This refurbished Cisco C9500-NM-8X is a Catalyst 9500 Series 8 x 10GE Network Module providing eight 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP/SFP+ uplink ports for compatible Catalyst 9500 switches. Every unit has been professionally tested, reset to factory defaults, and inspected through WhaleyComm's ISO 9001-certified process before shipment. At $349, this module delivers a cost-effective path to expanding uplink density without compromising on genuine Cisco hardware.The C9500-NM-8X installs as a plug-in, hot-swappable network module in supported Catalyst 9500 switches, including the C9500-16X and C9500-40X families. It supports any combination of standard SFP and SFP+ transceivers across all eight ports, enabling flexible connectivity over both copper and fiber at speeds up to 10 Gbps per port. Each module contains an internal serial EEPROM encoded with Cisco security information, ensuring full platform authentication upon installation.
For organizations managing aging uplink infrastructure or expanding existing Catalyst 9500 deployments, the refurbished C9500-NM-8X represents significant savings versus new list pricing while delivering identical performance. WhaleyComm has supplied enterprise networking hardware to 5,000+ customers over 25+ years — and every unit we ship is backed by a no-questions, no-time-limit Lifetime Warranty.

Ideal Use Cases
10G Uplink Density Expansion
Add eight additional 1/10GE uplink ports to a compatible Catalyst 9500 switch without replacing the chassis, ideal for growing campus core or aggregation layers that need more uplink capacity.
Multi-IDF Aggregation
Connect multiple intermediate distribution frames (IDFs) over SFP+ uplinks from a single switch slot, simplifying cabling and reducing the need for additional hardware at the core.
Server and Storage Connectivity
Dedicate ports to direct server or storage array connections at 10G speeds, providing low-latency, high-throughput paths within the data center or campus core.
Migration from 1G to 10G Environments
Use the SFP/SFP+ flexibility to mix 1G and 10G transceivers during a phased network upgrade, avoiding a disruptive forklift replacement of existing infrastructure.
Catalyst 9500 Spare and Replacement
Keep a professionally tested refurbished C9500-NM-8X on hand as a hot standby spare, enabling rapid field replacement and minimizing unplanned downtime in production environments.

Yes. Cisco's official Hardware Installation Guide confirms the C9500-NM-8X is hot-swappable, meaning it can be inserted or removed while the switch remains powered on. If the module is removed, it should be replaced with another network module or a blank module to maintain proper airflow and chassis integrity.
The module supports any combination of standard SFP and SFP+ transceivers across all eight ports, accommodating both copper and fiber-optic connections at 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Refer to Cisco's Transceiver Module Compatibility matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com to confirm specific optic compatibility.
