stack members, redundant paths, or phased optic replacement. Link design stays tied to the C9300X host model and Cisco IOS XE release, especially on C9300X-48HXN switches with port-usage limits. The result is a cleaner access-to-distribution handoff with documented uplink density and fewer module mismatches during refreshes.
C9300X-NM-8Y supports a repeatable uplink standard across Catalyst 9300X switch stacks where each stack uses the same front-bay module, interface naming pattern, and transceiver plan. Network teams map TwentyFiveGigE1/1/1 through TwentyFiveGigE1/1/8 into templates, then reserve specific ports for redundant upstream links or migration links. The proprietary C9300X module slot keeps procurement tied to the approved host family instead of a generic adapter. Compatible chassis testing confirms the bay, latch, and SFP cages before deployment, reducing staging errors across the switch estate.
Mixed-speed migration planning uses C9300X-NM-8Y when a Catalyst 9300X access layer still carries 1G or 10G optics while new uplink designs move selected paths to 25G. Engineers keep the same eight-position module and change the supported Cisco transceiver or cable as the upstream port speed changes. The module suits staged refreshes because the physical slot remains constant while link speeds move by port. This approach limits hardware churn, preserves operational naming, and gives the network a controlled path from legacy uplinks to higher bandwidth.
C9300X-NM-8Y matched our Catalyst 9300X refresh plan and gave the uplink density our network team needed without changing chassis standards.

C9300X-NM-8Y is a Cisco Catalyst 9300X uplink network module with eight SFP28 slots for 25 GE, 10 GE, or 1 GE connections. It fits the dedicated network module bay on Catalyst 9300X switches. Buyers use this SKU when a C9300X access platform needs higher-density fiber uplinks without changing the switch chassis.
C9300X-NM-8Y identifies a Cisco Catalyst 9300X network module rather than a standalone switch, optical transceiver, or cable. The NM portion marks it as a network module, while 8Y identifies the eight-port 25G class uplink variant in the C9300X module family. The exact SKU matters because C9300X modules use a proprietary Catalyst 9300X slot.
C9300X-NM-8Y is an uplink network module for Cisco switching hardware. It is a plug-in module with eight SFP28 cages, not a PCIe adapter or generic server NIC. The module adds front-panel uplink interfaces to a compatible Catalyst 9300X switch, and the selected SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 optic determines media type and reach.
C9300X-NM-8Y sits in the Catalyst 9300X network-module lineup as the eight-port multi-rate SFP uplink option. It belongs with C9300X modules such as C9300X-NM-2C, C9300X-NM-4C, and C9300X-NM-8M. It is not part of the older C9300-only module group, so compatibility checks should focus on Catalyst 9300X host switches.
C9300X-NM-8Y provides eight front-panel SFP28 module slots for uplink connectivity on compatible Catalyst 9300X switches. Cisco also notes a C9300X-48HXN limitation: earlier Cisco IOS XE releases expose ports 1 through 4, while 17.8.1 and later expose ports 1 through 6, with ports 7 and 8 permanently disabled on that host model.
C9300X-NM-8Y supports 25 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet operation through its SFP28 uplink slots. The module is useful where a Catalyst 9300X access layer must support existing 1G or 10G fiber links while adding 25G uplink capacity. Final link operation depends on the supported Cisco transceiver or cable installed.
C9300X-NM-8Y uses eight SFP28 cages for pluggable uplink optics or cables. The SFP28 hardware supports 25G links and also works with supported lower-speed SFP+ or SFP modules for 10G or 1G operation. Buyers should match optic form factor, Cisco compatibility, link speed, and media reach before assigning the module to a deployment.
C9300X-NM-8Y does not provide PoE power because it is an uplink network module, not an access-port switch or power injector. PoE budgets belong to the host Catalyst 9300X switch model and its installed power supplies. This module contributes fiber uplink interfaces, while endpoint power remains controlled by the switch base ports and power configuration.
C9300X-NM-8Y belongs to the Cisco C9300X network-module group, and Cisco identifies those network modules as hot-swappable. Installation planning should still remove cables and pluggable transceivers before insertion or removal, follow the ejector and latch process, and allow the required online insertion and removal interval before another module change.
