Cisco Catalyst 9300 Accessory Model Overview
Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches provide stackable Ethernet access for enterprise campus networks. The family includes configurations with different port counts, Power over Ethernet capabilities, and uplink options, so the exact switch determines the available interfaces. Cisco positions the series for connecting business users and devices at the access layer while supporting centralized network operations. Choose the model and any compatible modules against the required power budget, uplinks, and management design.
Key Features:
- Stackable access Connect business endpoints within an enterprise access switching platform.
- Port and PoE selection Port density and power capabilities vary by switch model.
- Uplink modules Choose compatible uplink options for the selected hardware.
- Campus access Connect wired users, wireless access points, and other network endpoints.
- Resilient design Stacking and power options depend on the selected platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the port specifications for the Cisco C9300-NM-2Q Network Module?
The C9300-NM-2Q is a Catalyst 9300 network module that provides 2 x 40GE (40 Gigabit Ethernet) ports for high-speed uplink connectivity. This module is designed for modular Catalyst 9300 platforms that require flexible, high-bandwidth network expansion. Contact us today to verify compatibility with your specific Catalyst 9300 chassis configuration.
Is the Cisco C9300-NM-2Q compatible with all Catalyst 9300 switches?
The C9300-NM-2Q is designed for modular Catalyst 9300 platforms (not the fixed C9300L/C9300LM models). The module installs in available NIM slots on compatible C9300 and C9300X chassis. We recommend verifying your specific switch model and available slots before ordering—visit barcodesinc.com or contact our team for compatibility confirmation.
What security features are supported with the C9300-NM-2Q module?
Catalyst 9300 platforms with the C9300-NM-2Q support advanced security capabilities including MACsec-256 encryption, 100G IPsec in hardware, Cisco Umbrella cloud security, and optional Cisco cloud management via Meraki. The module enables enterprise-grade network segmentation and encrypted traffic protection for mission-critical deployments.
Can the C9300-NM-2Q be used for redundancy and high availability?
Yes, the Catalyst 9300 platform supports redundant power and fans, along with NSF/SSO (Non-Stop Forwarding/Stateful Switchover) capabilities when using compatible modules like the C9300-NM-2Q. This architecture ensures minimal downtime during maintenance and failover scenarios for enterprise environments.
What are the typical use cases for adding the C9300-NM-2Q module?
The C9300-NM-2Q is ideal for enterprises requiring high-speed uplink aggregation, data center core switching, and campus network backbone expansion. The dual 40GE ports support bandwidth-intensive applications, video streaming, cloud connectivity, and large-scale data transfers. We offer this module as part of complete Catalyst 9300 solutions—contact us to discuss your network architecture.
Does the C9300-NM-2Q support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
The C9300-NM-2Q itself provides 40GE uplink ports and does not include PoE functionality. However, the Catalyst 9300 platform supports flexible downlink options with Cisco 90W UPOE+, UPOE, and PoE+ capabilities on separate line card modules. Available from us are complete C9300 configurations with integrated PoE support—visit barcodesinc.com for details.
