NIM-1GE-CU-SFP Description
The NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is a Cisco 1-port Gigabit Ethernet WAN Network Interface Module for Cisco 4000 Series ISR routers. The module has one dual-mode GE/SFP port that takes RJ-45 copper or an SFP optic, runs as a routed Layer 3 port, and fits the NIM slots of all Cisco 4000 Series ISRs. It does not provide Power over Ethernet, MACsec or on-module Layer 2 switching.

Application Scenarios
At a branch, the module gives a Cisco 4000 Series ISR one more routed Gigabit Ethernet interface for an internet or MPLS circuit delivered over copper or fiber.
In a small campus or colocation room, the module’s Layer 3 port ends a Layer 2 trunk from an external switch, since the module has no switching of its own.

NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is the one-port NIM of this group, with a single dual-mode GE/SFP port and no MACsec, while NIM-2GE-CU-SFP adds a second dual-mode port and 256-bit MACsec but is listed only for the Cisco 4321, 4331, 4351, 4431, 4451 and 4461, whereas NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is listed for all Cisco 4000 Series ISRs. Six ports or input packet classification on the module need SM-X-6X1G, and a 10G SFP+ port needs SM-X-4X1G-1X10G, which provides four GE ports or one 10G port but not both. Both SM-X modules fit only SM-X slots. All four modules are routed Layer 3 ports without PoE or on-module Layer 2 switching.
Ordering Checklist
- Cisco 4000 Series ISR hosts: Install the module in any Cisco 4000 Series ISR with a free NIM slot. NIM-1GE-CU-SFP is listed for all Cisco 4000 Series ISRs.
