Cisco Catalyst 9300 Series Network Modules provide flexible, field-replaceable uplink options for
Catalyst 9300 and
Catalyst 9300X switches. Available in a range of interface types and speeds, these modules allow organisations to tailor switch connectivity to current requirements while supporting future network expansion. As uplink modules are optional, switches are supplied without a network module, allowing you to select the most suitable configuration for your deployment.
Designed for enterprise campus and branch environments, Catalyst 9300 Network Modules support high-speed uplinks from 1 Gigabit Ethernet through to 100 Gigabit Ethernet, delivering investment protection and simplified infrastructure upgrades without replacing the entire switch.
