Hot-swap spare module with 2 × 40 G QSFP+ uplinks for Catalyst 9300; 80 Gbps aggregate.

C9300-NM-2Q= Description

C9300-NM-2Q
The C9300-NM-2Q= is the spare SKU of Cisco’s Type-1 40 G network module, adding two 40 Gigabit QSFP+ uplinks (80 Gbps full-duplex) to any Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch. Because it is purchase-as-spare (“=”), the module ships factory-sealed in its own box—ideal for field replacements or phased backbone upgrades without disturbing in-service hardware. Installation is tool-less and nondisruptive; slide it into the front bay, and IOS XE automatically recognizes the ports. The QSFP+ cages accept Cisco SR4, LR4 or BiDi optics, enabling long-reach campus aggregation or short-haul collapsed-core designs with the same module. Legacy Catalyst 3850 chassis share the same mechanical keying, simplifying depot stocking across generations.

Product Highlights

Highlight

Why it matters

Instant 80 Gbps uplink boost

Doubles a classic 10 G backbone with two 40 G links—no chassis swap needed.

Spare packaging (=)

Ships separately for rapid RMA or incremental roll-out; keeps production orders lean.

Backward-compatible with 3850

Same Type-1 bay fits earlier Catalyst 3850, easing spares logistics.
