The Nexus 400G Line Expansion Module (NXM-X4D) is a Cisco line card that delivers four 400 Gbps QSFP-DD ports to expand Nexus 9500 series switch capacity.
The NXM-X4D is compatible with Cisco Nexus 9504, 9508, and 9516 chassis running NX-OS Release 9.3(5) or later.
Key features include four QSFP-DD 400 Gbps ports, up to 1.6 Tbps module throughput, low-latency forwarding, and advanced telemetry analytics.
To install, power down the chassis, slide the NXM-X4D into an available line card slot, secure the captive screws, then power up and verify slot status via CLI.
Each NXM-X4D delivers up to 1.6 Tbps of bidirectional throughput with sub-microsecond latency for high-performance data center fabrics.
The NXM-X4D supports four independent 400 Gbps QSFP-DD ports on a single line module.
The NXM-X4D supports Cisco QSFP-DD optical and PAM4 DAC/AOC transceivers for distances up to 10 km over single-mode fiber.
Typical power consumption is 100 W per NXM-X4D module under full load, with a maximum of 120 W for peak traffic scenarios.
