Cisco C3850-NM-8-10G 8-Ports SFP Network Module

The Cisco C3850-NM-8-10G is an uplink expansion module for the Catalyst 3850 Series switches, offering 8 SFP+ ports each capable of 10 Gbps speeds (also backward-compatible to 1 Gbps). It enables network scalability by allowing for the integration of high-speed fiber or copper uplinks. The module is hot-swappable, and all ports default to 10G (named TenGigabitEthernet1/1/1 through 1/1/8), even if operating at lower speeds. Designed for compatibility with specific 3850 multigigabit or SFP+ models (e.g., WS-C3850-24XU, 24XS, 12X48U), it supports wired upgrades without replacing the switch. Ideal for expanding uplink capacity in aggregation or high-performance access layers.

Key Features
