Product Overview

The Cisco C9300-NM-2Q is a 2-port 40 Gigabit Ethernet QSFP+ uplink network module purpose-built for the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series modular uplink switches — delivering high-speed 40G connectivity from the access layer to the distribution and core layers of the enterprise campus network. Designed as a field-replaceable, hot-swappable plug-in module for the C9300 Series modular uplink slot, the C9300-NM-2Q provides the highest uplink bandwidth option in the C9300 network module lineup — enabling non-disruptive migration from 10G to 40G uplinks as network bandwidth demands grow.

Supporting QSFP+ transceivers and QSFP+ direct-attach cables (DAC) or active optical cables (AOC) for flexible connectivity options, the C9300-NM-2Q is compatible with all Catalyst 9300 modular uplink models and delivers the high-speed uplink bandwidth required for spine connectivity in leaf-spine architectures, high-density server room uplinks, and inter-switch links requiring 40G throughput.

Physical Specifications

• Weight: 3.00 lbs
• Form Factor: Plug-in network module — fits C9300 Series modular uplink slot

Included Accessories

• Cisco C9300-NM-2Q uplink network module

Important Notes

• This is a network module only — not a standalone switch. Requires a compatible Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series modular uplink switch with an available uplink module slot for installation.
• Not compatible with C9300L fixed uplink models — the C9300L series uses fixed uplinks and does not have a modular uplink slot. Only compatible with C9300 modular uplink SKUs.
• QSFP+ transceivers not included — the C9300-NM-2Q accepts QSFP+ modules, DAC cables, or AOC cables for connectivity, all sold separately.
• C9300-NM-2Q vs C9300-NM-8X: The C9300-NM-2Q provides 2x 40G QSFP+ ports vs 8x 10G SFP+ on the C9300-NM-8X. Total bandwidth is equal (80 Gbps) but the -2Q is preferred for 40G spine connectivity while the -8X is better for multi-port 10G server or switch connections.
• C9300-NM-2Q vs C9300-NM-4G: The C9300-NM-2Q delivers 40G uplinks vs only 1G on the C9300-NM-4G — a significant upgrade for high-bandwidth distribution layer connectivity.
