C9500-NM-8X Overview
The Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series Network Module 8-port 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (C9500-NM-8X) is a high-density network module option for the Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switches. It provides 8 ports of 1 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity using SFP/SFP+ transceivers in a pluggable module form factor.
The Cisco C9500-NM-8X module can be installed in the dedicated network module slot on the Cisco Catalyst 9500-40X and 9500-16X switch models to provide 1GbE and 10GbE uplink ports. It utilizes Cisco’s programmable UADP 2.0 ASIC architecture and is managed through the host Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series switch running Cisco IOS XE software.
Features and Benefits
- Provides 8 x 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ ports for high-speed connectivity
- Delivers 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps forwarding performance per port
- Supports auto-negotiation and auto-MDIX on all ports
- SFP+ ports support links up to 300m on MMF or 10km on SMF
- Hot-swappable and field-replaceable module design
- Enables flexible port capacity and uplink connectivity for Cisco Catalyst 9500 deployments
Compatibility
The C9500-NM-8X is compatible with and supported on the following Cisco Catalyst 9500 Series models:
- Cisco Catalyst 9500-40X (C9500-40X-E, C9500-40X-A)
- Cisco Catalyst 9500-16X (C9500-16X-E, C9500-16X-A)
It is not supported on the C9500X models.
Installation
The C9500-NM-8X network module needs to be purchased separately from the switch. It is installed into the dedicated network module slot on the front of the Cisco Catalyst 9500-40X and 9500-16X switches. By default these switch models ship with blank covers over the network module slots.
The module is hot-swappable and provides online insertion and removal (OIR) capability.
