A maintenance purchase is replacing an existing expansion module or replenishing spare inventory. N6004-M12Q= is the spare ordering form. Identify whether the requirement is an installed replacement or an inventory spare, then specify the required condition, quantity and host configuration on the PO.
An existing installation needs separate endpoint connections through breakout cabling. QSFP-4SFP10G-CU3M provides a 3m passive copper QSFP-to-four-SFP+ assembly. Check the endpoint interfaces and required reach for each connection, then include the cable PID and required quantity on the hardware purchase order.
A complete independently operating switch
N6004-M12Q is an expansion module, not a complete switch. A purchase requiring a standalone switching system must include a compatible chassis.
Active Cisco hardware support coverage
Cisco support ended April 30, 2022. The discontinued replacement also passed its support deadline, and the module line has no named current successor.
