Application Scenarios
Use C9300X-NM-8M when a Catalyst 9300X deployment needs copper multigigabit module ports instead of SFP or QSFP optical uplinks.
Choose this module when the project needs modular copper connectivity and wants to avoid changing the physical uplink media to fiber optics. Verify cable type and supported speeds before ordering.
C9300X-NM-8M fits projects that already standardize on the 8-port mGig module for Catalyst 9300X. For spare-part ordering, confirm whether the quote should use C9300X-NM-8M=.

- Choose C9300X-NM-8M when the Catalyst 9300X expansion requirement is copper multigigabit Ethernet.
- Choose C9300X-NM-8Y when the same switch needs SFP-based 1G, 10G, or 25G fiber uplinks.
- Choose C9300X-NM-2C or C9300X-NM-4C when the design needs 40G or 100G QSFP uplinks instead of copper ports.
- For Catalyst 9300X-HXN switches, verify usable-port limits before selecting the 8-port module.
Selection Guide
1. Choose C9300X-NM-8M for copper mGig module ports
Select C9300X-NM-8M when the Catalyst 9300X switch needs eight modular copper multigigabit Ethernet ports and the cabling plan is based on copper rather than optical media.
2. Choose C9300X-NM-8Y for fiber SFP28 uplinks
If the uplink design uses SFP, SFP+, or SFP28 optics at 1G, 10G, or 25G, compare C9300X-NM-8Y instead of quoting the copper mGig module.
3. Choose C9300X-NM-2C or C9300X-NM-4C for 100G uplinks
If the requirement is QSFP-class 40G or 100G uplink capacity, use C9300X-NM-2C or C9300X-NM-4C depending on required port count and supported switch model.
4. Confirm HXN port limits and cable plan before purchase
Before ordering, verify whether the switch is a Catalyst 9300X-HXN model, confirm the Cisco IOS XE release, and check that the copper cabling plan matches the required link speeds.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Switch Model |
Catalyst 9300X Series switch |
Confirms the module is being ordered for the supported platform family |
|
Standard C9300 vs C9300X |
Whether the switch is Catalyst 9300X or standard Catalyst 9300 |
C9300X-NM modules are not for standard Catalyst 9300 switches |
|
Media Type |
Copper multigigabit Ethernet |
Confirms that C9300X-NM-8M is the correct module type |
|
Port Count |
Eight copper module ports |
Determines whether the 8-port mGig module matches the design |
|
IOS XE Release |
Cisco IOS XE 17.5.1 or later for module introduction |
Confirms the software baseline can support the module |
|
HXN Deployment |
Whether the switch is Catalyst 9300X-HXN |
HXN models have usable-port limits for C9300X-NM-8M |
|
Cable Plan |
Copper cabling type and required link speeds |
Prevents ordering a copper module that does not match the cabling design |
|
Spare Requirement |
C9300X-NM-8M or C9300X-NM-8M= |
Prevents confusion between base module and spare-part ordering |

They flagged a detail we missed in our spec. Saved us from ordering wrong. Invoice formatting was a bit different from what our AP system expects, but workable.
Our monitoring shows clean baseline performance since installation.
Been ordering from Layer23 for multiple projects now. Reliable partner.
