Information About C3850-NM-2-10G

The Cisco C3850-NM-2-10G is a hot-swappable network module for the Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series switches, designed to enhance uplink flexibility and bandwidth scalability in enterprise access and distribution networks. Featuring two SFP+ ports for 10-Gigabit Ethernet and two SFP ports for 1-Gigabit Ethernet, it allows seamless deployment of mixed-speed uplinks. Ideal for high-performance networking environments, this module supports dynamic scaling and migration to 10G while maintaining backward compatibility with 1G optics.

Key Features:

• Uplink Ports: 2 × 1G SFP + 2 × 1G/10G SFP+ combo slots
• Hot-Swappable: Yes, allows for installation and replacement without powering down the switch
• Compatibility: Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series switches (except SFP-only models)
• Module Format: Field-replaceable, front-panel pluggable unit
• Speed Support: 1 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (SFP/SFP+ optics)
• Optics Supported: Cisco SFP and SFP+ transceivers (including SX, LX, SR, LR)
• Redundancy and Aggregation: Supports features like EtherChannel and LACP for link redundancy and load balancing
• LED Indicators: Individual port status LEDs for activity and link detection
• Use Case: Enhances uplink performance and supports seamless bandwidth upgrades in enterprise campus, access, and aggregation layers
• Form Factor: Compact module insert for Catalyst 3850 switch uplink bays
• Installation: Tool-less insertion/removal into the switch chassis
• Operating Temperature: 0°C to 45°C; humidity 10% to 90% non-condensing

This network module is ideal for enterprise environments requiring a flexible mix of 1G and 10G uplinks. It ensures investment protection and network scalability by supporting next-generation high-speed uplinks, without the need to replace existing switching infrastructure.
