Cisco C9500-NM-2Q= Module : 2-Port 100G/40G Expansion , High-Density Uplink for Catalyst 9500
The Cisco C9500-NM-2Q= is a high-performance network module designed for the Catalyst 9500 Series switches, delivering scalable 100G/40G uplinks for enterprise core, data center, and high-bandwidth environments. This module enables flexible connectivity with 2x QSFP28 ports, supporting both 40G (QSFP+) and 100G (QSFP28) speeds, while offering breakout options for 4x10G or 4x25G configurations.
High-Density 100G/40G Ports: Two QSFP28 ports provide future-proof scalability, ideal for data center spine-leaf architectures or enterprise aggregation.
Breakout Cable Support: Split a single 100G port into 4x25G or 40G into 4x10G, maximizing port utilization.
Seamless Integration: Hot-swappable module compatible with Catalyst 9500 switches (e.g., C9500-24Y4C, C9500-48Y4C).
Cisco IOS-XE Software: Supports SD-Access, Segment Routing, MACsec encryption, and advanced QoS for secure, programmable networks.
StackWise Virtual Compatibility: Combine multiple switches into a single logical device for simplified management.
