Product Features
Product Overview
The Cisco C9200-NM-4X= is a dedicated 4-port network expansion module engineered for the Catalyst 9200 Series switching platform. This module delivers four 1G/10G Ethernet ports using 10GBase-X technology, enabling high-speed data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps per port.
Designed as a plug-in expansion for compatible Catalyst 9200 switches, it provides a straightforward path to increase port density and network throughput without requiring a full switch replacement. The module supports data networking applications where scalable bandwidth and reliable connectivity are critical.
Technical Overview
This expansion module implements 10GBase-X networking technology, which defines the physical layer specifications for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optic cabling. Each of the four expansion slots operates at 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps speeds, depending on the installed transceiver and link negotiation.
The module interfaces directly with the Catalyst 9200 Series switch backplane, maintaining low latency and full switching capacity. It is recognized and managed through the switch's native Cisco IOS software, allowing for unified configuration and monitoring across all ports.
Key Product Advantages
The C9200-NM-4X= enables network administrators to flexibly scale their Catalyst 9200 switch port count without disrupting existing infrastructure. By adding four high-speed Ethernet ports, it extends the useful life and capability of the base switch.
Bandwidth Scalability
Adds up to 40 Gbps of aggregate throughput capacity to compatible Catalyst 9200 switches, supporting bandwidth-intensive applications and reducing network bottlenecks.
- Four independent 1G/10G ports
- 10GBase-X technology for 10 Gbps per port
Seamless Integration
Plugs directly into the switch expansion slot and is recognized automatically by Cisco IOS. No external power or separate management is required.
- Hot-swappable design
- Unified switch management
Deployment / Use Cases
This network module is ideal for expanding connectivity in Catalyst 9200-based network deployments where additional high-speed ports are needed. It suits environments requiring incremental growth without replacing core switching hardware.
Common use cases include adding uplink ports for aggregation, connecting high-performance servers or storage arrays, and providing extra ports for network segmentation or VoIP deployments. The module's 10GBase-X support makes it suitable for fiber-based backbone links or long-distance connections within data centers or campus networks.
Switch Port Expansion
Increase the available Ethernet port count on Catalyst 9200 switches to accommodate new devices, servers, or network segments.
High-Speed Uplinks
Utilize the 10 Gbps ports for switch-to-switch or switch-to-core connections, improving backbone throughput and reducing latency.

FAQ
What switches is the C9200-NM-4X= module compatible with?
The C9200-NM-4X= is specifically designed for the Cisco Catalyst 9200 Series switches. It plugs into the expansion slot on compatible Catalyst 9200 models and is recognized and managed through the switch's Cisco IOS software. It is not compatible with other Cisco switch series or non-Cisco equipment.
What type of network technology does this module use?
This module uses 10GBase-X networking technology, which is the physical layer specification for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over fiber optic cabling. It supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps per port when used with appropriate 10G transceivers and compatible fiber cables.
How many ports does the C9200-NM-4X= add to a switch?
The C9200-NM-4X= adds four expansion slots to the switch, each supporting a 1G or 10G Ethernet port depending on the installed transceiver. This provides up to four additional high-speed connections, increasing the total port count and aggregate throughput capacity of the Catalyst 9200 switch.
