C9300-NM-4G Description
The C9300-NM-4G is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series uplink network module for C9300 modular-uplink access switches that hand off over 1G fiber. The module has four 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP slots that take any combination of standard SFP modules, numbered GigabitEthernet1/1/1 through GigabitEthernet1/1/4. SFP+ optics are not supported, and the module fits only C9300 switches, not Catalyst 9300X switches.

Application Scenarios
In a wiring closet that connects to the distribution layer over 1G fiber, the module gives a C9300 access switch four SFP uplink slots.
A building with several 1G fiber runs can fill the four slots with different standard SFP modules, because any combination is supported.

C9300-NM-4G is the 1G option among the Catalyst 9300 uplink modules: its four SFP slots take standard 1 Gigabit optics and do not accept SFP+ modules. Uplinks that must run at 10G move to C9300-NM-8X, with eight 10G/1G SFP+ slots; that module is also the default on a new C9300 modular-uplink order, so a 1G design has to change the selection to C9300-NM-4G. Two 25G/10G/1G SFP28 slots call for C9300-NM-2Y, and two 40G QSFP+ slots call for C9300-NM-2Q. Copper multigigabit uplinks use C9300-NM-4M instead. None of these fit a Catalyst 9300X switch, which takes C9300X-NM modules.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9300 hosts: Order for Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switches (C9300 SKUs), such as C9300-24P-E, C9300-48P-E, C9300-24T-E and C9300-48T-E. The module fits only the C9300 modular-uplink slot, which these switches provide.
- Unsupported hosts: Do not order for Catalyst 9300X switches, which take C9300X-NM modules, or the fixed-uplink C9300L and C9300LM models. Catalyst 9300 network modules do not work across generations, and fixed-uplink models have no module slot.
