CISCO C9200-NM-4G (Network Module)

The Cisco C9200-NM-4G is a network module designed for use with Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches. It provides four Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) ports, allowing you to expand the connectivity of your switch.  

Here’s a breakdown of its key features and what it offers:

Key Features:

• Four 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP Ports: This module provides four slots for SFP transceivers, which are used to connect fiber optic or copper cables to the switch. This allows for flexible connectivity options, supporting both short-range copper connections and longer-range fiber optic links.  
• Modular Design: The C9200-NM-4G is a modular component that can be easily installed and removed from the switch. This allows you to customize your switch with the specific connectivity options you need.  
• Compatibility: It is specifically designed for use with Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance.  
• SFP Support: Supports a wide range of SFP transceivers, giving you flexibility in choosing the appropriate transceivers for your network requirements.

Benefits:

• Increased Connectivity: Provides additional Gigabit Ethernet ports to connect more devices or to create uplink connections to other switches or network devices.  
• Flexibility: SFP ports allow for the use of different types of transceivers, supporting both copper and fiber optic connections.  
• Scalability: Modular design allows you to add or remove the module as needed, making it easy to scale your network.
• Investment Protection: By using modular components, you can upgrade or change your network connectivity without having to replace the entire switch.

Use Cases:

• Connecting to Servers: Provides Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for connecting servers to the network.
• Uplink Connections: Can be used to create uplink connections to other switches or network devices.
• Fiber Optic Connectivity: SFP ports allow for the use of fiber optic cables, enabling connections over longer distances.  
• Network Expansion: Provides additional ports to expand the capacity of your network.
