C9300X-NM-4C Description
The C9300X-NM-4C is a Cisco Catalyst 9300X network module for high-density 40G and 100G uplinks. It provides four dual-rate QSFP28 ports that run at 100G or 40G and installs in the uplink slot of C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX and C9300X-48TX switches. Standard Catalyst 9300 switches do not support it, and it requires Cisco IOS XE Bengaluru 17.6.1 or later.

Application Scenarios
An access switch at the edge of a campus backbone uses all four QSFP28 ports to build redundant 100G links toward two aggregation switches.
A C9300X-48TX closet with 48 multigigabit downlinks uses the four ports to keep the uplink bandwidth in step with the downlink speed.

C9300X-NM-4C offers four 100G/40G QSFP ports where C9300X-NM-2C offers two, but it is listed only for C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX and C9300X-48TX, and it needs Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1 against 17.5.1 for C9300X-NM-2C. A Catalyst 9300X host outside those three, or a design that needs only two uplinks, should use C9300X-NM-2C. Uplinks on 1G, 10G or 25G SFP optics need C9300X-NM-8Y, with eight SFP28 ports. Copper multigigabit uplinks at 10G or 1G need C9300X-NM-8M, which also has eight ports and uses standard Ethernet cabling.
Ordering Checklist
- Catalyst 9300X hosts: Use the module in C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX and C9300X-48TX. Other Catalyst 9300X models are not listed for this four-port module, and standard Catalyst 9300 models take C9300-NM modules instead.
