C9200-NM-2Q Description
C9200-NM-2Q is a Cisco Catalyst 9200 field-replaceable uplink network module for adding two 40G QSFP+ uplink slots to supported Catalyst 9200 multigigabit Ethernet switches. Cisco identifies it as the Catalyst 9200 2 x 40GE Network Module, with two 40 Gigabit Ethernet module slots and QSFP+ connectors in each slot, and limits support to the C9200-24PXG and C9200-48PXG multigigabit models. It is used when a Catalyst 9200 access switch needs 40G uplink capacity through Cisco-supported QSFP+ optics, with C9200-NM-2Q= available as the spare PID and Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.1.1 listed as the introductory release for the module.

Application Scenarios
Select C9200-NM-2Q when a Catalyst 9200 C9200-24PXG or C9200-48PXG switch needs two QSFP+ 40G uplink slots instead of lower-speed SFP-family uplink ports.
Use this module line to keep PXG access-switch orders separate from C9200-NM-2Y 25G SFP28 modules and C9200-NM-4X 10G SFP+ modules.
Build the uplink media plan around Cisco-supported QSFP+ transceivers or cables from the Cisco compatibility source instead of treating every 40G optic as interchangeable.

- In a C9200-NM-2Q vs C9200-NM-2Y comparison, the table-backed difference is 40G QSFP+ uplink slots versus 25G SFP28 uplink slots on the supported C9200 PXG switch family.
- C9200-NM-2Q vs C9200-NM-4X is mainly a 2-port 40G QSFP+ versus 4-port 10G SFP+ comparison, so the which model to choose decision starts with the required uplink speed and connector class.
- For C9200-NM-2Q vs C9200-NM-4G, the difference is both speed and supported switch boundary because Cisco lists C9200-NM-4G as unsupported on C9200-24PXG and C9200-48PXG.
- C9200-NM-2Q comparison checks should keep the current SKU tied to C9200 multigigabit Ethernet models and should not treat lower-speed C9200 network modules as direct substitutes.
Selection Guide
1. Match it to PXG C9200 switch models
Choose C9200-NM-2Q only when the target switch is a C9200-24PXG or C9200-48PXG model that Cisco lists with 2x40G network-module support.
2. Choose the 40G QSFP+ path deliberately
Select this module when the uplink design needs two 40G QSFP+ slots rather than the 25G SFP28 slots of C9200-NM-2Y.
3. Keep 10G and 1G modules separate
Use C9200-NM-4X for four 10G SFP+ slots or C9200-NM-4G for four 1G SFP slots only when those Cisco-listed speed classes match the switch model and cabling plan.
4. Validate media against Cisco compatibility data
Confirm QSFP+ transceiver or cable support through Cisco compatibility information before the quote is finalized, because the module identity alone does not confirm every optic choice.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Procurement Risk Controlled |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact module PID |
C9200-NM-2Q on the product line |
Prevents a 40G module order from being replaced by C9200-NM-2Y, C9200-NM-4X, or C9200-NM-4G |
|
Base or spare form |
C9200-NM-2Q for the base module or C9200-NM-2Q= for spare ordering |
Keeps the line item aligned with the intended Cisco ordering form |
|
Supported switch model |
C9200-24PXG or C9200-48PXG |
Avoids selecting the 2x40G module for non-PXG Catalyst 9200, Catalyst 9200L, or Catalyst 9200CX designs |
|
Uplink media plan |
QSFP+ 40G optics or cables verified in Cisco compatibility information |
Prevents unsupported transceiver or cable assumptions |
|
Module substitution |
C9200-NM-2Y, C9200-NM-4X, and C9200-NM-4G are different speed and connector choices |
Reduces selection errors caused by treating all C9200 network modules as interchangeable |
|
Installation handling |
Remove cables and pluggable transceivers before installing or removing the network module |
Reduces installation risk during module replacement or upgrade work |
