About the C9500-NM-2Q
The C9500-NM-2Q is a network module with two 40G QSFP+ ports. It goes in the uplink slot of the Catalyst 9500 C9500-16X-A and is the module to choose when that switch needs 40G uplinks. On the C9500-24X it takes the place of the included 10G module.
Fit is narrow: it works only with the C9500-16X and C9500-24X, not with the 32C, 32QC, 48Y4C, 24Y4C or 9500X models, which do not take this module. The C9500-NM-2Q-WS is the same module, refurbished.
