C9300-NM-4G Description
C9300-NM-4G is a Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series field-replaceable uplink network module for C9300 modular-uplink switches, used to add 1G fiber uplink or aggregation connections through SFP optics. It provides four 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP module slots, supports standard SFP modules rather than SFP+ optics, maps the usable module interfaces as GigabitEthernet1/1/1 through GigabitEthernet1/1/4, and is documented for the C9300 platform boundary while C9300X switches use C9300X-NM modules.

Application Scenarios
Select C9300-NM-4G when a Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switch needs four 1G SFP uplink slots for fiber handoff or aggregation links that do not require 10G, 25G, or 40G module speeds.
Choose this module when the approved bill of materials is built around standard SFP modules. Cisco states that any combination of standard SFP modules is supported in the four 1GE slots.
Specify C9300-NM-4G when the active interfaces should be GigabitEthernet1/1/1 through GigabitEthernet1/1/4. If the design expects TenGigabitEthernet, TwentyFiveGigabitEthernet, or FortyGigabitEthernet uplinks, compare a different C9300-NM module before quoting.

- In a C9300-NM-4G vs C9300-NM-8X comparison, the table-backed difference is 4-port 1GE SFP versus 8-port 10G/1G SFP+, so the which model to choose decision starts with the required uplink speed and port count.
- The C9300-NM-4G difference from C9300-NM-2Y is the SFP speed class: C9300-NM-4G is the 1GE SFP option, while C9300-NM-2Y is the 25G/10G/1G SFP28 option.
- For C9300-NM-4G vs C9300-NM-2Q, the comparison is SFP 1GE module slots versus QSFP+ 40GE module slots.
- C9300-NM-4G vs C9300-NM-4M is a media-type comparison: C9300-NM-4G uses four 1GE SFP module slots, while C9300-NM-4M is the four-port mGig copper module.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for four 1GE SFP uplinks
Select C9300-NM-4G when the Catalyst 9300 bill of materials requires four native GigabitEthernet SFP uplink interfaces.
2. Use C9300-NM-8X for SFP+ density
Choose C9300-NM-8X instead when the design needs eight 10G/1G SFP+ module slots rather than four 1GE SFP slots.
3. Keep 25G and 40G module choices separate
Quote C9300-NM-2Y for 25G SFP28 uplinks or C9300-NM-2Q for 40G QSFP+ uplinks when those connector and speed classes are part of the approved design.
4. Verify the C9300 platform boundary
Confirm that the target switch is a C9300 SKU of the Catalyst 9300 Series because Cisco separates C9300 network modules from C9300X-NM modules.
