C9300-NM-2Y Description
The C9300-NM-2Y is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series hot-swappable uplink network module for C9300 modular-uplink access switches. The module has two 25 Gigabit Ethernet SFP28 slots that also take SFP+ and SFP transceivers, so each port runs at 25G, 10G or 1G. It works only in C9300 switches, because Catalyst 9300X models take C9300X-NM modules instead.

Application Scenarios
A Catalyst 9300 access switch in a wiring closet uses the two SFP28 slots as 25G uplinks toward the aggregation layer.
A site that runs 1G or 10G optics today can install the module with SFP or SFP+ transceivers and move the same slots to 25G when the far end is upgraded.

C9300-NM-2Y is the module with two 25G SFP28 slots that also accept SFP and SFP+ optics, while C9300-NM-2Q provides two 40G QSFP+ slots, so a 40G uplink plan needs C9300-NM-2Q instead. C9300-NM-8X gives eight 10G/1G SFP+ slots, the better fit when port count matters more than 25G capability, and it is the module a C9300 switch order carries by default. Catalyst 9300X switches take only C9300X-NM modules: eight 25G/10G/1G ports on a C9300X switch means C9300X-NM-8Y, which C9300-NM-2Y cannot replace.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9300 hosts: Order for Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switches with C9300 SKUs, such as C9300-24P-E and C9300-48H-A. The module fits the network-module slot of C9300 switches only.
- Catalyst 9300X and 9300L: Do not order for C9300X switches, which take C9300X-NM modules, or C9300L models, which have fixed uplinks. Neither switch family has a slot that accepts this module.
