Every WhaleyComm unit is professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and certified by our in-house engineers — the same standard trusted by 5,000+ organisations across 25 years. Not a refurb marketplace. A certified lifecycle partner.
Tested to factory specification. Backed by 25 years of enterprise trust.
The Cisco C9300-NM-2Y is a New network module engineered specifically for the Catalyst 9300 Series switch platform, providing two 25 Gigabit Ethernet (25GE) SFP28-based uplink ports. Designed to expand the uplink capacity of Catalyst 9300 switches, this module slots into the dedicated network module bay, allowing network administrators to tailor connectivity to meet evolving bandwidth demands without replacing the base switch hardware.With 25GE uplink speeds, the C9300-NM-2Y bridges the performance gap between standard 10GE and 40GE/100GE uplinks, making it an ideal choice for organizations scaling their access layer infrastructure to support bandwidth-intensive applications such as unified communications, cloud workloads, and high-density wireless deployments.
The module is hot-swappable and integrates seamlessly with Cisco IOS XE software, supporting advanced features including QoS, security policy enforcement, and telemetry. Its compact form factor and tool-less installation simplify deployment and reduce operational overhead for IT teams managing large enterprise campuses or branch environments.
As a genuine New Cisco product, the C9300-NM-2Y is backed by Cisco's standard warranty and is eligible for Cisco SmartNet support contracts, ensuring long-term reliability and access to Cisco TAC resources. Priced at $1,200.00, this module delivers enterprise-grade 25GE uplink capability with the proven quality and software integration that Catalyst 9300 deployments demand.

Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Access Layer Uplink Expansion
Organizations running Catalyst 9300 switches can install the C9300-NM-2Y to upgrade uplink bandwidth from 10GE to 25GE without replacing core switching hardware. This delivers a cost-effective performance boost to support growing traffic from cloud applications and high-density endpoints.
High-Density Wireless and Unified Communications
Campus environments deploying high-density Wi-Fi 6/6E access points or unified communications platforms generate significant uplink traffic demands. The dual 25GE ports provide the bandwidth headroom needed to eliminate bottlenecks at the access-to-distribution layer boundary.
Data Center Edge and Server Connectivity
IT teams connecting Catalyst 9300 switches at the edge of a data center or server room can leverage 25GE uplinks to align switch uplink speeds with modern server NIC capabilities. This ensures efficient, low-latency connectivity between access switches and core or aggregation infrastructure.

The Cisco C9300-NM-2Y is compatible with the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series switches that feature a dedicated network module expansion slot, including models such as the C9300-24T, C9300-48T, C9300-24P, C9300-48P, C9300-24U, and C9300-48U, among other variants with a network module bay. It requires Cisco IOS XE software; a minimum IOS XE version for full feature support should be verified against the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series compatibility matrix. The module uses SFP28 transceivers for 25GE connectivity — compatible Cisco SFP28 transceivers (sold separately) are required for operation. Note: Not all Catalyst 9300 SKUs include a network module bay; confirm your base switch model supports network module installation prior to purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Product-specific answers about compatibility, testing, warranty, fulfilment, and purchase confidence.
The C9300-NM-2Y is compatible with Catalyst 9300 Series switch models that include a dedicated network module expansion slot. Not all Catalyst 9300 SKUs support network modules, so you should verify your base switch model has an available module bay before purchasing.
No, SFP28 transceivers are not included with the module and must be purchased separately. Cisco-compatible SFP28 optics rated for 25GE are required to activate the uplink ports.
The C9300-NM-2Y is designed to support hot-swap capability on compatible Catalyst 9300 platforms; however, it is recommended to consult the Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series hardware installation guide and your specific IOS XE release notes to confirm supported hot-swap procedures for your environment.
The C9300-NM-2Y provides 25 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks, delivering 2.5 times the bandwidth of a 10GE connection per port. This makes it well-suited for environments experiencing uplink congestion or those deploying bandwidth-intensive applications such as high-density wireless, video, or cloud workloads.
