C9300-NM-2Y Description
C9300-NM-2Y is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series 2-port SFP28 uplink network module for adding 25G, 10G, or 1G modular uplinks to Catalyst 9300 switches.
For buyers standardizing on SFP-based aggregation, C9300-NM-2Y sits between C9300-NM-8X and C9300-NM-2Q: it keeps the order on the Catalyst 9300 module family while moving beyond 10G SFP+ density to two 25G-capable SFP28 slots. C9300-NM-2Q is the adjacent option when the bill of materials needs 40G QSFP+ uplinks instead of SFP28 media.
Order review should confirm the target switch family, Cisco-supported SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 optics, the IOS XE baseline, and whether procurement needs the base PID C9300-NM-2Y or the spare PID C9300-NM-2Y=.

Application Scenarios
Use C9300-NM-2Y when a Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch needs two SFP28 uplink slots for 25G aggregation without moving to a C9300X network module.
Select this module when the cabling plan may run 1G, 10G, or 25G optics over the same SFP-family module choice. The module keeps the uplink slot ready for 25G while still supporting lower-rate SFP and SFP+ optics documented by Cisco.
Use this SKU when the requirement is two SFP28 slots. If the design specifies two 40G QSFP+ ports, compare C9300-NM-2Q instead of changing optics around the wrong connector family.

- In a C9300-NM-2Y vs C9300-NM-2Q comparison, the main difference is SFP28 25G/10G/1G media versus QSFP+ 40G media, so the which model to choose decision starts with the transceiver and uplink-speed plan.
- The C9300-NM-2Y difference from C9300-NM-8X is port mix: C9300-NM-2Y provides two 25G-capable SFP28 slots, while C9300-NM-8X provides eight 10G/1G SFP+ slots.
- For buyers comparing C9300-NM-2Y vs C9300X-NM-8Y, the key comparison is platform family because C9300-NM-2Y belongs to the Catalyst 9300 C9300 module set and C9300X-NM-8Y belongs to the C9300X module set.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for two SFP28 uplinks on Catalyst 9300
Select C9300-NM-2Y when the switch BOM is a Catalyst 9300 C9300 network-module platform and the uplink requirement is two SFP28 slots with 25G capability.
2. Use C9300-NM-8X for higher 10G SFP+ port count
Choose C9300-NM-8X when the design values eight 10G/1G SFP+ module slots more than two 25G-capable SFP28 slots.
3. Use C9300-NM-2Q for QSFP+ 40G uplinks
Quote C9300-NM-2Q instead when the uplink plan is based on two 40G QSFP+ ports or documented QSFP breakout behavior rather than SFP28 optics.
4. Separate C9300 and C9300X module families
Verify the switch family before ordering because C9300X-NM modules such as C9300X-NM-8Y are Cisco-listed for C9300X switches, while C9300-NM-2Y is part of the C9300 module set.
