The Cisco C9200-NM-4X 4-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ Network Module is a high-performance uplink expansion module designed for Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series Switches. Engineered to enhance enterprise campus and branch network performance, it provides four 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplink ports that deliver high-speed fiber connectivity, increased bandwidth, and flexible network expansion for growing business environments.
Designed as a plug-in network module, the Cisco C9200-NM-4X seamlessly integrates with Catalyst 9200 Series switches, enabling organizations to upgrade uplink capacity without replacing existing switching infrastructure. Supporting both 1 Gigabit SFP and 10 Gigabit SFP+ optical transceivers, as well as compatible Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables, the module offers deployment flexibility for short- and long-distance fiber connections.
The module delivers up to 40 Gbps of aggregate uplink bandwidth, providing line-rate performance for bandwidth-intensive applications such as cloud services, data center interconnects, unified communications, virtualization, and enterprise network aggregation. Its support for IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation (LACP) allows multiple uplinks to be combined for increased throughput and enhanced network resilience.
Running with Cisco IOS XE, the Cisco C9200-NM-4X supports advanced enterprise networking features including VLAN tagging (IEEE 802.1Q), jumbo frames, hardware-based Quality of Service (QoS), and secure network access technologies, ensuring reliable and efficient traffic management across modern business networks. The module also integrates with Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Prime Infrastructure, simplifying network provisioning, monitoring, automation, and lifecycle management.
Its hot-swappable design enables installation or replacement without powering down the host switch, minimizing network downtime and simplifying maintenance. Powered directly by the Catalyst 9200 switch and utilizing passive cooling, the module requires no additional power source while maintaining reliable enterprise-class operation.
Ideal for enterprise campus networks, high-speed switch uplinks, fiber backbone expansion, network aggregation, data center connectivity, and business network upgrades, the Cisco C9200-NM-4X 4-Port 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ Network Module provides scalable, high-bandwidth uplink connectivity and dependable performance for modern enterprise networking infrastructures.
