About the C9300X-NM-4C
The C9300X-NM-4C gives a Catalyst 9300X four QSFP28 uplink ports at 100G or 40G, twice the ports of the C9300X-NM-2C. It is the module for a 9300X that aggregates several 100G links, or that connects to two cores at 100G each with ports to spare.
It does not fit every 9300X. It fits only the C9300X-48HX, C9300X-48TX and C9300X-24Y, in their -A, -E and Meraki-managed -M versions; the full list is below. On the other 9300X models, the two-port C9300X-NM-2C is the 100G option. The standard Catalyst 9300 and 9300L do not take it.
What’s included
