Application Scenarios
Use C9300X-NM-4C when a supported Catalyst 9300X switch needs four 40G or 100G uplink slots for aggregation, distribution, or high-bandwidth campus backbone connectivity.
Choose this module when two QSFP-class uplinks are not enough and the design needs additional uplink ports without changing to another switch family.
C9300X-NM-4C fits projects that already standardize on C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX, or C9300X-48TX. If the installed switch is another Catalyst 9300X model, confirm compatibility before quoting this module.

- Choose C9300X-NM-4C when the design needs four 40G or 100G uplink slots and the switch model is officially supported.
- Choose C9300X-NM-2C when two QSFP-class uplinks are enough or the switch model does not support C9300X-NM-4C.
- Choose C9300X-NM-8Y for 1G/10G/25G SFP-based uplinks instead of QSFP-class 40G/100G links.
- Choose C9300X-NM-8M when the uplink or module requirement is copper multigigabit Ethernet rather than fiber/QSFP optics.
Selection Guide
1. Choose C9300X-NM-4C for supported Catalyst 9300X models that need
Select C9300X-NM-4C only when the target switch is C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX, or C9300X-48TX and the uplink design needs four 40G or 100G ports.
2. Choose C9300X-NM-2C when two 100G uplinks are enough
If the design needs only two high-speed uplinks, C9300X-NM-2C is the closer match and has broader Catalyst 9300X platform coverage.
3. Do not quote it for standard Catalyst 9300 switches
C9300X network modules are supported only on Catalyst 9300X switches. Standard Catalyst 9300 modular-uplink switches require C9300-NM modules instead.
4. Confirm optics and Cisco IOS XE release before purchase
Before ordering, verify Cisco-supported QSFP optics, DACs, AOCs, breakout requirements, and the target Cisco IOS XE release for the installed switch model.
Ordering Checklist

Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Switch Model |
C9300X-24Y, C9300X-48HX, or C9300X-48TX |
Confirms the module is being ordered for a Cisco-listed compatible switch |
|
Standard C9300 vs C9300X |
Whether the switch is Catalyst 9300X or standard Catalyst 9300 |
C9300X-NM modules are not for standard Catalyst 9300 switches |
|
Uplink Speed |
40G or 100G requirement |
Confirms that a QSFP-class module is the right module type |
|
Port Count |
Four QSFP-class uplinks |
Determines whether C9300X-NM-4C is required or C9300X-NM-2C is enough |
|
IOS XE Release |
Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1 or later for module introduction |
Confirms the software baseline can support the module |
|
Optics or Cables |
Cisco-supported QSFP optics, DACs, AOCs, or breakout cables |
Prevents ordering a module without compatible media |
|
Spare Requirement |
C9300X-NM-4C or C9300X-NM-4C= |
Prevents confusion between base module and spare-part ordering |
