The Cisco C9300X-NM-2C is a network module designed for the Cisco Catalyst 9300X Series switches. It provides high-speed uplink connectivity with two ports that can operate at either 40 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) or 100GbE speeds. Here’s a detailed description:
Key Features:
- Dual-Rate Ports: The module has two QSFP28 ports that support both 40GbE and 100GbE speeds, offering flexibility and investment protection as network demands evolve.
- QSFP28 Interface: The QSFP28 (Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28) interface is a standard for high-speed data transmission, supporting both 40GbE and 100GbE speeds.
- Modular Design: As a network module, it can be easily installed and removed from a compatible Catalyst 9300X Series switch, allowing for customization and expansion of network capabilities.
- Compatibility: It is specifically designed to be compatible with Cisco Catalyst 9300X Series switches, ensuring seamless integration and interoperability.
Benefits:
- High Bandwidth: The 100GbE ports provide ample bandwidth for demanding applications and high-volume data transfer, improving network performance and efficiency.
- Flexibility: The dual-rate capability allows for the use of existing 40GbE infrastructure while providing a path to upgrade to 100GbE speeds as needed.
- Scalability: By adding this module to a Catalyst 9300X Series switch, you can easily increase the number of high-speed ports in your network, allowing it to scale with your needs.
- Ease of Use: The modular design simplifies installation and removal, making it easy to upgrade or reconfigure your network.
Use Cases:
- Data Centers: Ideal for connecting servers and network storage devices in data center environments where high bandwidth and low latency are critical.
- Campus Networks: Suitable for large campus networks where high-speed uplinks are required to connect different network segments.
- Service Provider Networks: Can be used in service provider networks to provide high-speed connectivity to customers.