C9300X-NM-8Y support is tied to Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.5.1 in Cisco Catalyst 9300 release documentation. That release association matters during staging because the host switch must recognize the module before uplink interfaces become available. Later release behavior should also be reviewed for the specific C9300X host model, especially C9300X-48HXN port limits.
C9300X-NM-8Y is used to add multi-rate fiber uplink capacity to Cisco Catalyst 9300X switches. It commonly supports access-to-distribution handoffs, aggregation links, stack uplinks, and staged migration from 1G or 10G optics toward 25G links. The module keeps uplink expansion inside the Catalyst 9300X platform instead of adding a separate external device.
C9300X-NM-8Y fits campus access deployments built around Catalyst 9300X switches that need fiber uplinks toward distribution or aggregation layers. The eight SFP28 positions support multiple upstream paths, migration links, or stack-member uplinks depending on the switch design. The module is most useful when the access layer requires higher uplink density within the existing chassis bay.
C9300X-NM-8Y supports mixed-speed migration by placing 25G, 10G, and 1G capable uplink slots in the same Catalyst 9300X module bay. Network teams keep approved 1G or 10G optics in service while assigning selected links to 25G as upstream switches are refreshed. That approach reduces chassis changes during phased uplink modernization.
C9300X-NM-8Y is useful as a spare when a site standardizes on Catalyst 9300X switches with SFP28 uplink modules. A matching spare protects the front-bay uplink design, interface layout, and transceiver plan. Buyers should keep host model, Cisco IOS XE release, and C9300X-48HXN port restrictions documented with spare inventory to avoid field replacement mismatches.
C9300X-NM-8Y is compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9300X Series switches. Cisco states that C9300X network modules are supported only on C9300X switches, so this module should not be treated as a cross-vendor or generic expansion card. Host model review remains important because C9300X-48HXN uses fewer ports than the full eight-position module layout.
C9300X-NM-8Y works with C9300X-48HXN switches with documented port limitations. Cisco IOS XE 17.7.1 and earlier expose ports 1 through 4 on that host. Cisco IOS XE 17.8.1 and later expose ports 1 through 6, while ports 7 and 8 remain permanently disabled. That limitation should be reflected in bill-of-materials and cabling plans.
C9300X-NM-8Y uses SFP28 cages and should be matched with Cisco-supported SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 optics or cables for the intended 1G, 10G, or 25G link. The module provides the slot hardware, while the pluggable transceiver controls reach, media, and connector handoff. Compatibility should be checked against the target switch software and Cisco optic guidance.
C9300X-NM-8Y is not the right module for non-X Catalyst 9300 switches. Cisco separates Catalyst 9300 and Catalyst 9300X network modules, and C9300X modules are supported only on C9300X switches. For a standard C9300 host, buyers should review C9300-NM family modules such as C9300-NM-8X or C9300-NM-2Y instead.
C9300X-NM-8Y provides eight 25G/10G/1G SFP28 uplink slots, while C9300X-NM-2C provides two 40G/100G QSFP uplink slots. C9300X-NM-8Y fits designs that need more individual fiber uplinks at lower per-port speed. C9300X-NM-2C fits designs that consolidate uplinks into fewer higher-speed QSFP connections. That difference drives density-versus-speed selection clearly.
C9300X-NM-8Y differs from C9300X-NM-4C by port speed and port count. C9300X-NM-8Y offers eight 25G/10G/1G SFP28 slots, while C9300X-NM-4C offers four 40G/100G QSFP slots and has more restrictive host compatibility. The 8Y module suits multi-link SFP28 designs, while 4C targets higher-speed QSFP uplink aggregation. Host compatibility should be reviewed before choosing 4C.
C9300X-NM-8Y uses eight SFP28 slots for 25G, 10G, or 1G uplinks, while C9300X-NM-8M provides eight multigigabit copper module slots. The 8Y version fits fiber uplink designs and optical handoffs. The 8M version fits copper mGig uplink or handoff requirements where the approved Catalyst 9300X host supports that module. The media type is the key selection point.
