N9K-M4PC-CFP2 Use Case
High-Throughput Spine Connectivity in Hyperscale Data Centers
In a hyperscale data center running Cisco Nexus 9300 leaf switches, the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 4×100 G uplink module aggregates four 100 G links into a 400 G spine fabric via MLAG or Cisco FabricPath. This deployment boosts east-west bandwidth by 4×, reduces fiber-cable count by 75%, and simplifies operations. Outcome: 400 G spine capacity, lower TCO, and seamless scale-out for cloud workloads.
Ultra-Low-Latency Trading Infrastructure for Financial Services
Financial trading firms deploy Nexus 9300 switches with the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 uplink module in co-location facilities to interconnect matching engines and market gateways over 4×100 G links. This architecture minimizes serialization delay, ensures sub-microsecond latency determinism, and delivers hitless failover with redundant paths. Outcome: competitive edge through guaranteed low latency and 24/7 trading reliability.
Scalable AI/ML GPU Cluster Interconnect
AI/ML platform operators connect GPU server pods to an aggregation layer using Nexus 9300 switches equipped with the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 4p 100 G uplink module. The high-density uplinks accelerate data ingestion for training pipelines and support concurrent model workloads. Outcome: up to 10× faster model convergence, elastic scale-out performance, and streamlined network management.

Questions & Answers
What is the Cisco N9K-M4PC-CFP2 uplink module?
The Cisco N9K-M4PC-CFP2 is a CFP2-based, 4-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet uplink module engineered for Cisco Nexus 9300 series switches, delivering high-density, high-performance data center connectivity.
Which Cisco Nexus 9300 models support N9K-M4PC-CFP2?
The N9K-M4PC-CFP2 is supported on all Cisco Nexus 9300-EX and 9300-FX platforms equipped with a modular uplink slot, including models such as the Nexus 93180YC-EX and 9364CQ-FX.
How many ports and what speed does the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 offer?
It provides four independent 100 Gigabit Ethernet ports via CFP2 form factor with full line-rate performance on each port.
What transceiver form factor does the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 use?
The module uses the CFP2 form factor, supporting CFP2 SR4 and LR4 optical transceivers for multimode and single-mode fiber links.
Can I hot-swap the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 without downtime?
Yes, the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 supports hot insertion and removal, allowing maintenance without disrupting switch operations.
What software image and license are required?
Cisco NX-OS version 9.2(1) or later with an Elite or Universal license is required to enable full 100G functionality on the N9K-M4PC-CFP2.
Can I use breakout cables with N9K-M4PC-CFP2?
No, the CFP2-based N9K-M4PC-CFP2 does not support 4×25G breakout; for breakout applications, use Cisco QSFP28 breakout modules.
What is the power consumption of the N9K-M4PC-CFP2?
The module consumes up to 100 W of power, with typical draw around 70 W under normal load conditions.
What temperature and environmental specifications are supported?
It operates in temperatures from 0 °C to 40 °C with 5% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing) and meets NEBS and ETSI environmental standards.
How do I install the N9K-M4PC-CFP2 in a Nexus 9300 switch?
Slide the module into the designated uplink slot, secure it with the integrated captive screws, and verify the port status LEDs turn green.
