C-NIM-2T Description
The C-NIM-2T is a Cisco Catalyst 8000 two-port 100M/1G dual-mode GE/SFP WAN network interface module for branch routers that hand off copper and fiber circuits. It provides two RJ-45/SFP port groups with one port per group in use at a time, 100/1000BASE-T copper or 1000BASE-X SFP fiber, no PoE, and 256-bit WAN MACsec. The module installs in the NIM slot of Catalyst 8200, 8200L and 8300 routers and requires Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1.

Application Scenarios
A branch with a Catalyst 8200 router can take one carrier circuit as copper and another as SFP fiber, terminating each on its own RJ-45/SFP port group at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.
On a Catalyst 8300, the module can sit in one of the two NIM positions of a C-SM-NIM-ADPT carrier, adding Ethernet WAN ports with 256-bit MACsec to the router.

C-NIM-2T and C-NIM-1X differ in speed and host support: C-NIM-2T has two dual-mode 100 Mbps/1 Gbps RJ-45/SFP groups and runs in Catalyst 8200, Catalyst 8200L and Catalyst 8300 routers, while C-NIM-1X has one 1G/10G SFP/SFP+ port and is documented for Catalyst 8300 only. A 10G SFP+ WAN circuit therefore needs C-NIM-1X, and Catalyst 8200 and 8200L sites cannot use it. One 2.5 Gbps copper WAN port, or 90W PoE for a powered device, points to C-NIM-1M, which runs in the same hosts as C-NIM-2T but is the only one of the three without 256-bit WAN MACsec.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 8200 hosts: Use C8200-1N-4T or C8200L-1N-4T, which have one NIM slot each. The module takes the router’s only NIM slot, which otherwise holds C8200-NIM-BLANK.
- Catalyst 8300 hosts: Use a Catalyst 8300 1RU router such as C8300-1N1S-6T or C8300-1N1S-4T2X, which has a NIM slot. Catalyst 8300 routers list C-NIM-2T as a supported Layer 3 Ethernet NIM for the NIM slot.
