Product Features
Technical Overview
This network module implements the 1000Base-T standard, providing a data transfer rate of up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) over each of its four RJ45 ports. The technology operates over Category 5e or better twisted pair copper cabling, which is widely deployed and cost-effective for most enterprise environments.
The module's plug-in form factor allows for hot-swappable installation in the designated slot of a Catalyst 9300 switch, minimizing downtime during deployment or maintenance. It is engineered to deliver consistent, high-performance connectivity that is up to ten times faster than traditional Fast Ethernet, significantly boosting network backbone and access layer capacity.
Key Product Advantages
The C9300-NM-4G= module enhances network infrastructure by providing a scalable and integrated method to increase port count. Its compatibility with the Catalyst 9300 series ensures full feature support and centralized management through Cisco's IOS-XE operating system.
High-Density Expansion
Adds four dedicated Gigabit Ethernet ports to your Catalyst 9300 switch, enabling flexible port expansion without requiring a separate switch or complex cabling.
Standards-Based Performance
Utilizes the established 1000Base-T standard for reliable, interoperable Gigabit Ethernet performance over common twisted pair infrastructure.
Deployment / Use Cases
This network module is suited for any scenario where additional Gigabit Ethernet ports are needed on a Catalyst 9300 switch. Common deployments include branch offices, campus networks, and medium-density data center tops-of-rack applications.
It supports data networking tasks such as client access, server connectivity, and inter-switch linking, providing a straightforward upgrade path for networks that require more ports without replacing the core switch hardware.
Office Network Expansion
Ideal for adding wired connections for additional workstations, printers, or IP phones in growing office environments, leveraging existing copper cabling.
Data Center Access Layer
Serves as a cost-effective way to increase server or storage connectivity ports within a rack, maintaining high-speed access to network resources.

FAQ
What switches is this network module compatible with?
This Cisco C9300-NM-4G= network module is specifically designed for and compatible with the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches. It plugs into the dedicated network module slot on these switches to add four Gigabit Ethernet ports. It is not compatible with other Cisco switch series or models outside the Catalyst 9300 family.
What type of cables does this module support?
The module supports standard twisted pair copper cables, specifically those meeting the Category 5e, Category 6, or better specifications. It uses RJ45 connectors and operates using the 1000Base-T standard, which is designed for Gigabit Ethernet over copper cabling up to 100 meters in length.
What is the data transfer speed of each port?
Each of the four ports on this network module supports Gigabit Ethernet, providing a data transfer rate of up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) per port. This is achieved using the 1000Base-T network technology, which is significantly faster than traditional Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) connections.
