C-NIM-8M Description
The Cisco C-NIM-8M is an 8-port Multigigabit LAN/WAN module that delivers 100M/1G/2.5G Ethernet, integrated Layer 2 switching, and 90W UPOE+ on four ports for powering high-performance devices such as Wi-Fi 6 APs and 5G gateways. Two ports can operate as native Layer 3 WAN with MACsec, making C-NIM-8M ideal for hybrid WAN/LAN branch deployments on Catalyst 8300 and 8200 Series routers.