C9300X-NM-8Y and C9300X-NM-8Y= identify the same eight-port 25G/10G/1G Catalyst 9300X uplink module hardware, with the equals suffix commonly used for spare ordering. The base SKU is suitable for product-page matching, while the spare PID helps procurement match Cisco ordering language for replacement or inventory purchases. Buyers should quote the PID shown on the bill of materials.
C9300X-NM-8Y is supplied by ORM Systems in new and certified refurbished condition when available through approved inventory channels. Refurbished sourcing helps buyers maintain Catalyst 9300X uplink standards when new units are constrained or budget targets matter. The quote process should specify preferred condition, quantity, host switch model, transceiver needs, and warranty expectations.
C9300X-NM-8Y price should be requested with quantity, condition preference, destination, and any required accessories or optics. The module is often purchased as part of a switch refresh, spare pool, or uplink migration, so pricing depends on availability and order size. ORM Systems can prepare a quote for single-unit needs or volume procurement.
C9300X-NM-8Y lifecycle status should be verified during quoting because Cisco lifecycle and channel availability change over time. The SKU appears in Cisco Catalyst 9300X network-module ordering data, but that listing does not replace a current end-of-sale check for the requested condition. Buyers should align lifecycle status with support-contract and spare strategy.
C9300X-NM-8Y lead time is quote-specific because availability depends on quantity, condition, supplier channel, and destination. A buyer should provide the target delivery location, required condition, and whether the module must ship with optics or only as bare hardware. ORM Systems can then confirm realistic dispatch timing for the requested order profile.
Bulk discounts are available for C9300X-NM-8Y when quantity, condition mix, and sourcing options support volume pricing. The module is a common standardization item for Catalyst 9300X refreshes and spare pools, so multi-unit requests should include deployment count and desired delivery schedule. ORM Systems can quote new, refurbished, or mixed-condition options where available.
ORM Systems offers up to a 3-year warranty option for C9300X-NM-8Y depending on condition, supply route, and order terms. Manufacturer warranty eligibility should be checked separately for Cisco-covered units. Buyers should state whether the requirement is new, certified refurbished, or mixed-condition so the warranty offer matches the intended procurement route.
Refurbished C9300X-NM-8Y modules receive module-specific checks before dispatch, including SFP cage inspection, connector and latch review, faceplate inspection, and functional testing in a compatible Catalyst 9300X chassis. The testing focus is practical fit and uplink recognition, because a proprietary C9300X module must seat correctly and expose interfaces through the host switch.
C9300X-NM-8Y compliance details are not published as separate module-level values in the verified product facts used for this item. Deployment compliance usually follows the Catalyst 9300X host switch, power configuration, installed optics, and regional regulatory documentation. Buyers with a compliance checklist should include required safety, EMC, and environmental standards in the quote request.
Before installing C9300X-NM-8Y, the host should be confirmed as a Catalyst 9300X switch with the correct network module bay, supported Cisco IOS XE release, and required transceiver plan. Cables and pluggable optics should be removed during insertion or removal. C9300X-48HXN deployments also need port-usage planning because not all eight positions are usable.
C9300X-NM-8Y does not have a separately verified module license requirement in the product facts used for this row. It operates through the host Catalyst 9300X switch software and hardware platform. Any licensing review should focus on the switch operating mode, Cisco IOS XE feature set, support contract, and the network services configured on the host.
C9300X-NM-8Y ports appear as switch uplink interfaces after the host detects the module. Cisco documentation maps the eight positions to TwentyFiveGigE1/1/1 through TwentyFiveGigE1/1/8 in IOS XE examples. Engineers configure speed, transceiver, trunking, routing, or aggregation behavior according to the Catalyst 9300X design and upstream switch requirements.
C9300X-NM-8Y can be purchased from ORM Systems for UK enterprise and commercial IT hardware requirements. Buyers should submit the exact SKU, target quantity, condition preference, compatible host model, and any optic requirements. That information helps match the correct Cisco Catalyst 9300X uplink module and avoids confusion with C9300-only network modules.
ORM Systems supports international procurement requests for C9300X-NM-8Y, subject to availability, destination, order terms, and export requirements. International buyers should provide delivery country, quantity, preferred condition, and any required documentation. The quote process can then align sourcing, warranty options, and logistics for Catalyst 9300X module deployment outside the UK.
